The DA

Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre has asked both Anfield and Manchester United supporters to only hate each other a little bit, and to show it in positive ways, like calling somebody a wanker behind their back. Ayre was speaking ahead of a potentially explosive FA Cup clash this weekend and told fans to keep the rioting down to a minimum, so that he could continue to enjoy his sandwiches in the executive suite.

Ayre claimed ‘whilst it great to see two sets of people outright despise each other for all the right reasons, we only want so much hating. Be English about it; build up your anger, keep it in and just spend hours and hours of your day at the office bitching to everyone about it later. It’s so much simplier than getting your lights knocked out by a guy with no shirt on.’

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson also looked to calm the mood ahead of the fourth round clash telling reporters ‘those scousers don’t have the guts to take us on. Chiiiiiiiiiickens. Whoops did I say that out loud?’
