Liverpool supporters unfurled a banner at Wembley on Saturday that contained a simple message: ‘Imagine Being Us.’ It will be on the Kop tonight for the game against Manchester United, displayed so the ranks of away fans in the Anfield Road end can see it and take note. The taunt is all the more wounding because of its understated nature.
While Liverpool supporters were bouncing around Wembley expressing their joy before their team’s 3-2 FA Cup semi-final victory over Manchester City, about 1,000 United diehards were marching at Old Trafford. They remained outside the game against Norwich City until the 17th minute to protest against the Glazers’ 17 years of ownership. They did not like what they saw once they took up their seats.
