United fans goad Pool with 19

MANCHESTER UNITED fans got the best out of the club’s record-breaking 19th title at Anfield on Sunday, unveiling a banner inside the ground before the Reds’ game against Spurs.

Eclipsing Liverpool’s total of 18, fans, organised by the Red Issue fanzine, unveiled a banner reading “MUFC 19 TIMES” in the Anfield Road End of the ground.

Those responsible had a getaway car waiting outside the ground and fellow conspirators in the adjoining stand in order to get photographic evidence.

The banner-baiting between the clubs has a long history, with Liverpool fans’ now famous “Come Back When You Have Won 18” banner kicking things off in 1994. United fans responded to that after clinching their 18th title in 2008-09 and have now added another chapter to the ongoing rivalry.
