Abuse United players when they play for United and cheer them when they play for England... Well professional football players do it all the time, just ask Gerrard, Owen even JC (he does not want to play internationals anymore but he tried his whole career), and all other "scouse" players that were good enough to play for England. None of them said they were scouse not English. In the late 70's almost the whole of the English team played for Liverpool.
Most of this is cr@p because if England won the World Cup (mind you that seems unlikely) all of Liverpool would celebrate dispite what many say now. I am sure everyone who remembers celebrated in '66 and there were a few united players in that team.
I would rather Liverpool win a throw in than England win the World Cup.
