Would have to batter Everton fans if we did this!

And this..... their premature congratulation (any excuse to refresh it)...............

Ex-England and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard and MK Dons have been in contact over the vacant manager's role.

It is not clear whether the 36-year-old midfielder, who is set to leave MLS side LA Galaxy in December, will retire from playing should he land the role.

He would replace Karl Robinson at MK Dons, who are 21st in League One.

Gerrard, England's fourth most-capped player, left Anfield in 2015 after 17 years in the first team, playing 710 times and winning eight major trophies.

It would be car crash TV. Is that stadium big enough for the ego?

No DJ would be safe in the greater Milton Keynes area.

they believe they are rivals despite being nowhere near their class

they are to us mate.

they think any succesful team is their rival though

Playing devils advocate like, but they're not really our rivals by your definition as we're nowhere near them on the pitch. Rivalry can also be historic too, teams can be opposite ends of the spectrum and still be rivals, and still I'm pretty sure they Class us as rivals despite us not being successful.

Villa v brum, Dortmund v schalke, Spurs v arsenal, Newcastle v Sunderland, West Ham v millwall, to name a few, some of them haven't even been in the same division. Some of these rivalries are still red hot despite some of the opposition not being anywhere near on the pitch........ or successful.

what i mean mate is that they are our rivals because we are back to back in the city, both liverpool clubs so therefore want to compete against them whether it is in a season or over 2 games.

Whereas them lot look at the next big team and create a rivalry to shoehorn themselves into it. chelsea, city, spurs, united, all their rivals even when they were nowhere near them league wise.

Which begs the question, what sort of fan base genuinely create new rivalries just to make themselves feel relevant? spreading false lies about chelsea fans urinating on memorials and stuff, simply to fire up a non existant rivalry in the league with chelsea.

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

Stevey GBH in contact with MK Dons.

Couldn't make it up.

 

[No8Bally]

Slipster to MK - the loonies down there will switch their allgience because they are all divvies

 

[Tubey]

Oh please take that job and then "slip" down the leagues.

 

[roydo]

If he goes there as either a coach, player manager, or full time manager, shows some stones imo.

The united rivalry is historic, it's not just them creating it, it's reciprocated. The Chelsea one is obviousy more recent though and probably stems from the ill feeling towards Jose and all 'them' games in Europe. Not sure whether the same ill feeling exists to this day. They were competitors for a short while and hated each other. That works/worked both ways too. I'm sure if you asked RS fans they wouldn't know what you were talking about regarding the 'rivalry' with City and Spurs though, they've been in competition with them once or twice in the League, doesn't make them rivals (in the sense of what we're talking about) though. I only wish we could have rivalry with other clubs other than the RS, and I don't mean the likes of Soton or Stoke who are probably our 'rivals' for a Europa place .That would mean we were more relevant and respected.

I cant see Gerrard going down there. Hes supposed to be on a promise to work with Klopp isnt he according to his denials and knicker flashing whilst at Melwood/seated in The Big One...and I cant see his one leaving the grandeur of the latest mansion hes having built up here..."Milton Keynes ????? Oooos 'ee ??? "

Still a gang of scruffy bellends

Believe me mate. I get loads of kopite fan page stuff shared on my Facebook and they think they have a rivalry with them all.

As for the Chelsea one, thing is, so you think Chelsea really care about them? They have their London rivals and certainly have a competitive rivalry with United bit in terms of Liverpool? do you think that maybe that has happened because the kopite have forced any issue? to make them noticed by another team surpassing them?
