STEVEN GERRARD A mate owned a Bryan Robson top. We were kicking about, and I asked if I could be Robbo for a while. My dad looked out and went ballistic. He wasn't having his kid dragging the Gerrard name through the gutter. I thought we'd have to move! [LNB]LEE SHARPEIt's the biggest fixture of the season. It's not just about two clubs it's about two cities, two unbelievable histories, two clubs that both think they are the biggest in the world so there is a lot of ego at stake. Other than the European Cup final, this is the biggest game of the season. [LNB]JAMIE CARRAGHERI've always had respect for them. They're a proper club, like us, and they should have respect for us too. They aren't blasé or big-headed. Chelsea are, or have been in the past. At United, there isn't a player who you think: 'God, I hate him.' [LNB]GARY NEVILLEI can't stand Liverpool, I can't stand Liverpool people, I can't stand anything to do with them. When I was growing up there was certainly a large amount of jealousy involved. The truth is, I envied them for all the success their team was having. [LNB]PHIL THOMPSON I would start rallying the troops for this game the minute the previous match had finished. It meant that much to me and I'd make sure it meant just as much to the players around me. It is always a massive occasion. Nothing matches the passion and fire surrounding this one.  Fergie's fall-guy: Sir Alex pours scorn on Rafa and his rants[LNB]Manchester United v Liverpool: It doesn't get any bigger or better than this[LNB]Bullish Benitez ready to show the gap between Liverpool and Manchester United is closing[LNB]Ferguson stands by Rooney over Manchester United striker's 'I hate Liverpool' jibe[LNB]Rooney: I hate Liverpool and Man United will put an end to their title dreams[LNB]LIVERPOOL FC NEWS FROM ACROSS THE WEB[LNB]MANCHESTER UNITED FC NEWS FROM ACROSS THE WEB[LNB][LNB]
