Could someone please explain to me why Liverpool are called the Dippers? It's a funny nickname but I don't understand why. :)

as opposed to Manchester, which is full of really nice areas and very wealthy areas, and have no slums, nor an issue with gun crime, nor the highest crime rates in the north west of England.

To be fair most of them are from Kent so they probably don't have a clue what Manchester's really like.

Its a song Fred. Get it. A song. sung by football fans to goad other football fans. as in 'does the circus know you're here" to Peter Crouch who as far as I know is not currently employed by a circus. Oh hang on Liverpool FC.:)

Everyone i ever met from Wythenshawe has been a dirty blue, there must be a reds though i suppose. I dont think its that bad.

Wythenshawe is just one place in Greater Manchester, the whole of Liverpool/Merkeyside, is a shit hole.

What and Greater Manchester is a paradise is it? Liverpool's deprived but Manchester's deprived and crime ridden, bad combination.
Crime ridden because of the scouse vermin that have flocked there on the rob having stripped their own shithole to the bones

Had to work in Wythy a fair bit. There are loads of red devils there. Your top boy lives there for a start (can't remember his name)...

Anyway both towns have their shitholes. Both have their nice parts.

Dirtypool is a cancer on our society.

I'd put a giant fence around the place and flamethrow it all
