Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7.5/10

The rivalry between the two leading cities of the North-West doesn’t just limit itself to the battles that take place between the four combined sides battling it out for Premiership supremacy, it extends back through recent history in its struggle to been to seen as the second city of the country, the powerhouses of commerce and in its music.

The football is all well and good however, on recent form Manchester shades it, especially with the re-emergence of the only team to actually play their home games in Manchester, but the music and its dominance on the local cultural landscape; that surely has to be down as a thrashing handed out by the city that straddles the Mersey.
