Controversial, but a great way to get the fans on side

DANIEL STURRIDGE has had a dig at Manchester United ahead of Sunday’s showdown by claiming Liverpool are the “biggest club” in England.
The striker joined the Reds in a £12million move from European champions Chelsea last week.
And the Kop new boy is adamant he has joined the nation’s biggest team — even though Liverpool sit 21 points behind league leaders United going into this weekend’s Old Trafford clash.
The striker, who began his career at Manchester City, said: “It is the biggest club I have ever played for.
“In the Premier League, there is no bigger club than Liverpool.”
Sturridge, who bagged on his debut against Mansfield in the FA Cup, also hailed manager Brendan Rodgers for giving him the chance to move to Anfield.
He added: “I thank the boss for giving me an opportunity to play for a club like this and I thank God for making it possible.
“It’s amazing for the manager to put such faith in me. The only way I can repay him is by doing a job on the football field.
“For him to pay money for me and to have faith in me and show everybody around the world that he is prepared to take a chance on me, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to repay him for that.
“As a young player, when you play for big clubs you can sometimes get caught up in it and you never get another opportunity to play for another big club.
“So I’m grateful the manager has given me this chance and that he believes in me. I’m just glad to be here.”
