But I understand that is the majority's fault and it's not right.Carragher, however, hit back by saying: I didn't say that you clown, stop playing to the gallery like you always do.Meanwhile, United can secure Champions League football with just a point today.But Liverpool enter the clash knowing victory would see them draw level with their fierce rivals on 61 points.
