All cities have run down areas.

I don't know any city in the UK that has a stunningly beautiful environment surrounding it's football field.
Anfield is crappy I'll give you that. I should know, I lived there until I was sixteen. I walked past the ground everyday on my way to school.

Gosh, I've never heard anybody quote Harry Enfield's The Scousers at me before. Never. You are the first. How original of you.

Never heard anybody ask me if I know the Beatles before either.

Ps/ Have you been down Brookside Close, as well?

Yeah it was. I guess it got hauled away after Fred got nabbed. He was part of that operation Yew tree saga right? Who'd have thunk it?

I'd moved to America when all that was going on.

No. And haven't watched Brookside for about 30 years. Is it still on?

I'm with you there. I love Glasgow architecture. I have a painting of the Glasgow school of art hanging in my hallway. I heard about the fire there. Crying shame.

What was more weird, was what Fred was teaching Ian Brown from the Stone Roses (of all people), and others, when he was a school teacher. They should've drown him in the Albert Dock!

Nah, they got rid of it years ago. Shame, cos I was a fan of it. But it went a bit downhill, when they had Jimmy Corkhill as a teacher (same as Fred ), but then he went a bit mental, trying to throw himself off a school roof...
