This has to definitely be one of the greatest moments in soccer history.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has praised the pranksters who hung an MUFC 19 TIMES banner at Anfield and claimed he wished he had done it!

Speaking at clubs end-of-season awards gala, Fergie said: I wish I had taken that banner to Liverpool on Sunday. I bet there were 76,000 fans wishing they had thought of that.
We showed you the banner earlier this week.

Intrepid United supporters unfurled the banner in the Anfield Road End as their fierce rivals launched into a chorus of Youll Never Walk Alone before Sundays match against Spurs. The Red Devils had a getaway car waiting outside and accomplices on the other side of the stadium to collect photographic evidence of the banner in place.
 
You got to love soccer coaches. He could have easily said it was disrespectful for the other team like they do here in the US for baseball or other professional sports. But he sided with the fans who pay his salary.
