Man United fans employ getaway driver for Anfield prank

Long before Manchester United surpassed Liverpool by clinching their record 19th title last weekend, there were surely fans of the Red Devils plotting the ways they would rub it in the faces of their rivals. And at Liverpool's 2-0 home loss to Spurs on Sunday, they did just that.

From the Guardian (via The Offside):

As Liverpool fans began their customary chorus of You'll Never Walk Alone, United fans, organised by the Red Issue fanzine, unveiled a banner emblazoned with the words "MUFC 19 TIMES" in the Anfield Road End of the ground.

Those responsible had a getaway car waiting outside the ground, plus fellow conspirators in the adjoining stand in order to get photographic evidence.

Now, this could have gone very, very wrong for those daring pranksters. The fact that they even made it to their getaway car is pretty miraculous. I mean, if these guys could pull this off, they're wasting their time on football rivalry based pranks when they could be pulling off an epic string of bank heists.
