I've known Phil Thomas since we were kids, he's a rabid Manc and I chinned him one night because of a disgraceful comment he made about Hillsborough. I find it hard to believe he "inherited the goodwill". I always thought it was a complete piss-take that they installed him as the LFC reporter. This is him reacting to YNWA being played at Old Trafford before the Rugby League grand final a few years back - he covers the Rugby for the S*n as well as the footy. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NUrb60KMO0k
