The Liverpool manager flies to Baghdad to watch a young Iraqi play football
and is suitably impressed and arranges him to come over to Anfield.

Two weeks later Liverpool are 4-0 down to Man Utd with only 20 minutes left.

The manager gives the young Iraqi striker the nod and on he goes.
The lad is a sensation, scores 5 goals in 20 minutes and wins the game for
Liverpool. The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted
and the media love the new star.

When the player comes off the pitch he phones his mum to tell her about his
first day in English football. "Hello mum, guess what?" he says in an
Iraqi accent. "I played for 20 minutes today, we were 4-0 down but I scored
5 and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the media, they all love me."

"Wonderful," says his mum, "Let me tell you about my day. Your father got
shot in the street and robbed, your sister and I were ambushed, gang raped
and beaten and your brother has joined a gang of looters, and all while you
were having such great time."

The young lad is very upset, "What can I say mum, but I'm so sorry."
"Sorry?!!! Sorry?!!!" says his mum, "It's your bloody fault we moved to
Liverpool in the first place!"

any city that names their airport after someone who abused their family is obviously gonna be a shit hole. dont think anyone can argue with the joke

Makes you wonder why Manchester's airport used to be called Ringway.

City of Liverpool is actually ok, if you live here. There's just certain parts of the city which are fucked up like any other place. Yes, I am born and bred from Liverpool.

p.s. I found the joke rather funny, but I am used to jokes like this.
