Yet the inhabitants dislike each other with a passion that is visceral. It is a divide that spans generations, across class, gender and ethnicity. And it has grown over the years, largely driven by one thing: football.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dark, malignant loathing shared by the followers of Liverpool and Manchester United has seeped into every aspect of life in the two cities.
