Who doesn't know about the tension between Robertson and Jamie Redknapp during the previous Liverpool vs Manchester City clash at Anfield?
Even if there was no hard evidence, the rumors swirled endlessly—and of course, it all reached Harry Redknapp's ears as well.
Thanks to this drama, tonight's match has captured the attention of East Londoners of all ages. Bars on both sides of the Thames are packed with fans holding cans of beer, eyes glued to overhead TVs, anxiously awaiting kickoff.
On the busy streets, taxi drivers crank up their radios for live commentary. Even white-collar workers stuck in the office over the weekend put on headphones to catch the game. In forgotten corners of the city—dingy pubs, abandoned parking lots, even rundown parks—hundreds of die-hard fans from both clubs are already throwing punches.
