The story is in the telling

Two kids are playing football in a park in Manchester. Suddenly one of them is attacked by a rottweiler which clamps its mouth around the kid's neck.

The other kid, seeing the danger his p al is in, picks up one of the sticks they were using as a goal post, puts it through the dog's collar, and using all his strength twists it until the dogs neck breaks and his friend is saved.

This is all seen by a Manchester Evening News reporter who sees a possible national headline in the incident, and goes over to the kids.

That was really heroic" he says "I can see it now: Heroic United fan risks life to save best friend."

"But I don't follow United" says the kid.

"Ok, how about: Super City Kid fights off rabid rottweiler to save his pal?"

"But I don't follow City either" says the kid.

"Well who do you support?" asks the reporter.

"Liverpool" he says.

"Even better" says the reporter "Scouse b*st*rd murders family pet."
