It's just footy, there used to be a lad at work who was a Pool fan, top bloke, but we used to go out of our way to slate each other if Pool or UTD lost on the weekend. It's part of it. Shame he left, 18 titles would have been some serious ammo. And I took some unreal stick through the 80's by the Liverpool Prawn Eater brigade (Yes, Prawn butties aren't a new invention) so it's what goes around comes around.
It's not personal to Liverpool people (well not with me) you can't beat a scouse accent on a lass (again, maybe just me

)
