Liverpool fans will take any chance to get one over Manchester United.

But they probably didn't expect X-Factor star Stevi Ritchie to do it for them.

Singing at the Football Blogging Awards (FBAs) last night (watch Empire of the Kop video above), Ritchie belted out a version of You'll Never Walk Alone - much to the delight of the Reds fans in the crowd.

It didn't go down well with the United fans at the event, many of whom then conducted what was later described as "the slowest storm out in history".

Ritchie is more famous for his stints on the X-Factor and Celebrity Big Brother than his football allegiances, but his rendition of Liverpool's anthem will no doubt go down well with Reds fans.

And to make matters even better for Liverpool - the Reds cleaned up at Old Trafford, with fansites The Anfield Wrap, Empire of the Kop and Anfield HQ all picking up wins.

The Anfield Wrap scooped the Best Podcast for the first time, Empire of the Kop won Best Social Football Account and Anfield HQ picked up Best Football Club Blog.

John Gibbons, from the Anfield Wrap, spoke to Ritchie before he took to the stage and said subsequent events were just hilarious.

"I saw Stevi Ritchie in the toilet before and he said 'you'll never guess what they've asked me to sing?' He was absolutely bricking it. He got up in a white suit and there were about 40 of us Liverpool supporters up singing along with him.

"The United group were on the table next to us and then conducted the slowest walk out I've ever seen. They were grabbing their coats, looking for their bags and arranging where to meet later because not all of them were walking out! I'm not sure if they had already lost out in their category.

"I don't think it helped that there were Liverpool fans on the next table to them standing up and singing along. I said well done to Stevi after, for getting through it, but I think he said it was the worst thing he'd ever done.

"It's the first time we've won Best Podcast at the FBAs so we're all made up."

After their walk out members of United Stand posted a video live from outside Old Trafford (watch from two minutes in).

They told their viewers: “The Football Blogging Awards at Old Trafford and I've had to listen to someone sing You'll Never Walk Alone.

“Well I didn't listen to it because we all walked out.

“Every single Liverpool account was on their feet for Stevi Ritchie singing You'll Never Walk Alone inside Old Trafford – it's an absolute disgrace. It's not a Man United awards show but it's disrespectful.

“You don't turn up to Old Trafford and sing You'll Never Walk Alone.

“It's the biggest victory they'll have this decade at Old Trafford."

Think they took that quite badly didn't they?
