The 51st State (2001)

Corrected entry: When Felix goes home to his mother's house, it's breakfast time, and he's carrying a copy of the Liverpool Echo. As any Scouser will tell you, the Liverpool Echo is an EVENING paper, that hits the streets around 4pm. Was Felix having a very very late breakfast? (01:08:50)

Correction: It could be the previous evening's paper, which can still be available early the following morning.

The 51st State (2001)

Corrected entry: When they arrive at the Manchester pub, the blackboard outside says Manchester Utd v. Liverpool but the match itself is played at Anfield, Liverpool's Home ground. In Britain, the home team is ALWAYS first on the team sheet, no matter where it is written so the match (written the way it was) should have been played at Old Trafford. (00:15:50)

Correction: Theoretically correct, but bear in mind it's a MANCHESTER pub. Mancunians regard Scousers as the sworn enemy, and therefore would not be too keen at seeing Liverpool's name before Man Utd's regardless of where the game is being played.
