Will anyone shout louder than Rick?

Never mind the football, whose fans will make the most noise during Sunday's Carling Cup final?

Cardiff Council is monitoring the sound levels from the Liverpool and Chelsea ends to determine who has their shouting boots on.

Cup Sponsorship Manager Sam Ward said: "We're looking forward to a winning performance from the players and the fans and the loudest ever final staged at the Millennium Stadium."

But will it be the 'Cockneys' or the Scousers who win the day? We analyse their chances.

They see themselves as...the Kings of cool, a diamond-encrusted juggernaut with a divine right to steamroll their way through the Premiership while playing an exquisite brand of one-touch football.

Everyone else sees them as...Harry Enfield's disagreeable 'Loadsamoney' character, decidely dull and a bankruptcy case waiting to happen (hopefully).

Most famous song: "Ten men went to mow, went to mow a meadow, 10 men and their dog, Spot, went to mow a meadow."

A typical Chelsea fan

Most famous retort: "Ten men went to lift, went to lift Frank Lampard, ten men and their dumper truck went to lift Frank Lampard."

Second most famous song: "We'll keep the blue flag flying high."

Second most famous retort: "We'll stick the blue flag up your a***!"

Most amusing Chelsea song: (When Frank Leboeuf informed fans he'd rather they didn't use bad language in their tribute to him):
"He's here, he's there, we're not allowed to swear - Frank Leboeuf, Frank Leboeuf."

Like to see themselves as...still the world's best football team, despite not winning the European Cup for 21 years, cheeky, chirpy, loveable.

Everyone else sees them as...an average Premiership team who have not won the European Cup for 21 years and are currently only the second best side in Liverpool.

Most famous song: "Walk on...walk on - you'll never walk alone."

Calm down, they're not going!

Most famous retort: "Sign on, sign on - You'll never get a job" (met with ironic rounds of applause from Liverpool fans).

Second most famous song: "Liiiiiii-ver-pool, Liiiiiii-ver-pool!"

Second most famous retort: "Liiiiii-ver-pool, won **** all!"

Most amusing Liverpool song: (to West Ham fans):
"You've got Di Canio/We've got your stereos."

Second most amusing Liverpool song: "Don't blame it on the Biscan, Don't blame it on the Hamann, Don't blame it on the Finnan, Blame it on Traore. He just can't, He just can't, He just can't control his feet."
