Hola. Hope you are well.
As the girlfriend is away, I thought I would do what any guy in my situation would do and get the laptop out and do my football blog.
I also thought I would get my blog in before the Liverpool vs Man Utd game (tomorrow), although I doubt there’ll be many talking points in this game. In all seriousness I do hope the Liverpool fans don’t let themselves down by targeting Patrice Evra. Ever since this draw took place, people have speculated as to whether anything could be done to diffuse any potential aggro between both sets of fans. Maybe the Liverpool players can wear T-shirts with Evra’s picture on them, to counteract the ones they wore with Suarez face. It does seem, those T-shirts have been the most talked about item of clothing in football, since the Liverpool players wore ‘those’ cream suits.
Talking of which, since Liverpool went through to the Carling Cup Final on Wednesday night, media outlets keep mentioning how Liverpool have not been to Wembley since 1996. I’m not sure why they keep mentioning this as it is a little bit of a skewed fact, as they have been to domestic cup finals since then but played them at Cardiff’s Millennium stadium because WEMBLEY WAS SHUT! It was nice however to see the Liverpool fans a lot more happy at this home draw, than the ones against Norwich, Swansea, Stoke et al…
I watched the semi-final in my local pub and during the game, probably prompted by one of his many saves, a (cockney) Man Utd fan asked me if, “Hart was the England keeper”. They’re so knowledgeable those Man Utd fans.
Prior to the game, I read an article in which Gareth Barry said he was put off a move to Liverpool, because during a pre-season game he heard the Liverpool fans singing “You can stick Gareth Barry up your arse”. That’s good to know, because some cynics (not me of course) thought he moved to Man City, rather than Liverpool because they offered him a shed load more money.
That’s me done for this blog post, I can only take so much fun on a Friday night, plus I’ve got to go and see if I can open a trust fund for my dog.
Til next time. stay safe!
