After the usual mad week of build up and a lifetime of text skitting back and forth, the biggest day of the year is finally here for the second time this season and all the tension can be released.
I thought I was getting to the point where it didn't tie me up in knots but that's just deluding myself. You can't be in this City and NOT let it effect yer. You grow up with Blues. Work with them. Socialise with them. In a City where footie is the all-consuming passion, this week is off the charts mad. Culminating in the best day of the year. Derby day on Merseyside. At least I slept well last night which never used to be the case haha.
Can't see anything other than a L'pool win. Everton always put WAY too much on the only thing they have. Beating L'pool. And the pressure inevitably tells and the inevitably **** out most every Derby. Last year's complete and utter annihilation, when they literally 'never touched the ball'; is the story of their recent lives. Hopefully they get ahead of themselves and come to play footie. Everytime they do that they get a doing. I'd love a good, kick seven shades of the preverbal scrap but with that imbocile Taylor in charge, if that happened **** knows how many more names would be added to the most red carded fixture in PL history.
There's the nagging fear that as ***** as Everton are, made even worse by the injuries, this run of no win at Anfield since 1999 and no win of any description in a Derby since 2010 has to end sooner or later. But then it's the Derby. Where bitter arses always go and heroic men in Red (seemingly) always prevail.
In these sanitised times of the modern game, this ones old school. And this one matters! And as we remember Mr Liverpool, a man who absolutely personified everything this City adheres to, today feels like it matters more than most.
Jürgen to go 3 for 3 in the Derby and L'pool to lick the Blues 2 or 3.
But I'll MORE than settle for what happened December again and the best way to a win a football match EVER! When Sadio and Shaky canceled the Blues Chrimbo!

Up the 'do it for Bugsy' Reds!
