NY’s day games are normally boring, tedious affairs. The players are goosed from the mad Chrimbo programme. The crowd is generally totally flat after the same and the Christmas excess. Nobody really wants one. But they are what they are and tradition. As testified by 4 really dull, monotonous sounding draws yesterday evening the PL. But man alive, L’pool-Leeds was exceptionally abysmal. Both managers, all 22 players and all the subs, and the disgrace in black the middle, served up one of the worst games I’ve attended in what must be over a decade. And L’pool didn’t even have the excuse of being on their last legs through the Christmas programme as the games have been well spaced out!
All on what was a baltic cold night. Should have known what was in store when their was a 20 minute or so wait the boozer at half 12 as the gas wasn’t coming through for the Guinness. Followed by the absolute farce going in of some steward swiping everyone, and no sound on his wand. Only for a head steward to come over and ask if it was working. ‘Yeah mate’ as he let more through. ‘Let’s have a look’ ….. only to discover he hadn’t even turned it on!

Just compounding the unnecessary. box ticking nonsense that is this farce. You couldn’t make it up …… ‘Everyone back out! Turns out this bleep never even powered up his tools!’ Let’s do you again!’



Every game through this 8 game run there’s been positives to take as things turn and this ship is righted. Save for both CH’s being rock solid and Leeds being no scoring threat, I’m struggling to take anything positive out of that garbage last night. Against a promoted side. At Anfield.
Absolutely abysmal start to the NY.
Onto Fulham and a mad travel week to London. The joys.
Up Arne’s Reds.
