Football update
Well, last week's match at Stoke City was disappointing to say the least. The Reds played terribly, and came away with only a point after a 0-0 draw. This was followed by Manchester United soundly beating Chelsea and coming within 5 points of Liverpool on the table. Midweek, United beat Wigan to move into second place and 2 points shy of the top spot.
Liverpool doesn't play until Monday, so when Man U go to Bolton this weekend, a win would put them a point above us. So it's going to be a nervy weekend. The Reebok Stadium is never an easy place to go, but Bolton just aren't that good this year. Granted, United has several injury concerns, but they are still a team with great depth and skill. I'll be satisfied with a draw, but I suspect that United will pull out a win. It could all depend on the referee.
Liverpool plays host to Everton on Monday. The Reds beat the Toffees at Goodison Park earlier in the season and I must feel confidant about doing the double on them this year. Last weekend's performance aside, Liverpool have been looking very good, and now with the team pretty much back to full fitness they have to be favored over an Everton that is still struggling with injuries. Everton have been winning games, though, through Arteta and Cahill, so it's going to be a tough one; they're still bitter with the result of the earlier match.
Kick-off for the Liverpool v Everton match is 3pm on Monday. I will be leaving my sanctuary against the cold to watch this at the Brewhouse.
