Walking on, through this awful storm

NO, you weren’t hallucinating. That was Tony Pulis complimenting Liverpool on their “grarrrrft” – and it wasn’t even the most depressing moment of the week.

I was right not to gloat about United’s ignominious cup exit, especially when we get two cracks at it and still emerge befuddled.

It made all the complaints about transfer funds look slightly cracked. Character, organisation, work-rate; all free the last time I checked.
