Back to the future for Kenny and Fergie

AS we all know, there’s nothing Liverpool fans like doing more than blaming others for their misfortunes — something that Howard Webb will have been chuckling about this week, no doubt.

Now that they have finally got what they have apparently wanted for the past few years — King Kenny back on the throne — one does wonder who they’ll finger for the scapegoat treatment when he royally cocks up. United-supporting refs? Chelsea fans? The South Yorkshire Police?

Oops. If you are offended by the sly allusions to Heysel and Hillsborough there, I do apologise. That was still Sunday talking, a day when all of us at both ends of the Canal had a propensity to lose our sense of decorum, as is our wont on such occasions. In fact, the aggro count was somewhat diminished this year, with Scousers happier to take their rage out on the innocent toilet fittings in the Scoreboard End. (We’ll be mounting a full enquiry, and then banning standing in the urinals.)
