Derailing United isn’t enough

AS I sauntered past the bookie’s window on Sunday morning the odds displayed were for Liverpool 3, United 1. I thought “make it 250/1 and you’ll still get no takers”.

Oh me of little faith. And so penury continues. Even so you sensed something good could happen since the Saturday had been so rotten. Mutiny at Goodison was silenced by a decent win, their proximity in the table reminding us how close we’d been to relegation ourselves.

ABU proxies Arsenal once again flaunted their yellow streak when push came to shove — and of course there was the Reina interview which read more like a first-draft Dear Juan letter.
