TERRACE TALK: Liverpool - Sakho lucky not to be taken to cleaners by Kane

Boxing’s got the right idea. When the contest is clearly over, throw the towel in and let the vanquished go home to lick their wounds.

I was watching Villa-Chelsea before our game and thought “what IS the point of all this?” The broadcaster actually called it “the battle of fallen idols” just to rub everyone’s nose in it.

Not that Liverpool fans can get snarky; that was a very close match with Spurs, who in turn got pummelled good style by Dortmund, so do the math as our US friends say.
