Monday

Right, well, that's one-nil to Everton then.

The match reports said it all as have all the post-match comments. Despite my pre-match concerns, we were boss, at no point outclassed by a side trying to win the title for the first time in a lifetime. I think all but one of our bench, plus Victor Anichebe, were not even born the last time Liverpool won the title. And I think one of the commentator types told us at some point that our entire squad cost the equivalent of Torres plus a couple of boxes of San Miguel. Says it all. I don't understand the attitude Benitez takes in the Premier League. He seems to think he can put out reserves or rest players against teams he feels are beneath Liverpool's standing. Bizarre stuff. Works in the Not-Many-Champions League where over 50 per cent of the teams in it are mince, but not in the weekly grind of the Premier League. They've blown it. Again.

Anyway, I'm delighted. More of the same on Sunday would be marvellous. But then so would a date with Duffy and we can't have it all.
