A real nip in the air at Anfield today as Liverpool attempt to expose the chinks in Fulham’s armour. The Reds’ play has been spic and span recently, a real fairytale story as the five -times European Champions sit proudly on top of the Premier League. The league leaders have been handicapped by three goals today by the bookies, with the visitors looking a bit off-coloured, occupying the relegation zone as they are. Martin Jol has appealed to his injury-crippled team to man up but you suspect it’ll be a real finger in the dyke job at the back for them, with Downy on top form on the wing and midfield midget Joe Allen making the bullets like Steve McQueen. The Welshman has been playing out of skin since news broke of Brendan Rodgers’ interest in Sven Bender, while Simon Mignolet’s performances have been reminsicent of Paki Bonner at his best. Hopefully the match will be over by the time I head out for my half-time fag in the company of my good friends Chocolate Rent-boy, former Galway hurling star Joe Coon-ey and former Home and Away star and huge Liverpool fan Gypsy Nash, who will be the Queen of the Kop today. I’ll also be listening on my tranny for the other results.
