HUMBLE PIE
While their march towards the title has looked fairly serene and been declared by many as a foregone conclusion, Liverpool’s efforts to shake off Arsenal increasingly resemble those of a drunk pub patron trying to get rid of a rogue length of toilet paper that has become stuck to the sole of their shoe after a visit to the gents. Having gone to Bournemouth and taken care of business in a match their own manager suggested could have gone either way but for a couple of iffy decisions, a tight offside and some better finishing from the home side, Liverpool managed to put more distance between themselves and their nearest rivals, only to glance in the rear-view mirror last night to see the green and goofy face of Gunnersaurus looming large.
