Ok, I didn't even bother considering there would be Friday night games on the penultimate matchday of the season. Why do they do this? I don't know David Kogan, but if you do, tell him to regulate this sort of stuff when he starts his new role.
Last week - low scoring stuff if I'm honest. A Season Low in fact, coming on the tails of an all time high. It's a bit like the Christmas period - unpredictable when focus isn't 100% on each game. That's my read anyway.
For example, Southampton keeping a clean sheet vs Man City. Nobody had that. People having Man City bitch about stuff - probably 100% predicted but that's not on my form. Ipswich equally rubbish. Only Leicester emerge with any credit from the relegated teams.
The Moyesiah did his thing - imagine being worried about Everton going down now, with other away wins for Brighton at Wolves, Villa at Bournemouth and for both opponents of the worst Europa league finalists in history. Newcastle's home win against Chelsea the only home win of the week incredibly.
Finally, to Anfield. A party was pooed on by the partiers. 2-0 in the sunshine, and not only did they drop the points, but they lost their heads, booing their (best ever?) youth product - the man who's won everything at the club and played a vital role in that side. And then the subsequent defence of this....
I consume a fair amount of football media. It's often an education in how rubbish most media is. How sensationalist, how shallow and how herd-like they are. Deep knowledge from club-specific experts tallies with your own eyes and beliefs far more often than the clickbait nonsense from Talksport and Sky Sports. HOWEVER, in this one instance, I think the Liverpool isolationism (from media, friends etc) is wrong. Sometimes - fans get it wrong (my lot and Eboue for example) and the maelstrom of emotion takes behaviour too far. This was one of those times in my opinion.
