This year, our match with Liverpool and West Brom v Everton are the only ones, and ours is so close to the Liverpool game as to give our players only the tiniest bit of rest. It almost looks planned, as others have theorised. Anyway, especially after Steve Kean's cosy little chat with Taggart the other day, one thing is certain, and that's that we will be kicking off against Sunderland tomorrow three points behind the Rags, and with quite possibly no superiority in the goal difference department. I can also see tomorrow afternoon being a real slog, too, so I hope Mancini uses his substitutions wisely.
By the way, I really do despise Steven Gerrard.
Blackburn is hardly likely to give them a tough game - Kean's off to Taggart's birthday party later, so imagine the atmosphere if he didn't roll over. Be a great party with them all there - Kean, Bruce, Moyes, Pulis, Martinez, Warnock, Jol. Even Wenger got an invite this year
