Liverpool - The Derby (ugh)

This will be short and not so sweet. It had all the makings of a great week after the Spurs win, and then today. Moyes chose, what some would say, a questionable side, and, aside from a couple of first half chances, Liverpool dominated. Gerrard bagged a hat trick and Everton were uncharacteristically emotionless, losing 3-0.

The Derby (pronounced Darby) is a rivalry game between two teams residing in the same city. In this case, Anfield and Goodison Park sit just a half mile away, and these two teams have played more times than any other two teams in the Premier League. Other Derbies include Chelsea v Tottenham, Sunderland v Newcastle, and of course Man United v Man City. But the Liverpool Derby rises above them all. Red v Blue, The Haves v The Have Nots, Upper Class v Working Class. This fixture has had more red cards than any other. I just hope we can play one more time at Wembley. On to the FA Cup...Up the Toffees.
