Gerrard celebrates his wonder goal, from a free kick 4 minutes from time

All I ever write about on this site is football.   I wish I had more of a life at the moment, that would give me something remotely interesting to say.  But, work right now is all encompassing, putting a strain on all areas of my life.  Working 12 hours a day, 7 days week is slowly driving me insane.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel - mid September.  If I can just get there.

Anyway, the little ray of sunshine in my life which is the Premiership, began again on Saturday - and it did not disappoint.   Liverpool did, for the first time in years, hit the ground running. 

At first, it appeared to be turninng into the same old story when Villa got awarded a late, and dubious, penalty.  Melberg put it away, but Liverpool just wouldn’t roll over and die.  The difference between this and Sheffield United match at the beginning of last season was significant. The last five minutes were played as if we wouldn’t, couldn’t lose.  Gerrard stepped up for a last minute free kick 25 yards out, and put it in the postage stamp.  Destiny.  Our time is nigh.

Prediction: If we beat Chelsea on sunday, we will go on to win the league.  Top by Christmas, and never looking back.
