I was fully expecting the BBC Sport Department to go into meltdown if Liverpool won The League this season but this afternoon took the piss. Hansen & Lawrenson were to the fore plus a combination of Souness, Fowler, Murphy and sundry other has-beens. Rent-a-gob for this afternoon was the inimitable Alan Green; has a BBC employee ever made such a piss-poor effort to disguise his bias in the history of the Corporation?
The more sensible of you were probably down the boozer before our match this afternoon but 5Live treated us to Mark Lawrenson's considered analysis of the Liverpool v Chelsea match while I was cooking Sunday lunch. Naturally it was a foregone conclusion. Liverpool have won 11 "on the bounce" and it's inconceivable they could possibly throw it away now. "Blah blah blah ... momentum ...blah blah blah ... history ... blah blah blah ... destiny (I kid you not!)
Jan Molby had been employed to report outside Anfield and naturally he'd never seen anything like it in 30 years as a player and fan. This was history in the making. Unless you were there you couldn't fully comprehend. The streets had been packed since dawn to greet the anointed ones. Fate was on their side; this wasn't a competition, it was a procession.
And I'm not exaggerating. Un-be-fecking-leivable.
So anyway, today's results leave the script in tatters. Win their last 3 matches and City are champions. If we take just a point on Monday that should fvck them up too. They'll be throwing themselves off the roof of Broadcasting House or wherever it is they've relocated to in Salford.
Seriously. They really ought to maintain a semblance of impartiality. It was absolutely outrageous. I'm just glad Barry Davies has retired or he'd probably have had an embolism live on air.
