Torture Saturday

Well it's that time of year again. On Saturday, it's the first Merseyside Derby of the season, at Goodison Park. I HATE the derby, namely because we, Everton, always lose. Liverpool always win, it's inevitable. Liverpool FC is a vile institution which incorporates luck, bribery of referees, cheating, fouling, more luck, better financial expenditure on the team, media favouritism, more luck, ridiculous decisions from referees and governing bodies, yet more luck, and of course, the fact that they have sold their souls to the Cloven Hooved one. Lucifer. They are Legion. Liverpool FC is Satan's XI. And they're better than us too. Which, given the above, does tend to make life a little difficult. Saturday's referee, Graham Poll, has a history of cheating against Everton, not least in derbies, so any chance of an even break from him has gone out of the window. So, I shall be forced to watch on Saturday, with a kind of morbid fascination, the kind where you are watching somebody pull the wings off a fly, even though it revolts you. My prediction for Saturday, is Everton 0 -3 Liver(poll), and we will have at least one man sent off and are on the wrong end of a penalty decision, whether it is one given to the legion of the damned, or one in our favour not awarded. I'll be VERY glad when it's all over anyway.
