Wigan 1 - Liverpool 1

Wigan v Liverpool
Venue: JJB Stadium Date: Wednesday, 28 January Kick-off: 1945 GMT

So yet another draw - and you get help get the feeling that out title chances are slipping away.
Seven of our last 10 league games have been drawn.

That is not good enough! Whilst we are only two points behind having played a game more, you have to feel Man U will win that to make it 5 (in effect 6 with goal difference).

Its almost as if all our luck at the start of the season is catching up with us. Also whilst what he said was true, since Rafa made his comments about Sir Alex and Manchester United we have not won a match.

We are just not seeing off teams e.g. getting the second goal. If you analyse the games we get a goal and then concede in the last ten minutes after a series of substitutions. This game was no different though I suspect Rafa took Torres off because he was not fully fit and tired. Why he too Gerrard off though no one knows!

The next month will tell us a lot about the team and the manager. I cannot see where Keane fits into the starting xi leaving us reliant as ever on Gerrard and Torres who doesn't seem fit.

Next game at home to Chelsea - who have overtaken us in second.

MP's expenses

Well we won - see here for an article that I wrote for Our Kingdom. This was the right thing to do and only increases my admiration for Cameron.

The full page advert we and Enoughs Enough put in the newspapers was incredibly effective. If you have not seen it see it here .

Overall a good week at work!

Apologies to my avid readers

Ok - so my New Year Resolution is if i'm going to do this blog i had better do it properly.

Apologies for long gap btw posts. Christmas/New Year/No internet access/Chicken Pox amd them forgetting my passwords have meant that I have not posted for a while.

So much has changed since I have last written - reading my last post about the cricket makes me cringe. And dont get me started on England...

Well ok I will get started on cricket, football and my beloved liverpool and not to mention politics eg MP expenses, police entering parliament again and the latest accusations of sleeze, but this time in the Lords and with Labour peers!

So Happy New Year and carry on reading
