Joe goes to Anfield

Oh how we roared as Titus rocketed Steeevvvvieeee Geeeee's weak clearance into the back of the net. Our first point against the so-called Big Four, a funereal Anfield and the beard going daft on the touchline as they struggled with one man up front.

Steeevvvvieeee Geeeee was hitting his aimless passes to nobody in particular, Harry Kewell is plain shite and that Mascherano is up there with Phil Thompson as the biggest whinging Liverpool player ever. Ourselves? Well inspite of the one lapse (for Torres' goal) the defence and midfield played superbly.

Arriving home to Sky Sports News describing our "defensive tactics frustrating Liverpool" was so wide of the mark it was laughable. Just remind me which team played with two men upfront and who in Luis Antonio Valencia had the outstanding attacking player on the field?

They are supposed to be "reclaiming the Kop" but on this show there is no hope. Now I know they like their minute silence's in Liverpool but stretching it to 90 minutes is pushing it. Our two-man kop made more noise belting out "You're just a fat Spanish waiter" - a Bolton song but hey - than they mustered all night.

Out on the pitch this was the sixth time that Steve Bruce has faced Liverpool as a manager in the Premier League and six times he has avoided defeat. He did it this time by simply keeping to a rigid 4-4-2 line-up and getting all his players working for each other. Are you watching Jewell - you clueless idiot!

After Titus' goal the final ten minutes were negotiated fairly comfortably. The whistle went and for the first time all night the Liverpool fans found their voices to boo the team off the pitch. We celebrated wildly, grabbed a lift and kept our heads down as we made our way across Stanley Park avoiding the scousers armed - not with their friend Stanley but with - torches!!!! Oh how times change.

Next up in the league - is away at Liverpool's Number One fan's new club. We should win easily but we know he will have them fired up. By then we may have a couple of new players in or even more surprisingly we may have not sold anybody, but don't hold your breath on the latter. Whatever it will be a reet humdinger. We are out of the bottom three and the aim is now to keep out of it!

Interesting times are ahead
