While their march towards the title has looked fairly serene and been declared by many as a foregone conclusion, Liverpool?s efforts to shake off Arsenal increasingly resemble those of a drunk pub patron trying to get rid of a rogue length of toilet paper that has become stuck to the sole of their shoe after a visit to the gents. Having gone to Bournemouth and taken care of business in a match their own manager suggested could have gone either way but for a couple of iffy decisions, a tight offside and some better finishing from the home side, Liverpool managed to put more distance between themselves and their nearest rivals, only to glance in the rear-view mirror last night to see the green and goofy face of Gunnersaurus looming large.

Ho hum? ? Peter Harris.
During the Villa game, I heard one of the commentators say that ?Boubacar Kamara lacked concentration there?. Can?t argue with that. You always want your Kamara fully focused? ? Darian Boyd.
A regular part of my job involves making powerpoint presentations, and the photo in Friday?s News, Bits and Bobs caught my eye in the worst possible way. What is that horrible font that some poor Uefa marketing intern was handed for Munich 25, and why not make ?Road to? the same font? The whole garish mess looks like something out of a Walt Disney nightmare. Which, now that I think about it and consider the minds behind the whole shebang, could well be the point? ? Daniel Stauss.
