Bolton 2 Liverpool 3

It will be a bit of a sparse (non-existent) match report today as I’ve not seen any of the match, not heard any if it on the radio and I didn’t even follow it on the Internet.

I’ve been at Wembley today to watch Warrington win rubgy league’s Challenge Cup. The Wembley experience was great, apart from the lack of signal during the match, which meant (for once) I had no link to the outside world.

As the rubgy reached full time I began to get a bit frantic at my lack of football updates. I eventually got a belated text from a mate saying that the score was nil nil, but I didn’t know what time it was sent. I tried in vain to find the score and was eventually put out of my misery, on the train, by overhearing a drunken loudmouth complaining about ‘lucky Liverpool’. It’s better to be lucky than good, as the old saying goes.

The facts I know about the match are these: Johnson, Torres and Gerrard scored for Liverpool. Bolton led twice. Bolton had a man sent off harshly, which changed the game. Gerrard scored a late winner.

What more do you need to know?

This match was all about picking up a win for the Reds and that’s what we got.
