It’s like watching matches in different leagues


BIG games often don’t live up to the pre-match hype; they have a tendency to be nervy occasions with teams fearing the consequences of losing. Chelsea–Liverpool on Saturday avoided that trap, it was not only a big game, it was a very, very good one.

I watched three games back-to-back on Saturday night (I know, I work too hard): West Ham vs Manchester United, Arsenal vs Watford, and then Chelsea vs Liverpool.
