The Merseyside Derby

The main event of the day was of course the Merseyside derby. We arrived to the bar around 45 mins before kick off and asked if they would be showing Everton v Liverpool, which they said they would be. Only to discover come kick off that they could only show the Man Utd game!

We therefore moved on to another nearby bar which had multiple screens including one for the derby.

Me and Dan both had Branthwaite 1-0 at 425/1 for combined winnings of around £2,500 do were delighted when he put Everton ahead in the first half. The game was over when Calvert Lewin nodded in from a corner in the second half. Dan didn't care than his 2 grand was gone, he just wanted Everton to be safe and Liverpool to be done for!

At full time Dan was in a buoyant mood, as was the rest of the group on his behalf. He then proceeded to face time and call everyone on Merseyside until his phone died. What a win!

We were also given free food provided that they could take photographs of us eating it so it was a win all around!Read more
