Greetings, Tottenham away and the cold weather.

I guess I should start off with a welcome to the blog! I'll try and make it as interesting as possible and give my view on what's going on in the world of football, Liverpool FC and also current world affairs. Plus there'll be an insight into the not so interesting life that I lead!

Well I suppose the past week hasn't been too bad seeing as I celebrated another birthday and enjoyed a night out with my friends. The next day saw me travel down (without any sleep) to the big smoke to see the reds take on Tottenham and while we lost 2-1 it wasn't a bad day despite the result. A trip down south is normally one us northerners (particularly scousers) look forward to with anticipation, but with a day off work and a few drinks consumed it wasn't too bad I suppose.

As for the match itself, Liverpool were unfortunate not to grab all 3 points but that's what happens when you don't take your chances. On the plus side however, it was probably our best away performance to date and showed what might happen if Roy Hodgson decided to send his team out to attack more often. But in the end, Aaron Lennon's late winner ensured that my first trip to White Hart Lane ended in defeat and if that wasn't enough, then Jamie Carragher's injury, plus Noel Gallagher deciding to draw us away to Man United in the third round of the FA Cup ensured that our Sunday night ended on a low note. But that's football for you I suppose.

On a final note, this cold weather we're currently experiencing. Yes it is a pain and it may require a few extra layers of clothing, but for god's sake is there any need in all the moaning? Countries like Russia experience this in far worser conditions and somehow get on with it. Why can't we? And also, why is it that the country comes to a standstill when a bit of snow and ice hits? Not only do you have football games postponed, but also everyday stuff like parcel deliveries are affected and people can't get to work. We are completely inadequate when it comes to dealing with extreme weather and don't be surprised if we run out of grit soon!

Anyway that's enough ramblings for now. Hope you enjoyed my first blog and any comments are welcome. Until next time!
