Today is a big day on the sporting calendar!!

First up, my beloved Liverpool take on Everton in the HUGE merseyside derby. This is always a MASSIVE game with the huge rivalry and today is no exception. Its really important for us because after such a strong start to the season, we have been really poor recently and have performed miserably. A loss today could really destroy our season..but a win would put us right back on track and boost the confidence of everybody! I cant wait. These are the games where you see the passion of the EPL, and i wouldnt be surprised if we see a red card as frustation sets in and tempers flare! Stevie G hasnt really found form yet this season so lets hope today is the day he gets back to his best! For everton, Mikel Arteta has been excellent for them this season and will play an important part in the midfield battle where the game could be won or lost today. The bookies have us as favourites, and rightfully so, but on derby days like these form goes out the window and the pride of merseyside is at stake! YNWA!

And if that wasnt enough to get me excited for the weekend, its RUGBY WORLD CUP FINAL time!!! The springboks are up against the english, and will be looking for the same result they got in the group stages, a 36-0 South African victory. Im sure it will be a lot closer than that, but i am still confident that the boks can win this game fairly comfortably. As long as they play as well as they have been in this tournament, they are cleary the better side, and should be too strong for the valiant english who are a bit of a surprise finalist. Bryan Habana is equal with Jonah Lomu's record of tries scored in a world cup, and he will be looking to break that record with another try today. For the English, hope will rest once again on the shoulders (well, boot) of Johnny Wilkinson. It will be a tough game in the forwards, with two of the best packs in the world, and the team that is able to gain the advantage at the breakdowns, will make it extremely difficult for the opposition.
Damn its a mouth-watering thought...the build-up is already getting to me. I just want the games to start! Hopefully this time 2mrw i will be celebrating a Liverpool and Springbok victory!! COME ON BOYS!!!
