singing the blues

The derby"s changed a great deal in my lifetime. It used to be a friendly, and yet fiercely competitive rivalry. Now, there is a nasty element to it, and it"s a bit sad really. There are all sorts of reasons, bitterness towards Liverpool about Heysel, a change in the mentality of "fans" of many clubs (including Liverpool and Everton), maybe even a change in society in general.
I"m also a big rugby league fan. The atmosphere at the grounds is top draw, friendly, never any trouble, mixing in the pubs before and after, families sitting together.
Or should I say WAS. It"s changing, and not for the better. Getting to be like football, and I"ve seen elements of trouble (a very small minority, but there nevertheless). You can still drink at your seat whilst you watch the game, and I"ve never felt "scared" or intimidated at a match. It"d be a shame if rugby league deteriorated any further down this route.
Anyway, back to the weekend. Predictions?

League 2-0..Torres 12mins, Alonso 60mins
Cup 1-0..Torres 78min Everton 10men 86mins
I want 3pts more than the cup win. Wrong?
