EXCUSE me for pilfering the title of the 1996 film ‘Things to do in Denver when you’re Dead’ but just in case any inspiration is needed, here’s ‘Things to do in Merseyside when Liverpool are in a cup final’.
Fill your boots.
1) Obviously avoiding all but the Bluest of alehouses may be a wise choice, so why not stay in and take up home brewing?
2) Go to church. Go on, you know it’ll make your mum happy and you can always pray that the Toffees get to Wembley themselves in May.
3) Go to Martin Mere. There’s more than 100 types of rare and endangered water birds to get up close to and not one of the Liver variety.
4) Spend your evening listening to The Drums in the 02 academy. A little soothing West Coast guitar pop, instead of the infernal cacophony of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ ring tones and ‘Ring of Fire’ chants which will echo through the city streets.
5) Suddenly develop a fierce interest in Six Nations rugby and when people ask if you saw the match, reply that: “Scotland at Murrayfield are always a real prospect and Andy Robinson played a blinder by picking Graeme Morrison at inside-centre and moving Sean Lamont to the No 13 slot”.
