IT was interesting to see that Merseyside’s current crop of footballers leave the derby day dislike very much on the pitch.
Some may have been surprised to see Tim Cahill enjoying an afternoon in Madrid with Pepe Reina and Andy Carroll ahead of El Clasico last week, but if anything it proves that even competitors like Cahill and Carroll, who would leave nothing in reserve on the pitch, are mature enough to leave the blood and thunder to two fixtures a season.
But don’t bet against Cahill and Carroll having as much will to win and needle as ever when the two sides meet next season.
