Christmas to a footballer is a time of joyful participation in football. Pleasure becomes work when one is given too much in a week, however, and so it is that footballers find Christmas and New Year time rather irksome. However, this being Peace Christmas, we shall doubtless see nothing but good, keen matches, and, as there are local “Derby” games at Goodison Park and Anfield, we may be assured that big crowds will attend and revel in the feast.
Liverpool’s team for to-morrow shows Robertson, the Harrowby boy, at half-back, instead of W. Wadsworth; otherwise there is no change.
