On Saturday, West Ham is playing Liverpool, which will permit me to have an essential new football fan experience: what happens when your  beloved team is playing against the team adored by one of your best friends? Will The Liverpool Fan and I be able to watch it in the same place? Will we throw beer (or in his case, orange juice) at each other in fits of rage? Will he ever invite me over to eat delicious cake and watch Match of the Day ever again? Does it all depend on who wins? I can hardly wait.
