If this happens, Liverpool will win the league with more points than Utd’s treble winners and more wins than Arsenal’s invincible’s. Despite playing 9 games fewer. Shove that up your asterisk.
Liverpool set to be awarded Premier League title amid coronavirus chaos.
Options include a 22-team Premier League next season, possibly dovetailing with the winter World Cup.

The shifting of the goalposts when it comes to Liverpool's achievements is remarkable.
"Klopp hasn't won a trophy with Liverpool yet"
*wins CL*
"yeah but Liverpool haven't won the PL"
*wins PL*
"yeah but they haven't won 3 in a row"

"I will call them a great team when they win three title's in a row..."

believes Liverpool must prove they can do it year after year before people start comparing them to the 'greats'

The music in a lot of drinking establishments is TOO LOUD. If you are not a nightclub, or if you are a bar without a dance floor, there is absolutely no reason to have your music at a volume that makes conversation impossible.
What is the most boomer complaint you have? Mine is I think people take their dogs too many places for my taste and also I think everyone should be more punctual.
Earlier, I saw someone call Paula Radcliffe ‘the J.K. Rowling of jogging’, which is right up there with the best things I’ve seen on this platform tbh.
FULL STEAM AHEAD: London's Woolwich Ferry performed donuts on the River Thames in support of health care workers on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic.
You know how fans of The Smiths had to separate the art from the artist with regards to Morrissey? It’s been the case for a while but we need to separate Gerrard’s footballing career from Gerrard the man.
🚨Steven Gerrard:
“I think when the GOAT, as we call him, arrived in January, it was a huge deal, and he still has a lot to offer in football. After the arrival of Cristiano the popularity of the league increased & all the big players moved to Saudi.”
Vidic discourse is funny, because we’re not talking about some CB from the 80’s who your dad insists was world class. Like, we’ve seen him play with our own eyes. We watched him at the same time as you. Ferdinand was better. Sol Campbell was better. VVD is definitely better.
I've decided that I don't have the bottle for a title race. I want to be cryogenically frozen and woken up in mid May. Just let me know if we've won it or not.
One thing I'll say about Liverpool is they don't fuck about when things go wrong. That statement if spot on. Why should they take an apology and move on. The stakes are high and those officiating need holding to account.
Not sure reactively signing a 36 year old on £500k a week because you thought he *might* be going to your local rivals is the sign of a particularly well thought out transfer strategy, lads. Still, at least the last signing they made to 'get one over' Man City worked out fine...
🚨 Al-Ittihad set to make concrete bid to sign Fabinho from Liverpool for £40m. Expected to develop fast one way or other. Key issue for

I’m only half joking when I say that anyone using the term ‘field tilt’ in a casual conversation about football should be issued with a fixed penalty notice.
Kloop has been caught red handed! Pretty clear this was an elaborate plot to play this tie at a slightly more inconvenient date with the exact same players at his disposal.

You know when Frank Grimes loses his mind and goes on a massive rant because no one else can see that Homer is an idiot? That's how I feel every time I see someone say Trent is a defensive liability before suggesting Kyle Walker as a viable alternative in the same sentence.
Premier League obtained written assurances last year that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund was not part of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital's takeover at

The FA, Premier League, EFL and women’s professional game, together with the PFA and LMA are committed to finding ways of resuming the 2019/20 football season as soon as it is safe and possible to do so
Full statement:
Brighton CEO Paul Barber mentioned his wife is a Liverpool fan. As they say Happy wife, happy life! All jokes aside Brighton is a brilliantly run club. They are going to sign more gems soon. I love their system.
City quietly spending over €230m after winning a treble. Adding the fella who repeatedly ran through our midfield at will on the opening day. While we're sat here wondering who we're gonna get on loan.

I know who that is. My question is how on earth would they know him as the brain behind Team GB cycling at the Olympics given that they were probably born around that time.
Idea: give Lawro the final say on all VAR decisions, to be given with a full explanation. Imagine him telling the biggest egos in world football to "stop being a big girls blouse" or that they've "dislocated a shoelace"
It is imperative that any adulation for a fairly routine long pass under no pressure is stomped out immediately. We allowed this kind of praise to go unchecked for Paul Scholes and now he’s hailed as ‘one of the best midfielders of all time’.
Apparently Liverpool could be giving a kid born in 2002 his debut tonight.
I know team selection isn’t down to me, but I have serious concerns about playing a 6 year old in the first XI.
Idea for a TV programme- Bakeoff, but featuring shithouse footballers. Get Sergio Ramos, Luis Suarez and Diego Costa in the tent and watch events unfold. The levels of sabotage would be through the roof.
Leeds will either be genuinely good, or implode and have 12 points after 19 games. Whatever happens, it will be pure, unadulterated Barclays. And I, for one, cannot wait.
“We didn’t bottle it, we simply surrendered a 5 point lead at a crucial stage of the season by dropping points from winning positions twice in two games and drawing at home to the worst team in the league”
Can’t say I see much convincing in the claim that Arsenal bottled it. If you really believe it you have to convince yourself that this young team who finished 5th last year was comparable with the Premier League’s great teams. Anything else & there’s no shame being caught by City
