The fact it’s not televised may dampen it down mid-game if it goes badly

I’ll support managers I believe in to the hilt. I can’t really conceive of what would make me stop believing in Howe. It would have to be a total change in his footballing philosophy. Pardew, I turned on in that season we finished 5th as I could see he was an absolute charlatan. Fair play to him for achieving 5th, fair play as well for being a snide wanker who had absolutely no understanding of how to manage players, build a team, coach players, create tactical systems. Howe has clearly evidenced that he’s an elite coach and an incredible man manager. I don’t really see any flaws in him other than his choice to rotate and in-game substitutions being up for debate. Everything else is phenomenal and the reason why we’ll win something with him within the next two years if he’s still here

This has been an awful spectacle for where football is at with technology

The VAR show tonight so far

What an appallingly stupid bit of defending. Not saying it should be a penalty but it could easily have been given

He’s as far away from £50m in ability as you can imagine. If he’d come through at our club he’d be a million miles from playing for England. He’s got a good attitude and he does what he’s told, that’s about as good a comment I can make about him

These are more positive quotes

Worrying

They only want a “fair” competition where the odds are massively stacked in their favour

Who are the PlayStation bros?

Aye, I checked after I posted. They must have gone on some run

Ooof, it just gets worse for them

Can’t read it, is it tripe? When they’re talking about pressure, are they talking about from the board rather than fans?

Hope they’re monitoring a bank account with over £120m in it too

Hope we absolutely go to (Luton) town on these boys

I imagine Liverpool are desperate to free themselves from being unfairly treated by anyone and everyone and willing to put pen to paper on a league where they play themselves 10 times a year and that’s it, so that Klopp doesn’t have to worry about the players being too tired

Would be hilarious if Barca and Real Madrid face further financial sanctions because of this

Can’t wait to see Barca and Real Madrid play each other an additional fourteen times a year. Maybe just kick them out of La Liga and they could up it to Fifty matches against each other per year

The main thing I’d be annoyed about if this ever happened would be Barca squirming off the hook of the financial disaster they created for themselves

Star, gold and blue? Just call it the Pokémon league lads

The political side of football is rank. We all know it’s a hyper capitalist model where greed and money is the only thing that matters to almost all owners and decision makers. Hard to get too upset about this nonsense as I accepted a long time ago that the game was completely fucked off the field

Hope Klopp finds a good anger management course. He’s constantly raging

I can’t believe this purely hypothetical situation I’ve created in my head is on the cards

Howay man, anyone putting him under pressure is an idiot

Eurgh, normally feel really positive about upcoming games but have a bad feeling here
