Media won't call it out as they will lose their access to the PL.
Not saying they're not a brilliant team and deserve to be top but they're definitely getting some help.

I'm not denying any of that may be true, but think you've missed my point.
It's obvious from any sport (rugby is a good example) that players play to the ref. If the ref is lenient, they push harder.
Liverpool appear to be being reffed very leniently, and therefore players push the limits further.
None of that means that the players/club are involved in any corruption, other than as beneficiaries. They don't need to be involved to benefit - fixing a match in most team sports by bribing the ref does not require any player involvement.

In addition to all the afore mentioned fouls that went unpunished, the D.Mail picked up one I hadn't spotted. Close to the end, Moise Kean is just about to shoot when Hertz van Rental screams in his ear trying to put him off. "Engaging in the dark arts of defending are not beneath him"

Yes just read that, guess it's not against the rules just like pretending not to take a corner than quickly taking it. Shouting at forward dont think I have ever seen that in kids or Sunday league games ! Guess anything goes in the premiership..
I don't care or mind yelling thing. Nothing wrong with that, every bit helps, screw gentlemanship. The main problem is they have that article to praise his cleverness while not a single word written about penalty incident or stamping and elbowing situations.
We have been conditioned early and often that the scouse ****s will have very little go against them VAR wise. That will not change and by the time the end of the season rolls around, if we don't overhaul them, despite the aide, what they have done will be seen as the greatest football achievement ever. Press will make sure of that.
Still think we'll turn it around tho.
