Who are we to award titles? An incomplete season jeopardises the integrity of the league, no titles, relegations or promotions were awarded during WWI or WWII. Blackpool were top when the 1939 to 1940 season was abandoned and they have never won the league in their 132 year history! If Liverpool get this title that way then Blackpool should get that one!!!!...:)Mate, I really hate them. It's obvious from my posts in the Liverpool thread. I openly questioned their fitness levels, I still wonder whether it's normal to go nearly 2 seasons in top form without rotating your crucial players and without them getting any serious injuries. I think also that the season was bent, only after they got a big lead we started to get favourable decisions.
Still, Khaldoon knows better than us. If he agrees to award them the title, I won't be upset. In times like these there are more important things than Liverpool's title. Maybe it would be better to award them the title than conclude the season and give them the chance to break a few records.
Attempts will be made to finish the season if the possibility exists. Otherwise it will be cancelled and everything declared null and void in a legal sense at least. Whether the dippers would reveive some sort of consolation prize is another story. With Euro 2020 postponed this would allow an extra 3 to 4 weeks to complete fixtures in June but a definitive decision will need to be taken by early April when to restart or not. Despite what manny on this thread seem to think the decision when taken will have little or nothing to do with the consequences for the dippers but rather the consequences for a wide range of other clubs and stakeholders many of whom may have a lot more to lose.If the PL clubs decide consensually the outcome, it's legal. It's as simple as that.
We may hate the dippers as much as we like but better not get absolutely desperate that the PL does not award them the title. It's enough that their season has been seriously flattened and falls short of our two great seasons.

Two.So as it stands at the moment we are the only club guaranteed to end the season - whenever that may be - with a trophy ? Oh and how they laughed at those celebrations - at least we had our hands on something lol

The clamour will grow from the usual suspects to award Liverpool the title. They have already had some scouse bloke in a studio setting saying it has to be done and it is only fair. No it isn't! Two of their nine remaining games are against Everton and ourselves. They could lose them, draw a few and their bottle go. They look tired and leggy. Yes it is a long shot but it is typical arrogance as usual for them to think it would be nailed on.
On this basis, as we are favourites and only three games from winning the fa cup again, will it be awarded to us? You know the answer!
Surely you mean Liverpool* We should all use the correct title from now on.If Liverpool are awarded the title or even actually win it legit it will forever tainted by Premier League favoritism.
