Arsenal game 17th June.

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Any idea which platform the City v Arse game will be on?

Is the game being played at Piccadilly Station?

So Liverpool get to play arguably their most difficult 2 fixtures at neutral venues, having already played City & Everton at home ? Integrity of the game , lol.

Without VAR he powers at be still think liverpool might blow their lead so help them by moving the Everton and City games. You really couldnt make it up !

Well it obviously affects them yes. Hence only 5 home wins from 27 German games in empty stadia.

Also, look at team’s home and away form in a usual season with fans and you’ll see a stark difference for just about every team. Of course the fans make a huge difference.

I disagree.

Think about it logically these are the games where they could possibly win the title there would be shed loads of fans turning up but realistically if you put these games on mars the scousers would still be there by the bus load so its nonsense in reality.

They’ve had special treatment by var all season & now they’re getting special treatment again , the police are going to have to deal with lots of matches , why are theirs any different , if the police can’t police their games then cancel em . Proves that as well as money , getting them the title is all that matters , what will all the other clubs say about their special treatment ? Fuck all as usual .

They are different because there is a far higher quota of vile scum supporting them than virtually any other team. That is sadly why. And the further away from Merseyside these games are the more cars their fans will have to nick to drive there. (Although it is still utter bollocks I agree)

Yet more simplistic thinking.

Tiny sample size of games played since the restart renders any stats pretty meaningless. As sure as god made little apples home wins will revert towards the mean as more games are played. In a normal season many factors account for the difference between home and away form - rest, routine, familiarity of surroundings giving psychological benefits etc etc.

Fans like to believe they make a difference and they probably do but it’s a very small difference.

Fucking bollocks. But it’s you, the brand new fart in the lift that is Bluemoon.

If fans didn’t make a difference then they’d be no difference between home and away form for every club. As for a small sample size, we’ve got 130 years worth of data on that point across all the major leagues.

You really think a different looking dressing gown has more effect than 50,000 fans cheering you on? Fuck me, if you told me it was sunny out, I’d take an umbrella outside with me.

We’ll see the results of the studies on the major leagues playing without fans and I’m sure there will be many thesis’s and articles written on the subject.
