The PL is being used by the politicians to distract us. Right or wrong?
Let the commoners see their sports, and they'll be too busy to notice us.
It feels more political than it should be...

After the protests over the weekend I expect Liverpool fans will take to the streets once the league is won and combine it with political statements so the Merseyside police can't arrest anybody again......

It’s ok everyone.

The mayor of Liverpool is happy they fans will listen and is now happy that the potential *title wining game can be played at Anfield.

What’s even more comforting is that the Merseyside Police are also ok with this.

Apparently - they have all agreed that the fans are going to respect the idea of staying at home and not gathering.

That famous scouse humour

Bread and circuses.....

As it turns out I don’t think it’s political, I think it’s purely financial. Football returning has nothing to do with sport, fairness or integrity. It is solely to finish the season, mitigate any potential legal battles and rake in as much TV money as possible

So why is Everton v li'pool being played at a neutral ground then ?

Yesterday you said i was "mad" if i believed the released figures about those footballers testing positive.
If so the premier league have lied to the public, the government, NHS, the media.....

I wanted to be clear, is that what you said, and do you still stand by that assertion, or have you recovered.?

We are football fans

In tory eyes football fans = hooligan scum

I was thinking as well, if we are to ever play the 2nd leg of the Real Madrid CL game, under Priti Vacants rules, the Madrid squad will have to isolate for 14 days on arrival into the uk, unless I have missed a clause saying football teams are exempt. If we win that game then if we leave the country then surely our squad will have to isolate for 14 days on return from a subsequent away leg in the next round. Then if we get to the final and fans are allowed to attend everyone had best book a long time off work because you will have to isolate for 14 days on return or risk a huge fine.

Its the perfect excuse for those notoriously fair minded UEFA officials to move the final to whoever lines their pockets with the most gold, Qatar for instance or irony of ironies Wuhan in China.

good points.

I think once Liverpool win the league The season is over inc all cups

At the end of the day the politicians will be judged by the body count at the end of all this

I hope they do. It will cement what I think is a travesty. The PL are going to be culpable for all of the mass gatherings that will result.
