Right, what's the theme for tomorrow then? Zebras again, majestic gazelles, the musky warthog? Maybe a full lion king street performance? I don't think they'll protest anyway, at least not beyond a few banners and nursery rhymes before, during and after the game where they'll call the glazers for not spending whilst simultaneously talking up Casemiro and pretending Maguire, Ronaldo and Sancho didn't happen.
But if the match did get called off, surely there'd have to be punishment for United as it would be wholly irresponsible to let a clubs fans constantly dictate a fixture schedule. I'd prefer they have to play the match behind closed doors in that case, otherwise it would give Liverpool an edge with more rest time, but I think there would have to be a very strong case for a fine and points deduction.
If they'd only acted last time with a suspended points deduction, then there'd be no threat of a protest now, the police wouldn't need additional plans and cost savings and safety would be promoted. Instead they have this weak threat which just undermines the league's authority.
Although I would love seeing them on minus ten points, I think that same United pressure internally within the corridors of the fa and premier league means it's not a possibility. It ensures they'd have a bottom half finish and lose revenues.
But for Liverpool, make them play it. Can't legitimately win the league having played 37 games. No wonder Klopp loves the idea.
