"Massive game at Stamford Bridge tonight as two of the top teams in The Premier League go head to head"

That would be Chelsea who are 11th and Liverpool 8th.

You'd never guess this was the game Sky are showing live would you?

Not surprised me Sly would say this, they usually reserve this type of turd polishing for the two red arsecheeks.

It's advertising, they want to sell as many subs and NowTV day passes as possible. It's not really unexpected is it, BT do the same.

Correct, you can't polish a turd but when it comes to the two entitled arsecheeks the media will do what whatever it takes to try and keep them relevant no matter what.

Don't know why they're showing it, completely inconsequential game in the run in. Far more at stake in the Leeds and Forest game, you'd think they'd show that.

Anything other than confronting the scoreline.

 

[Eds]

Heysel has managed to establish itself and become weaponised since 1985 (not 1986) for two principal reasons.

Firstly, Liverpool’s (club and supporters) subsequent inability to take responsibility or treat it solemnly enough: continued blame of extraneous, tenuous (at best) factors; refusal to refer to it in honest terms (‘collapsing wall’); lack of respect for its anniversary (in stark contrast with that for Hillsborough). They want to reshape the narrative, and extinguish the actual cause from history, and they shouldn’t be allowed to, which your approach would surely aid and abet (not talking specifically about ‘murderers’ references, but more generally).

Secondly, given their developing predilection for being unable to accept responsibility and blame for events in recent years, Heysel is the apotheosis of this, and provides the best platform to expose this trait to comical effect: Chelsea fans, Belgian skinheads, Juventus fans.

So , when you think about it, in actual fact, the rise in references to Heysel, are ultimately the fault of Liverpool fans…

The juxtaposition that they refuse to even play a game on the Hillsborough anniversary yet are happy to have a trophy parade on the Heysel one is frankly staggering. I don't recall any media outlets even questioning it and for that they will always be scum in many people's eyes.

Yeah but they've got no fans.

Did come out with this bollocks though;

Julian Alvarez (Manchester City)​

No Erling Haaland or Phil Foden were on show but neither player's absence seem to make a scrap of difference to Julian Alvarez or Manchester City's refusal to give up the title chase. The Argentine may lack Haaland's stature, pace and power but there was no shortage of desire and ability to put a dent into Liverpool's ego. In fact I would argue that City look a better all-round team without Haaland in the side.


He should be asking himself how many goals we would have scored with Haaland playing.
