Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [19th - 22nd August 2022]

Steady draw for the mighty reds at Everton, should have won it really but I have never listened to such biased commentary on 5 live in a long long time.
 
I understand Klopp’s frustration at the Utd situation, but I don’t agree that Liverpool should just get the 3 points if it’s called off due to protests. It’s hardly fair on other sides that they get 3 points without even kicking a ball. Those 3 points could be huge at the end. All teams must work for every point they get. It is a tight schedule this season, but I’m sure the fixture could be rearranged somewhere along the line.

I totally agree Rob, we should be allowed to lose those 3 points legitimately.

I can't help but feel like although you probably won't admit it, you think those 3 points for Liverpool could be vital this season in the Liverpool vs Arsenal race for second place :p

The previous fixture was called off after the 'protesters' got into the ground, threw rocks (I believe) at a sky camera man injuring him in the process, attacked the Liverpool bus - luckily it was a dummy bus - Old trafford security couldn't guarantee anyone's safety which is why is got delayed. Despite all that Man U got away scot free with no repercussions - no other club would have. If that all happens again then yes man u should face punishment, forfeiting the game, docking of points and playing games behind closed doors (although that's probably a plus currently for them) should all be on the cards. Protesting is fine, essentially rioting isn't.

Fixture congestion is insane this season, there's no other period when it can be played.

No, I’m thinking more of the usual City v Liverpool title race. Liverpool will find their feet soon, starting Monday. I’m fully expecting us to stutter when we start playing the big 4 and the Europa
 
If this was the first time id be inclined to agree but if they get this game postponed then ofcourse we should get the points. Why should we be punished for opposing fans behaviour?
 
I wonder if the owners are secretly organising the protest so they don't have to watch us get pasted on Monday. 3-0 doesn't seem like a bad score right now. I would take it :p
