In Case You Missed It...apparently the Premier League isn't big enough for Liverpool. *points below*

(The Guardian) Preamble
Hello and welcome to live coverage of Jurgen Klopp being interviewed at Elland Road. Let’s be honest, that’s why we’re all here. We’re going to stick around for the post-interview entertainment, too, an association football match between Leeds and Liverpool. It’s an important game for Liverpool, who need to finish one of the top four divisions if they are to qualify for next season’s European Super League. Can they do it?

Kick off 8pm for the football, 7pm for the TV coverage, in which Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville demonstrate their full vocal range.


...in case you wondered where I stand on this supposed "European Super League"...well, now you know.

(The Guardian) “Klopp quitting is exactly the scenario I’ve been imagining,” says Matt Dony. “He’s previously dismissed the idea of a breakaway league, so it’s not the world’s biggest stretch. That kind of principled stance would absolutely wipe out any memories of the struggles of this season. I’m terrified of losing him from Liverpool, (and rationally I am fully aware that it’s a tremendously unlikely outcome; nothing more than a sad fan romanticising a horrible situation), but should events unfold like that, I don’t know what could possibly top it.

“In the big picture, it already feels like it’s gone too far. I don’t know how to fix the rifts that have already developed. Maybe there already isn’t a way to fix them. But I’m sad. I’m sad it’s finally come to this. I’m sad that the millions (and millions) of voices of fans aren’t being listened to. I’m sad that football makes itself so hard to love.”

I can’t see how this gets resolved. It’s shocking but not surprising; let’s be honest, football has been going down the swanny for decades. It’s been happening in plain sight. There is one very small upside, though: we will never again have to watch Barcelona, Manchester United, Liverpool and the rest preaching from atop the moral high ground.

....enough said. (If you've followed the sports news for the past 24 hours or so, you'll know why.)

(The Guardian) The time in the UK is 6.59pm. We’re one minute away from Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville going off on a monumental one, live on Sky Sports.
