The Premier League Gives Liverpool a Hospital Pass

Liverpool are suggesting that they were in a difficult position and no win one. Liverpool know full well that the desire of the fans is for it not to be played. And so what's essentially happened is the club has gone. They've thrown the fans under the bus because they know what's going to come. You can't talk over me, Harry. You're on mute. The absence of something is not a story. The presence of something is. So if they hadn't played the anthem, it's very difficult for newspapers to make that a thing. It could be a really, really special afternoon, but hopefully still plenty to be played for.
