If I can't remember when Everton is on in the asterisk part of the season, then I'm not going to bother about any other team's fixtures either.
An underwhelming end for them. In years to come this celebration is going to become a well used meme for celebrating when no one was there or cared just to take the Sammy Lee's fave drink out of whoever is celebrating.
My only concern is the behaviour of the kult and that they don't run rampage again. I fear a second celebratory night of mayhem. And they'll still want a third official celebration. Do you know what - even they'll start to see how ridiculous it is by then, surely.

Cheer up - I'd like to say its just a game but it's worse than that. 30 years ago it was bad because they won the league. Today they've won nothing, they're just beneficiaries of the Sky scriptwriters' pen and its influence over the authorities. Could've been anyone. There's no glory in football anymore.
My thoughts exactly - premiership is the new WWF - right back (and probably further) to juiced Leicester's underdog tale - scripted with the sole purpose of getting more tv coin from far flung tele clapping corners of the world.

What? They won it a month ago?
Chelsea won it for them a month ago.
This is completely right. Make no mistake, there are a lot of them hurting at the moment because this was not how it was meant to be. It was meant to be a glorious afternoon in May, a full stadium, all of the legends in tow, winning it whilst playing, an open-top bus tour and a night out in Concert Square.
Instead, they have to wait another three-and-a-half months during which people completely lose their appetite for football as they see thousands dying and fear job losses. Everyday life changes for everyone in this time. They then win it on a Thursday night whilst not playing, all the pubs are shut and they are encouraged to go home. They then blow the 100 points having been walloped by City and losing at Arsenal. They have to wait another few weeks to lift the trophy but it's in an empty stadium. They're paying £1m to put on the show for absolutely nobody. Imagine Sydney Harbour new year celebrations with nobody there. This was not how they imagined it. They were always going to break the drought one day but when they did we could not have wished for better circumstances. The only team to lift the PL trophy in an empty stadium. Winning it in 2014 or 2019 would have been far, far worse.
Think they're starting to worry they've become irrelevant again:

Jürgen Klopp: Liverpool's title is one of the big stories in football history
Liverpool will receive the Premier League trophy on Wednesday and Jürgen Klopp says this title is a ‘special’ one everyone will remember

In 10 years time this season will be known as the Covid season, and the one where VAR was brought in and almost broke the game.
No-one will give a flying one about the actual outcome, and they know that. Hence the embarrassing over-compensation.

Klopp has fully bought into the cult. It stopped being special when the world was paralysed by COVID-19. They blew the 100 points last week so it won't eclipse every other title win.
Don't care about it already myself.

Forget what? The season that became an irrelevance? Without doubt they were the most effective team up until the asterisk. They'd just started wobbling though with a number of losses and out of all competitions bar the league. As @Amw79 just mentioned above, Covid and VAR are bigger stories. The potential destruction of FFP after Man City's challenge may be the most important thing to come out of this season and be the only thing remembered.Think they're starting to worry they've become irrelevant again:

Indeed. Couple of my good mates are season ticket holders and go home and away with the RS, spend a fortune going round Europe, and I actually have a bit of genuine sympathy for them as they’re gutted by how it’s turned out.
The Telly clappers, together with the infested red media, are desperate to pretend that all is normal, and that this season hasn’t been horrifically tainted, and limped to the most boring conclusion ever known.
....just been out and more window flags going up, expecting fireworks and singing tonight then hopefully it dies down.
