Now known as the theatre of memes.

Liverpool's Premier League trip to Leicester City on Boxing Day has been moved to an 20:00 GMT kick-off so it can be televised by Amazon.
The change is part of Amazon's plans to broadcast fixtures for the first time, with the American media company showing all 10 games on 26 and 27 December.
They will also broadcast midweek games on 3, 4 and 5 December.
The announcement of festive TV games has already been delayed by six days, leading to criticism from fans groups.
Liverpool supporters group Spirit of Shankly said a game that late on Boxing Day would be "awful all round" because of transport complications, as trains do not run between the two cities that day.
On the pitch, Liverpool will benefit from the best part of 24 hours' extra rest before their next game, when compared with the festive schedule of likely title rivals Manchester City.
After facing Leicester, Jurgen Klopp's team host Wolves on 29 December at 16:30 GMT - a gap of 68 hours and 30 minutes.
City travel to play Wolves at 19:45 GMT on Friday 27 December before hosting Sheffield United on Sunday, 29 December at 18:00 GMT - a gap of 46 hours and 15 minutes.
Other Boxing Day fixtures to have their kick-off times moved for Amazon coverage include Tottenham's home match against Brighton, which will start at 12:30 GMT, and Newcastle's trip to Manchester United for a 17:30 GMT kick-off.
Other notable televised fixtures over Christmas include Burnley hosting Manchester United on Saturday, 28 December at 19:45 GMT - a game to be broadcast by BT Sport.
BT will also show Arsenal's game against Ole Gunnar's Solskjaer's team at the Emirates on New Years' Day at 20:00 GMT, and Liverpool's home game against Sheffield United at the same time on Thursday, 2 January.

Great. We'll get our asses whipped live on TV twice over the festive period.

I'm sure Moshiri and Co. have pencilled them in as expected losses anyway....

 

[Ciao]

This is absolutely horrendous. Really doubt the integrity of the league now. City has every right to be frustrated.

It’s a conspiracy I tell you, the PL bosses want this shower to win it I kidd you not.

This is absolutely horrendous. Really doubt the integrity of the league now. City has every right to be frustrated.

It just shows yet again that the powers that be most definitely want Liverpool to win the title. It is just so obvious now. It's no longer even subtle. The PL need Liverpool (or United) to win the title to keep the financial gravy train running. Still, I believe that they will at some stage, hit a sticky patch and start to stutter.

Likely to be in Dec/early Jan, as despite favourable scheduling around Christmas, potentially 2 matches over the other side of the world mid-Dec may well take their toll.

Agree pal it’s a fix and will be until they win it.
