Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

[ADT]

When you go online to look up the score it doesn't say Aston Villa 5-0 Liverpool Toddlers it's just Aston Villa 5-0 Liverpool and that'll do me

BBC.......
Watching from the Liverpool's team hotel in Doha, Jurgen Klopp is sure to have been impressed
lol lol

 

[ste d' indica]

The BBC live text is almost exclusively about Liverpool's brave youngsters. Almost nothing about Villa. Disgraceful but typical

I noticed that. Self titled socialist club goes out to a tin pot minnow battering in 'kin Qatar of all places, has a little moan about the human rights abuses, still takes part though. Solely for the money Lebowski, throws the league cup in the process, disrespects a fellow league club and their fans, deprives their own matchgoing fans of seeing the first team, and then that gurning knobhead will soon be moaning about the fixture pile up. And reading the BBC page is like following LFCTV, not even a question raised.

"Against modern football...." "dem oil clubs" "media hates us."

They're barely a football club now, tourist trap corporate entity.

Big Dunc gets slaughtered for embarrassing a young lad but the rs get praised for embarrassing 11 young kids.

 

[Toast]

Why do people want them to lose tomorrow? Surely better to lose in the final. Remember watching Flamengo batter them in1981. Brilliant stuff.

Wow.

I can't remember what I was doing yesterday..

 

[Benedict]

Are sky tv for real I cannot believe what I'm seeing here.

They treated Aston Villa like dog muck.

 

[gonetomorrow]

This game is getting more publicity than the boring world club championship.

9 of those RS players featured in the U23 team that played Spurs 2 weeks ago.

Spurs won 4-0.

Villa should be embarrassed ;-)

Why wasn’t klopp there I thought clubs got in trouble for that type of stuff?

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

Love the ever-so-objective BBC's head on the line feed -- Aston Villa score four against the youngest team in Liverpool's history. Whose decision was it to field said team? Hmmm.

Surely the kids would have had a better chance against that absolute dross they'll be man handling in the desert...

 

[Blueclouds]

Did klopp need to take the whole first team away. Why not leave a few back for example Milner and co

I suspect the owners see winning the Club World Cup as a marquee event and a PR marvel, whereas the League Cup doesn’t have the same grandeur.

Must be money at the root of it.

I know their games clash a bit with the tournament but personally think they should have been made to mix up the teams, Klopp should have had to be there last night & they should be fined.

We all know they won’t.

During their initial discussion, I have the feeling that the FA and EFL have pretty much agreed to Liverpool’s approach because of the ‘bigger picture’.

Like you say, they should be fined - that’s the minimum - and sanctions put on them, but they won’t. I suspect Arsenal fans will be quite aggrieved.
