ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[ItwasJustBanter]

Everton have confirmed that they’re giving Liverpool a guard of honour if they do it. Wow.

 

[kenada_blue]

Hope Le Ev be the bigger man here and show our neighbours the respect they’ve earned, we’ll be providing a guard of honour to a team that will have amassed the most points and wins ever.

We more likely will. End of the day, we're not like them and have more respect.

Although, I still think they'll take their eye off the ball sooner than later.

 

[hallamblue]

I think chelsea did it for united and the other way round. Barcelona did it for real Madrid aswell.

Easy to be magnanimous whne you know you're going to win the league yourself in the next year or 2. They can gtf, no guard of honour for the rs, unless they give up 3 years of European qualification and demand that we go into the Champions League to make up for breaking up our best ever team.

The title won’t be won at goodison mark my words, CA won’t allow it and neither will a angry goodison park!

 

[the golden visionary]

It's not the Kop.

The old kop wash, they'd go the match stinking of piss and leave stink8ng of piss

 

[duncs pigeon]

Be interesting as to what the PL do when presenting them with the trophy. Historically on the last game of the season, so will be at Newcastle away for them.

 

[Yarrgh]

The only response to the rs is pull our act together and get into them regardless of how many points they are ahead. Take their invincible tag away from them. We need to be thinking about knocking them off their perch. We shouldn't have left it to United the first time round.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Kick off how, it's over in 30 seconds and then the game starts, it's more embarrassment then anything. Barca Madrid is much bigger and nothing happened there.

I don't think you have a choice, buy it's unlikely it will happen anyhow

Barca and Madrid, two of the biggest and most successful clubs in the world, probably massive mutual respect between the two of them.

The RS, the most deluded, self - righteous, self proclaiming best fans in the world would love us to do a guard of honour so they could just rub our noses in it and whether it's 30 seconds of embarrassment or not, the atmosphere is toxic enough as it is. Also, isn't a guard of honour supposed to be about showing respect for what someone has achieved, why would we want to do that?

Now I'm not arsed either way, and if I knew it was going too happen I would just get into the game late.

So, if I’ve got the maths right, I feel a bit better about the whole situation and I don’t think a guard of honour is actually likely for the derby.

The permutations are as follows (based on Liverpool winning their next 4 games pre-Derby vs Norwich, West Ham, Watford and B’mouth)

If City get 8 points from West Ham (H), Leicester (a), Man Utd (a) and Burnley (h) then Liverpool can win the league with a win in the derby. BUT, no guard of honour before kick off.

If City get MORE than 8 points from those games, then it’s not possible for Liverpool to have wrapped the league up either at or before the derby. So 3 wins and we’re sound.

If City get LESS than 8 points from those games, then they’ll be champions before kick off at Goodison and a guard of honour will be a talking point.

Essentially, for the nightmare scenario to take place, they’d still need City to drop points in TWO of those 4 games. Obviously you’d look at the away games vs United and Leicester as tricky ones for them.

As inconsistent as City have been, and even with their eyes clearly on the CL games with Madrid, I can’t see them dropping points in two of those games.

The rs will throw a couple of points if it meant they were champions at Goodison.

Can anyone spot the difference?

It looks like we've just won the league.

Exactly do you think barca wanted to do that, but they had to embarrassing but they also got respect for doing it

 

[GwladysPhil]

I'd accept a guard of honour but sadly, they're not the type to take it gracefully.

You just know one of their players like Robinson will do something to ruin it. Which they would think is hilarious.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Think the big difference there is that it was at the Bernabeu.. totally different prospect with it being at Goodison.

Arsenal gave united one at the Emirates.
If we said no we would be the first team ever to do so. Negative headlines for the wrong reasons.
anyhow, as I said it's unlikely they will win it by then

Mate first you said Chelsea-Man Utd now you're saying Arsenal-Man Utd... those aren't Everton-Liverpool at Goodison ffs so stop comparing them.
