The irony of the winter break. Klopp whined constantly about his poor dears being mentally & physically tortured due to all the football they were playing without a break, so they finally bring one in. Liverpool seem to have the opposite effect getting knocked out of their cups & losing their unbeaten record. If they had carried on as normal might have actually already won the league. Serves the whinger right.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

I don't see your point. Winter breaks are useful for the players. I don't get how Liverpool shitting the bed is relevant. They would've done it regardless, you can only win so many matches in a row before you hit a patch of bad form.
Or we might have lost more games and key players get injured. Taking a break can arguably affect momentum but there is no doubt it’s better for the players physically. When the PL and FA get it organised better (hopefully for a week or two longer) in the future teams and even fans will think “why the feck weren’t we doing this earlier”. It could even become Utd’s equivalent of the back pass rule.
Carabao and numerous broadcasters who've paid to show the games around the world would immediately sue the EFL. I'd say the chances of scrapping the League Cup are about the same as coronavirus suddenly vanishing tonight.
He's the real life version of Tim nice but dim.
Fecking clueless tool.
This is done. Season over.
He lives in some bubble.
It is over , Premier League just putting it off for now, there is no way this season will continue.
I need someone to explain the appeal of Michael Owen to me.
This guy has the charm of a genital wart, offers absolutely zero insight on football and nobody likes him. Why is he a pundit?
And Liverpool, he won a league with United and you make him a club ambassador. Why?
There's no way any club should be allowed to be the Premier League 2019-20-21 champions. It's ridiculous.
Void the season for the good of humanity.
And also because of the coronavirus crisis.

I think, like Chris Sutton for example, it's cos people react to what they say and that gets viewers. There is plenty of times he's said stuff on BT and it goes viral within a few minutes.
The possibility of losing out on the title has infected their brains, ex-players and current alike.
Taking the massive measure of closing schools, but yeah some blokes kicking a ball around will be back at the end of April.
What a bloody, thoroughly nice bloke...
The FA needs to stop putting arbitrary dates on its return. It’s leading to people being blasè about the situation. They should either shut up until they 100% have a date that they 100% know they can stick to or void it
No idea what the situation in the PL is but in the Bundesliga actually about a third of all teams in the first and second division might have to declare bankruptcy if the season isn't finished, and they lose the TV-Deal money. Without the that money I'm not even sure we would end the season without sinking into crippling levels of debt. It's all good not wanting Liverpool to win the league, but we have to be careful this doesn't backfire.
It's not a choice is it? No one is choosing for the season to be over, its the last thing anyone wants, but this whole football business is so tiny and insignificant when we're talking about so many people dying.
I had to click on that Micheal Owen tweet to make sure it was real, and then to see whether it was still up. It's both.
Wow
Wow
I hope there will be plenty of support from top 10% of professional footballers through donation. Any money to the economy, and relevant authorities will help.
Well the Bundesliga plans to finish the season without visitors, which is at least something that will keep a lot of the clubs afloat. Of course there is still a risk with a group of 22 players on the pitch and in the dressing room but it's probably on a level that is manageable for most clubs. I could see the PL opt for something similar if the survival of some clubs is at stake.
You are right but nothing that involves billions of pounds is insignificant, we’ve gone through two world wars and football has been a constant before and after.
I was wondering whether or not to post something, but that Owen tweet did it for me.
I’m in the thick of it here, have been for some weeks. We’re losing about 400 a day nationwide. My neighbour just lost his grandfather, my colleague lost her grandfather too, and now her mum’s been put in hospital. These people are dying alone. Without comfort. And the people they are leaving behind are unable to say goodbye. My kids haven’t stepped out of the house for 6 weeks and they are suffering too. We don’t know if we’ll still have jobs when this is finally over, but honestly our careers don’t feel so important anymore.
I know this is a football forum, but I think it’s context worth considering for both United and Liverpool supporters.
Football is getting more and more irrelevant. The arguments that were going on between Inter and Juve fans are just not heard anymore, no one cares. We are too busy consoling each other.

After that long off they’d need a preseason too.
Borris said we will turn the tide after 12 weeks. This time line by the Premier league is ridiculous
The promise of the vaccine will be enough for Liverpool to get the PL League after 30 years and that's all they're interested in.
The promise not the actual which will prevent Covid.
This is not Solidarity in the fight against covid - it's pure and blatant 'Let's push more for Liverpool to be handed the PL League' - disgusting!
Exactly.
What an utter cnut.
Only good thing Owen did was score that extra time goal against City.
Well. Well. Well.
So the FA have came to the same logical conclusion that I have. The only option in regards to resolving this season is to finish it at some point.
Any of the fans on here who've been saying otherwise for the past week care to say anything now?
This applies to the football league as well, so its not just aimed at helping Liverpool win the title. Its the only logical option.
I genuinely can't believe the bitterness and small time behavior on here over the past week or so. I've grown up watching brilliant United teams win the treble in 99, and an incredible team in 08/09. These teams were built by an excellent manager and a combination of youth team players and great signings mixed together to form a world class outfit, all done without billions of oil money, and yet here we are with United fans desperately hoping that the league is voided to deny a team built in the same way as yours were a deserved title. Come on United fans, don't lower yourselves to Everton/City type bitterness.

If everything goes to plan and people do as they're told. Which they won't.
PR exercise.
He isn't well liked by the majority of Liverpool fans! There was a feeling he put England over Liverpool, plus the way he left and then joining United makes him not well thought of by most fans.
The lead scientist just said there is a mountain of evidence to suggest people are taking advice at the moment.
you can't honestly expect your rivals to not piss themselves after a thirty year wait and just two games to go you lost the league to man-flu
