So Utd fans mount a pointless protest at the same time everybody else in sport is mounting another pointless protest.

End result nobody knows what's going on!

In sport? People are now protesting to have a right to protest!

If Utd are unable to host the game, does that result in a 3-0 walkover for the opposition? That would really make the Glazers sell up.....or give City the title and help Liverpool closer to the Champ League spot :lol:

I've muted Sky coverage until I see a football being kicked. Their football wit is too much for me, my two highlights so far:

The sky reporter saying you cant have a game of football without the teams and Micah Richards complaining about a delayed kick off because his champagne is getting cold!

I've heard the Poisson Distribution underestimates the draw, but is it normal to underestimate it to this extent?

It's generally very inaccurate as it assumes independent outcomes. So my advice is to price the draw separately when you model a match and wrap the other stuff around it.

Gary Neville has gone berserk. :-)
He's gone rogue! :)

Not heard so much mention of "peaceful protests" since USA riots. Sky sympathizing with the pitch invaders while NBCSN going to town on them.
Are we witnessing the prelude to a Neville consortium bid for United? Neville is flying close to the edge with his opinions.

Close to the edge of what?? His career isn't MU anymore. He has a high powered job at Sky and his social media presence is growing as is his podcast channel. The people in power at Sky love his persona and forthright views so he can't do no wrong. Yes he cares about the club but his business interests stand to gain simply because of turmoil at Old Trafford similar to AFTV with Arsenal. Going down to speak to the fans and speaking publicly about pay rises for nurses in my view is about him boosting his ratings with the public.

Supporters will argue I'm too cynical and he's merely using his fame to support good causes like Rashford is and if both the cause and the player gain then what's wrong with it. Maybe that's correct but I don't like the manipulative calculative nature of it and it smacks of it.

Game is off.

Just deduct 20 points off United and everyone is happy.

I think dumb and dumber need to take some responsibility for this, Neville and Carragher were calling for fans to mobilise after the news of the super league broke and this is the result.

Good point. Its been called of because of the actions of Utd fans and Utd have made the decision to call the game off.

Award a 3-0 win to Liverpool.

3 points may not be enough, we need about 20 to make sure.

If it were possible I would love for every single person who was on that pitch to be investigated and to find out just how many of them are season ticket holders and how many united games they have been to in the past year prior to lockdown.
