Nothing wrong with what they did, just a shame their keeper never lost his footing at a crucial time during the 2nd half
I would be happy to see Liverpool NOT win the title.
I really don't like them, goes back to primary school days in the middle of Brighton when almost all the boys in my class ' supported '
Liverpool.
If they do win I can just imagine every city, town and village in the south will have Liverpool ' fans ' wandering around that day and the next in their replica shirts. The sort of 'fans' that have never been to Liverpool let alone a match there, but slag off their local club.
Yes I really don't like them.

Hilarious post. But I know proper reds from Liverpool and I'll be happy for them if they win. I have no time for faux anything so I know where you're coming from, though. One good thing about Citeh is they are too 'new' to have too many gobby plastic fans so, yes, its not so bad when they win the league. As for Arsenal, Chelski and especially ManUre, I enjoy every point they drop.
Back to the original post, sweeping half the pitch was infantile. Dropping 2 points serves them right. Leicester have some very good players.

Don’t know what everyone’s moaning about, when I used to play football at Ruckinge the home captain always picked the goal to defend that was covered in sheep shit, so I had to roll around in that for 45 minutes. I never did understand why the sheep only did their business at one end of the pitch though!

I want Liverpool to win the title. My 10 year old daughter, who has significant anger control problems, is a Liverpool fan (don't ask) and if they don't win i fear for my house, and my sanity. It was bad enough last night.

And to think Liverpool complained when West Brom didn't water their pitch ahead of the game against Liverpool last season.

So what? That's a genuine question, rather than me being flippant.
Sure, the press will probably make quite a big thing of it, but that's probably because it IS a big thing. Big club that was dominant ages ago FINALLY wins the big domestic prize. Not got a problem with that angle being taken.
There are ways of avoiding it being 'rammed down our throats by the press, if you're that put out by it. Don't read the articles, don't click on the links, change the channel – whatever it takes...

The thing I find odd with Liverpool supporters is that they expect the rest of football to 'respect' them more than other clubs due to them winning the league a few times 30/40 years ago.
I've got a mate, who is a genuinely lovely bloke, who gets proper narky when I make any sort of joke about his team.

The ground staff got it all wrong.....
They were supposed to push all the snow INTO the Leicester half!
Anyway, it was a bit cheeky and to be fair to Leicester they were pretty decent.

Poor guy, nothing better to do?
Just imagine if all those scousers were always talking about BHA would you mind?
Just imagine if you were really upset about something!

I really like Liverpool fans (and Liverpool the city) and also really don't want Liverpool FC to win the league. It would make me laugh.

I'm sure I read/heard somewhere that when the sprinklers are turned on they must be equal all over the pitch and not to any teams advantage.
On that basis surely removing the snow from one end must contravene some law within the FA somewhere?
Then I got bored and checked the laws. Nothing. Articles about sprinklers being used on certain wings but that is to the advantage of both teams. Still not sure.

I don't get the anti-Liverpool abuse from many on here. The atmosphere at Anfield is much better than the other "big" teams, especially the two Manchester clubs and compared to City they have so many more proper fans than all the glory tourists at City who were not there when they were shit.
It is different, because the shadow is natural, each side has an equal chance with the toss of the coin, and the pitch is unlikely to change on one half drastically between halves. Having just one half of the pitch cleared by groundsmen at half time is just cheating, and shouldn't be allowed.
If - as an outsider - I lived in Liverpool and had a bunch of friends who supported one of the 2 local clubs, I wouldn't begrudge them at all, but as it is I can't stand them. You see it's not the real scousers I have a problem with, it's their legions of armchairs all over the south of England who all justify supporting Liverpool because they did as a kid (when they were winning everything), as if that's some sort of defence. Yeah but some of us grew out of glory hunting by the time they were 11 and some of us never actually did in the first place. And these people always consider themselves football fans but know absolutely nothing outside the comings and goings of the big six.
On balance, I hope Liverpool fck it up. Ideally City for me, but I'd even be happy if Spurs won it if it meant Liverpool didn't.

A different kind of pasty
To be fair, City have always had pretty good crowds, even when they were shit.
