Sunday is a game where 99.99% of fans that love the game will want a Liverpool win. That does not happen very often at all!
City are cheats, its now proven and their punishment needs to be extreme. They have built what they have on lies and cheating. The atmosphere sunday will be volatile to say the least. There cannot be a single second of let up in the noise, the booing and the chanting.
Sadly though I feel City will win. Isak and Gakpo both out and injured is not good news. Leaves us a little short on options. The city players will thrive in the hate I think, and if they score they will definitely celebrate with some kind of raining money celebration.

The announcement that City had been cooking the books was hardly a surprise.
Teams and fans have known for years and it actually shows how awful the Fa or Premier League are that it took a whistle blower to alert them to it that they had falsified up to 900 million.
The powers have be have either been sat there like Stevie wonder or they were very much apart of it and allowing it.
Same as clubs who didn't seem to mind when city were paying over inflated prices for their players.
Hopefully Liverpool do their talking on the pitch on Sunday but let's not kid ourselves into thinking this isn't our hardest game of the season to date.

Let's not underestimate our team. Yes they are not the Klopp era but we are Liverpool and we are unbeaten. We've produced big results in tough circumstances before. Our crowd will be loud and hopefully carry us to victory. Ynwa!

The Refs in England need investigating
Bias & Corrupt.

Think the refs will favour city's opponents more often now so to not look like they on the take too.

I've always been of that opinion JK, corruption knows no bounds and money talks. I'm no accountant, but I just can't fathom how somebody could get away with inflating income by nearly a billion pounds and get away with it for 10 years when there's supposed to be stringent scrutiny over accounting. I mean, either the League's version of APT checks consists of a WhatsApp conversation along the lines of:
PL: Are you lads doing everything by the books? MC: Yes
PL: You sure? MC: Absolutely."
.or they've been greased up more times than Boy George's back passage.

It's our hardest game by a mile, JK. All that matters is 3 pts. No good being a fantastic atmosphere if we don't win.

Chewy agree mate. It always made me laugh when City had a squad of 2 top class world renowned players for every position and their wage bill was still supposedly less than other clubs who didn't even have 1 top class player for every position ?.

I'm no financial expert but I think to be fair if they are only checking back statements of clubs its quite easy to get away with as it would only show who's paid the money in, all they had to do would be to pass the money to the sponsor for the sponser to then pay the full amount.
It would need a change in how they check sponsorship deals in the future.
I did find it funny that in there defense they have admitted their guilt though, by saying the extra money come from from a different group to the one being suggested which is still against the rules. There only hope is getting the hacked emails thrown out. Could be wrong but I believe that can only happen if the Premier League was behind the hack.
Also interesting to see what happens with Etihad and their plans to go public as they would have to disclose all their finances which would then prove for sure of the cheating and would leave them open to a lot more problems worldwide due to what they told the USA.
One thing I find strange all this talk of city being stripped of tittles no one seemed to mention the same for chelsea's cheating which to me was equally as bad.

Difference is Arleseyred, is that Chelsea self reported and handed over thousands of pages of evidence against them and admitted liability straight away. Whereas City have obfuscated, lied and attempted to use legal proceedings to slow and stop the investigation at every juncture, they refused to hand over evidence and lied throughout. That's the difference.

I understand that Viktor but doesn't change the fact they cheated also, how many of those players signed may have went elsewhere if not for illegal payments. To me the titles are also tainted same way as City's.
Allowing the titles to remain is basically saying its okay to cheat, that should have been and should always be 1 punishment no matter what the circumstances if coopersting or self reporting that's carried out I have no issue with the other punishments being suspended although it should have been more extreme punishment in chelseas case, even if only suspended still just to set an example for future references.
If you think of what city have done and put new owners in and they self reported like chelsea did I'm sure there would be more of an outrage if they only really got a 10 million fine.
Everton have been the hardest hit through breaching the rules then anybody and even got Burnley suing them for something which in reality was the leagues fault for not tacking action sooner then they did. No one can honestly say Everton benefitted more through their case then chelsea did yet Everton have been done 3 times for the 1 offences. Chelsea over 70. No logic to that regardless of chelsea self reporting.
Out of principle alone more should have been done, and more made out of it.
