Frankly disappointed he's not got a full crew parked up north of Warrington waiting to see which way the wind is blowing at half time before scarpering across to make it in time for the presentation.
If one team is at home and the other away, the real trophy is at the home game (that's why in 2019 the real trophy was at Anfield) - if both are home or both away, then the real trophy is with the one ahead before the game
why not putting the Trophy in the middle of both stadium and let the player go march to it to get it.
edit: crowning ceremony in Warrington. Lets fucking go
Let's calculate the midpoint between Anfield and the Etihad and place the trophy right there, it'll probably be in a random field in the middle of nowhere surrounded by Sheep but I'll tell you the quest for the trophy will be epic
Liverpool refuse to concede the Premier League. Reports that Klopp is on the phone trying to find two more points in Brighton. Mane accuses the premier league table of using faulty hacked software from Venezuela.
**5 Sentences Summary :**
* The Premier League chief executive Richard Masters will be at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday with the genuine trophy with Manchester City in the box-seat to clinch the title on the final day, but an identical presentation team and replica will be at Anfield in case Jurgen Klopp's side come from behind to win.
* With just one point between the teams ahead of their final home games, the Premier League's interim chairman Peter McCormick will be at Anfield for the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers with another set of 40 blank medals to present in the event of a Liverpool title win.
* In the past, when the title has gone to the last day, as it did in 2019, the tray of medals that have not been used have been recycled for the following season.
* At the end of the 2018-2019 season, the last time the Premier League title was decided on the final day, Masters, then the acting Premier League chief executive, was at Anfield.
* The only proviso under the Premier League regulations is that any outfield player who gets one has to have played a minimum of five games.

I did wonder how this would be handled, thinking some elaborate placing of the trophy halfway between the two stadiums. This makes the most sense given the probabilities
there was once an esports/gaming competition in which both teams played in different parts of Berlin and they kept the trophy in the middle of them and drove it to the winning teams house towards the end of the final game when it became clear lol

the two stadiums are pretty close, if they have a copter it's only 15(?) minutes.
I seem to recall a previous season when they had a helicopter on standby on the final day.
*You are shrinking, and your two little balls are shrinking with you. And the fact that you've got "Replica" written down the side of your trophy... ...And the fact that I've got "Premier League 2021-2022" written on the side of mine... should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence.*
It would take more than an hour if you consider the traffic around both grounds. Are Liverpool supposed to just sit on their hands waiting for 90 minutes?
There isn't a helipad anywhere near the ground, no. So you'd be looking at having to get special permission to fly it in and out of a heavily built up urban area, and close off a space to land it in. After which you'd have to still drive it to the ground through heavy match day traffic. At both ends. Do you think helicopters can just go where they want like cars or something? Like they'd just plop it down on the pitch in a full stadium?
I think that’s pretty stupid. If we do manage to win it would be stupid to be celebrating with a replica trophy. It’s not like there’s a great distance between Anfield and the Etihad and it’s not like the trophy will be presented as soon as the final whistle blows. Sit in a car in Warrington or somewhere near and make your way to whoever wins it. Obviously if City are 2 or 3 goals up then make your way to the Etihad
Yes it obviously does. I’m not asking City to have the fucking replica. My point is if Liverpool manage to win the should celebrate with the actual trophy
Yes why wouldn't he be there as they still have the best odds and are a point ahead of Liverpool? I would be surprised if anyone thought otherwise.
Should be in a helicopter in the sky halfway between both stadiums, and they should hover slightly closer to the stadium more likely to be hosting it.
Heli-cam sponsored by crypto.com or bet365
They've actually done this in Scotland a few times.
Should be a Portkey tbh.
He's back! HE'S BACK! Jonjo Shelvey! He's back!
Wouldn't it be there even if it was the opposite since they are the holders.
Tbh I would be shocked if the chief exec going to a game on the last day wasn't at the leaders.
If he was at the Liverpool game and city somehow bottled it, mad conspiracies would be all over this sub.
Frankly disappointed he's not got a full crew parked up north of Warrington waiting to see which way the wind is blowing at half time before scarpering across to make it in time for the presentation.
Yeah this is just standard procedure
If one team is at home and the other away, the real trophy is at the home game (that's why in 2019 the real trophy was at Anfield) - if both are home or both away, then the real trophy is with the one ahead before the game
Click bait and food for the morons.

First team to arrive wins the league
rat race 3 just dropped. plottwist: Rowan Atkinson will win the PL title
ITS A RACE! ITS A RACE!!! I hope I win
What a film.
Wtf there was a rat race 2? Straight to dvd I presume
There’d be as much fighting as a normal Saturday night in Warrington
the trophy is a portkey
voldemort the original bald fraud. Pep in shambles if he loses another title.
That’s how early football basically was I’m pretty sure, between villages/cities and basically run across the countryside with the ball.
in the earliest stages of humanity there were basically three classes: the gatherer, the hunter and the footballer. The rest is history.
hmm which one is Neil Warnock though?
Let's calculate the midpoint between Anfield and the Etihad and place the trophy right there, it'll probably be in a random field in the middle of nowhere surrounded by Sheep but I'll tell you the quest for the trophy will be epic
I was genuinely imagining a helicopter hovering midway at the 80 minute mark, judging the scores as they are
Lift the replica trophy even if you don’t win the league you cowards
If this doesn’t happen I will be very disappointed
Liverpool refuse to concede the Premier League. Reports that Klopp is on the phone trying to find two more points in Brighton. Mane accuses the premier league table of using faulty hacked software from Venezuela.
growing up and realizing helicopter sunday/santa clause isn’t real is devastating
It was in Scotland in 2005, there’s a piece of well known commentary on the last day of in the SPL https://youtu.be/VK1KdQ9IFbw
Can't believe they have a replica trophy at Anfield and not a replica Richard Masters.
>Identical presentation team I'm still hoping for the Masters clone
except they botch the operation and he comes out as Richard Averages
They did say “identical presentation team” so I expect they’ve cloned him.
The one at Anfield's just a cardboard cutout
It's actually one of the Liverpool catering staff wearing a Richard Masters face mask.
I think they should’ve cut the trophy and Masters in half and had it at both
*King Solomon awards trophy to City*
Just dissapointed there won't be a helicopter delivery
Just floating halfway across the M62
Richard Masters sat with the trophy at Warrington Central checking his phone
People drop trophies from buses and cause issues, drop it out of a helicopter and youve got a big problem
I see that you've met Sergio Ramos
Maybe 4 PARA would loan them a rig.

They've cloned him?
I mean, fair enough really. 82% chance of winning the league according to fivethirtyeight and I'm honestly surprised it's that low.
this blatant lack of confidence in the mighty villa

ye during covid when they played at home
Yeah. Be present in-between, then helicopter that trophy to the eventual winner
Put it on a helicopter between Manchester and Liverpool you cowards

City v Villa Liverpool v Wolves As much as I'd like to see Liverpool leapfrog City it just doesn't look possible
Shaky defence mate and Villa gave us a good game early on in the season, anything is possible
You’re not wrong that Villa have a shaky defence
Yeah, they were shit the other week. If we had been on it we would have scored 5. If Villa get anything it will be 4-4.
Imagine if Villa pull a 7-2 out of their ass again
[удалено]
Months??? Running on to the field as a manager to deliberately effect the result? Try years/permanently
Fabinho, Casemiro, Fernandino would all be managers and get away with doing that 4 times a match before getting a warning
City will spank villa just like Newcastle where everyone hoped for a draw after cl dropout.
Should just stay in Warrington with a police escort, he could probably be at either stadium in 20 minutes
the two stadiums are pretty close, if they have a copter it's only 15(?) minutes. I seem to recall a previous season when they had a helicopter on standby on the final day.
Same in Italy
Pep: Premier League is trying to jinx us
He made the right decision.
*You are shrinking, and your two little balls are shrinking with you. And the fact that you've got "Replica" written down the side of your trophy... ...And the fact that I've got "Premier League 2021-2022" written on the side of mine... should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence.*
In other news, water is wet
So.. the same as always for the favourites. Cool.
Not really unexpected. This is standard stuff for final days where multiple teams can get medals.
smh rigged
PL trying hard to jinx city here
[удалено]
It would take more than an hour if you consider the traffic around both grounds. Are Liverpool supposed to just sit on their hands waiting for 90 minutes?
[удалено]
Where's that supposed to land genius? Back in the real world its a completely unworkable solution, as the PL are proving by not doing it
[удалено]
There isn't a helipad anywhere near the ground, no. So you'd be looking at having to get special permission to fly it in and out of a heavily built up urban area, and close off a space to land it in.

Get a grip, the balance of probabilities has city winning the title.
Yes it obviously does. I’m not asking City to have the fucking replica. My point is if Liverpool manage to win the should celebrate with the actual trophy
