tarnished in what way?? league suspension due to risk of health or maybe some other rhetoric that suites your biasIt's always going to be a bit tarnished now. Whatever they decide to do. In the record books they'll be an asterisk next to 2020. You might say - it doesn't really count.
Not that I'm prejudiced in any way

WestHam have problems as they don’t own their stadium so any games after the end of May might have to be played elsewhere because other events are planned.

Don't under estimate the worth of 30-odd year old chants.
They are an important part of the fabric of football spectating.
When an elderly Peter Shilton shuffled along the touchline as a guest at one of the last games at Roker Park, the Sunderland fans chanted 'Tina' at him.
That referred to an affair he had with either a club physio or club manager's wife where he was playing at the time.
It was so long ago I can't remember which.
But trust away supporters to never forget.
But the reward is not the same, it can't be, l hope they get the title they deserve.

Who gives a damn about West Ham's problems?
Haven't you been paying attention?
The effect of COVID on Liverpool FC is the only issue.

I'm an Arsenal supporter, so it could be argued that our team isn't likely to be involved in the major 'prizes' on offer in the premiership and likely to see the rest of the FA Cup matches abandoned. As I see it Liverpool are certs to win the Premiership (and fully deserve to) - but to award it to them now and cancel the rest of the season is very unfair on other clubs who still have much to play for, whether it be promotion, avoiding relegation or gaining one of the European cup places.
So somehow the authorities have to come up with a solution which is fair to ALL clubs. This will be very difficult because every club has to play others in the same division twice in a season (obviously). Some will already have faced an opponent twice, some will have played all their 'difficult on paper' matches and others still have a tricky finish to the season ahead of them. So if they don't adopt a 'pools panel' type of solution it follows that the matches will HAVE to be played, or the season abandoned and written off. I can't see any other option without disturbing NEXT season as well.

Hopefully NOT but this situation could run into next season... 🤔
Can you please provide evidence where anybody has stated that this is only a Liverpool issue???Who gives a damn about West Ham's problems?

The effect of COVID on Liverpool FC is the only issue.
im coming it from a Liverpool view, as I am a Liverpool fan, but nowhere have I stated this is only a Liverpool issue.......it’s also an issue for Leeds, West Brom, Coventry and many other clubs.
but most fans in social media ( may not be on CC) are laughing at the fact Liverpool won’t get the title they quite rightly deserve.....as they are miles away from any other club in the premier league.
the only thing they want is cancellation of the league to stop Liverpool winning the title....it’s on Twitter, sky sports links, bbc comments sections.....everywhere
That’s because you don’t have an educated response to give me.....only a bias one

That is what some fans are quoting.....it’s an example. But I’m not stating it’s the only issue

Liverpool are so far ahead of all the also-rans that of course it will be remembered as being different, but there is no way that any rational, open-minded football supporter would think it has been "tarnished"......unless they are an irrational, closed-minded football supporter, and then their opinion wouldn't matter anyway.
