Anyone who actually watched last Saturday's lunchtime draw in the Premier League knows that Liverpool's failure to beat West Ham was due to Liverpool's inability to defend crosses into the penalty area and You could be forgiven for thinking it was due to his repeated insistence on shooting outside, over the top, and into the crate. , manager Jurgen Klopp decided to use this morning's press conference to set them straight. The outgoing Liverpool manager climbed onto his soapbox ahead of Sunday's thrilling 15-goal game against Tottenham and headed to the door of TNT Sport, which was broadcasting the game from armchairs and barstools, in east London. He squarely claimed responsibility for the painful draw. British audience.
The German said that after midweek games, his employer and their Premier League rivals occasionally replay games at lunchtime on Saturdays at the behest of the television networks that pay them very high wages for the privilege. It's nothing more than a nice complaint about the fact that you're forced to. About broadcasting these games. This is a deal reached in full agreement with Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, and the latest deal agreed with Sky and TNT, which sees the clubs paying a total of £6.7bn. and, crucially, who will vote to set those guidelines. What broadcasters manipulate when splitting up games for broadcast.
Despite the fact that he would never have to endure the horror of Saturday's lunchtime kick-off again, Klopp lit the fuse, threw another stick of dynamite in TNT's direction, detonated another burst of will – someone — Ranting about the players and the fact that the England team failed to get past the quarter-finals of the Euros or the Big Cup, more or less Lindsay Hipgrave, Peter Crouch, Joe Cole, etc. He also blamed other company officials. . “If there is no English team in the European finals, does that mean we are underperforming?” he asked. “The Premier League is the best in the world, but the players are overworked. Someone needs to help the people. I had a chat with TNT, the TV channel I’ll never watch again. – And they gave us football I said they're paying them to do it, but I don't think so. Football pays them to be part of football again, not just a squeezer. , advice from an old man on a trip.
Klopp has spoken to TNT on several occasions, most notably in 2020 when it operated as BT Sport. In a conversation with eerie touchline correspondent Des Kelly after the disappointing draw against Brighton, the grumpy Klopp blamed the network for his hamstring strain. But Kelly's calm and entirely accurate assertion that the frustration he felt with Liverpool's fixture schedule was being misdirected fell on deaf ears. Despite all its shortcomings, including high subscription fees, a ruthless attitude towards fans at match venues, and a insistence on hiring bland pundits who are clearly biased against the team, TNT is still a big fan of Liverpool's exit from the Euros. Realistically, they cannot be held responsible for the fact that they seceded. A vase perfect for this season. But they are entirely to blame for the fact that only a handful of subscribers with more money than they could reasonably afford were able to witness this weak capitulation on Klopp's part.

I'm one of the lucky readers who has friends who regularly go to watch soccer games. A friend of mine tells the story of how a German fan bought him a drink after a night in Munich, and how his beloved Nuneaton Borough (who is sadly no longer with him) played at Firewall FC's Old Show. He would be happy to entertain me with stories of how he woke up from school to watch him play in the FA Cup. Ground. So when I posted a gallery of images from FSC's new book, At The Match, I thought it would be something he would enjoy, especially since he has a big birthday coming up.
