City 115 - 0 Liverpool, Dubois vs Wardley Preview & Falling Out of Love with F1

City Liverpool was a perfectly placed fixture to feed into the content machine, of which I am a part, forming a giant super tornado around the City 1-1-5 guilty verdict, which we've talked about in the last two episodes, my opinion on it.

And are we going to talk about it again? Yes.

So this game represented sort of us versus City.

That's how it was positioned anyway.

That was how it was positioned by every single pundit, broadcaster, newspaper, everything, right? And I don't disagree that it was a very artfully timed match in that regard.

But again, I do feel like as a neutral, I feel like I have a different sentiment towards the sporting aspects of this discussion.

versus the business aspects of the discussion.

I understand having a Liverpool City game.

City won 3-0.

Have I said that yet? City won 3-0.

Amazing goals.

Like, unbelievable goals.

And on the pitch, I just thought this was a really, really, really great game of football.

which showed everything that is great about football.

Cherky's goal, the little feint, and then the, what would you call it, turn, and then slipped it in.

It was amazing.

Doku's goal, cutting inside from the left and banging it in the top right corner.

I can't remember which commentator said, how many times have you seen Doku do that? And I was like, Oh, I don't know, six? Like, not that many.

Not that many.

I've seen him cut inside a lot, but actually finishing it like that, maybe not that many.

Six times-ish?

So yeah, it was a perfectly placed fixture to represent this whole discourse, basically.

Liverpool representing the masses who were trying to save football from corruption, and City representing the corruption.

My problem with that is, again, I'm a neutral.

I didn't like narrativizing this game in this way.
