    Well done that man ! Can’t stand so called famous people who think that because they have the availability of a media outlet it makes them so “I know it all and my opinion is best because I’m famous “

    Saw that yesterday! It makes a refreshing change. Really pissed me off during the election when people like Lily Allen were pontificating on who to vote for. Just because you're well known for one thing, doesn't mean your opinion on something totally unrelated is correct.

    Nice answer, but to be fair I have read that it has potential to affect the football calendar, postponements, games behind closed doors, players shaking hands etc.

    Wish I was there to ask the next question.........

    'So Jurgen, had Britain, under Lord Salisbury, continued with their policy of 'Splendid Isolation' would war had still been inevitable? Or had Wilhelm's sacking of Bismarck and change in foreign policy forced Britains hand?'

    Klopp comes across as a top bloke and answers to questions like this just make me admire him more...

    If the rest of the fixtures are cancelled then Liverpool may not win the league this season...Klopp will undoubtedly have a view on that!

    Enough fixtures have been completed for the current tables to stand imo.

    If anyone has an outstanding game in hand it should be played, even behind closed doors, so everyone will have played the same amount.

    I wonder if our games could be played with no crowd, but perhaps on SAFCSEE?

    I'm not worried too much about dying from Coronavirus. Statistically, you're more likely to get hit by a bus or attacked by a Tottenham player.

    Made a snidey comment about Sunderland to suck up to the mags so he can piss off for me! He seems alright to be fair, don't know why but sometimes it seems a bit forced somehow, like a lot of his persona is an act, but I'm probably wrong

    People are suggesting games should be played behind closed doors which is ridiculous imo.

    Just announce that the subsequent round of games, plus games in hand, will be the last and live with it.

    Promotion, in L1,would be the top three with no play off.

    Who would pay clubs on the edge for the hotels, travelling, etc ...

    ... Bury and Oldham have shown how many clubs are teetering on the brink.

    It's all very well for Liverpool, who's losses would be minimal, but it would cripple some clubs.

    I agree and I've seen it all before with the likes of Holloway, Keane, Clough, Mourinho, etc.

    They get a reaction to a genuine trait or response then act up to it to a ridiculous degree.

    It's very easy to turn on reporters who really can't say, "All right Klopp, I only asked if Liverpool were concerned about the implications of the virus, no need to go mental FFS!"
