I know it's a meaningless match, but we have to play it anyway and I doubt CSKA will pose much of a problem. It's a trophy, we should just go for it and win it. We should tell UEFA to go f*ck themselves, but that's not going to happen.

The FIFA World Club Championship is only two games against less than impressive opposition. We should enter that and win it too. Besides, if we have new players in the squad by then, it's a good opportunity to let them settle in and it's good for team morale to win a trophy, whatever it may be.

Two relatively easy trophies, we gain respect by competing and winning the Super Cup despite our treatment by UEFA, and we if we play in Japan, it may expand our fanbase in Asia so from a financial point of view it's a good decision to take part.

This is not true.

CSKA is a good team. And Abramovich is pumping cash into the club just like he is doing in Chelsea.

And I think you underestimate the opposition in Fifa world club championship. I remember last time when manchester were in it. It was maybe the best Man U team in the last 10 years, but still they got hammered 3-0 by Vasco Da Gama

I remember that tournament, Beckham got sent off and G.Neville had a sh1t3r

To travel to the other side of the world to play in a pointless match that is after all nothing more than an exhibition promoted by the footballing authorities is a total waste of our players time and energy. . Tell Fifa to "Fu'ck Off "     

Thanks for backing me up Woof Woof and agreeing we should make a stand although telling FIFA and UEFA to Feck off might not be the best approach but I agree with the sentiment 

It all really hinges on whether we are included in next season's CL for me. If we are and i suspect they will find a way then fine lets represent UEFA as their premier club , If the answers no then we need to make a stand and stop this crazy allocation system they employ.

Liverpool are in an inceredibly strong position and as we are known for being so different to many other clubs what is the problem with once again setting a precedent ?

Fans of this great club need to see the bigger picture and not allow themselves to be beguiled by trophies under the guise of PR for FIFA and UEFA !
