It's not a trophy. It's not about United being proud. It's about the fact that all coverage will forever nag at Liverpool.So we win the "take points from Liverpool" trophy ?
If Liverpool were to lose 5 games, 2019-20 will be remember as good title winning season. And TV retrospectives 20 years from now will only talk about how well they played.
But if Liverpool draw only 1 game, any TV retrospectives would open with the line "Liverpool had a near perfect season, only dropping points against their bitter rivals Manchester United."
Liverpool fans may not want to admit it right now, but in the future they'll have preferred to have w37 d0 l1 record where they only lost against West Ham. Or maybe even a w37 d2 l0 where they drew against United and Brighton.
It's that nag in the back of the mind that will always be there. No commentator or pundit will ever let them forget it.
Liverpool have already won the title. This isn't about taking it off them. It's about that one game being the one that got away.
I'm not coming at this from a pro-United point of view. I'm coming at it from an anti-Liverpool point of view. In that respect, a single draw against Everton would have been just as funny.
