To overcome Skynet was not easy, it involved time, belief and an indomitable human spirit. To beat a machine equipped with superior weaponry and a ruthless access to resources to increase its arsenal took ingenuity and a "never say die" attitude.

Abu Dhabi is the ground zero of Skynet and Manchester CXV are the Terminators. The thing about Skynet is that there are no qualms about what their aim is, there are no notions of fairness. 

"Listen, and understand! Manchester CX are out there! They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop... ever, until someone stops them flagrantly breaking rules"-Kyle Reese

In a landscape where one team dominates it is up to a resistance to topple them, this is made hard when using resources that were gathered within the rules under which the competition is run, but it's not impossible. Liverpool proved that. They proved that with patience and persistence, and of course belief, odds can be overcome.

The Premier League can't send a soldier back in time to September 2008 but they can act on the charges that the nation state owned machine face. There can be no saviour to right previous wrongs but as we all know, the future is not set and we need to look at a future where Skynet has been decommissioned, dismantled and forced to adhere to the agreed rules of engagement.

"You're terminated f*cker!"-Sarah Connor
