Today's news - possible restart of the football season

[kancutlawns]

Well, let’s see. One of the key things as with Tammy Abraham who lives with an elderly parent is players could be infected with COVID-19, take the infection to the training grounds, the actual matches when they will be playing with 21 other individuals and taking the infection back home.

So the risk of infection is one thing. Another is the lack of proper competition when a number of teams have players dropping out. It’s just senseless. They could have closed the season down, not sure of the urgency. The financial argument was a red herring and a lot of PL teams have billionaire owners.

Bring it back. All of it. All of the football, all of the time. Football 24/7.

If Sky had their way, there would be back to back football from 10am to 10pm with no fans. They may get their wish.

She's got a whole career's experience of playing in front of empty stadiums to bring to the table.

It's over.

It has now been confirmed that Leeds will be promoted to the Premier League.

[Basualdo]

Not quite yet, Maudey, the championship still hope to resume in June. So though they probably won't do that, it's not all cut and dried yet.

In theory Leeds may still get the chance to do their usual fuck up. Whatever happens, I hope they go up, they deserve it.

Interesting comment by Beeky yesterday, that the chefs at Liverpool have been cooking the players' food and it's being delivered to their homes to make sure they eat properly. Has that been the case at other clubs?
If so, then the chefs have gone to work and mingled with their colleagues to mash the players' bananas for them without making a huge song-and-dance about it, and without a 40-page list of safety requirements, whereas the players, waited on hand and foot, feel uneasy about putting in a shift. Nice.

Just be thankful they're just stupid and not also imaginative. Otherwise we might have got,
"Operation Fatal Venom" or "Project Death Bastard." or something else that looks like it was thought up by a dim eleven year old boy.

Just let Liverpool have the trophy, then nuke the lot of them, sweep up the ashes and put them in the fucking bin.

N.B. The Premier League I mean, not specifically the Scousers

N.B.B. Although having said that...

[Eaststand]

no, void the season.

It would be the funniest thing to have come out of this. Imagine the scouse tears.
