Nice.Could they void the PL due to the Coronavirus? | No | Resuming June 17th
- Thread starter Tarrou
- Start date
Nice.As someone who wasn't that arsed if/when football returned this season, after seeing that schedule I must admit it got me excited to watch football again. Also, the possibility of seeing Pogba and Bruno together is exciting. I assume Pogba will be fit, anyway?
Here we go...
If they somehow lose the first couple of games I'll start believing.
Did you guys see De Bruyne (aka De Brownie) recent photo? He is looking fat as feck lolz
what do you guys reckon? I think as a athlete he should’ve looked out after his body even during the pandemic. I know I did.

Coming from a Liverpool fan that's really rich!
At least he admits that Liverpool ( * nobody really cares, there was a global pandemic ) have managed to get what they wanted and pocketed the FA and Media in the process.
Probably in your opinion, might as well not continue playing any more football after '' Liverpool ( * nobody really cares, there was a global pandemic )'' get their precious 30 year league finally.
Mmmmm wet dreams are great.
This is a feckin joke...a farce.
I think it's there more to wind you guys you up than anything else, is working a treat with my LFC supporting mates.
Why does United's match against Sheffield have to be moved to a neutral site? That doesn't have an impact on the title or police do not have enough current resources to have City and United play home matches in Manchester at the same matchweek?
I get you. But that was Arsenal and Chelsea...not these revolting bastards.
Well done. Do you wanna small trophy also?
Agreed, the bitterness here must be what other clubs filled their forums with when United were winning everything. Now many United fans are showing they’re just as petty and bitter as fans of other clubs.
If you go deep into the World Cup, you play until July 12th or so. 3 weeks holiday after that, they come back end of July, beginning of August. First game of the season is usually around August 10 so yes, I think pre-season for a lot of guys after an international tournament is two weeks. Which is less than half what they'll have had right now, minus the tiredness from having played a full season + tournament after an international tournament.
Also, Dortmund-Bayern was indeed three games in but it was also just 10 days after the Bundesliga restarted, and to add to that, Bayern came out flying just like they were before the break under Flick. You might see some patchy play in the first games back but there are currently no reasons to suggest that the level will be atrocious, especially if you consider they've been back in training for more than a week as of now and have more than 3 weeks left(!) of full-contact training.
If the thing you're moaning about is potentially playing one or two games at a neutral venue instead of an (empty) Old Trafford, or 5 subs instead of 3, then I'm gonna conclude from that that they did a fantastic job of bringing football back in a successful way.
Jeez, whats with the attitude? Just sayin’.
I’m not bragging. I go to the gym since late 2014 regularly, so I didn’t want to waste all my progress and kept training the way I could at home.
Not sure it looks great for a footballer to come looking a little chunky out of hiding.
Why is our game vs Sheffield United one of the ones earmarked for a neutral venue?
Course there's a reason. The seasons credibility it shot. It will always be remembered as the year of the pandemic.
That maybe would've been the case if the season was stopped prematurely; if there are 38 games played and we are on top, it's as legitimate a title as any other. What would the * refer to? The fact that we played a few games at a neutral venue instead of Anfield? Good luck with that
The downside of all this shit is that it doesn't feel like a proper title win, if anything. There'll be no celebrations, no parade, no nothing. It will just be checking the box and move on to next season. It's basically just a formality right now.
Of course there will be an asterix. The seasons been interrupted for nearly 3 months with the remaining games being played behind closed doors with all home/away advantage wiped. Not only that but clubs are struggling for player fitness, form is out of the window and some players out of contract or having loans that have expired. Not only that but other divisions/leagues have ended their seasons already.
To try and suggest this has just been a normal season which will retain full credibility is beyond stupid.
It's unbelievable really.
Hang on though there's no *. Everything is as normal. All our tough remaining games are now being played behind closed doors at neutral venues and the whole thing is messed up but yes that's perfectly fine.
Absolutely mental logic.
Yeah okay
Put all the **** you want next to it mate, knock yourself out.Yeah okay
You can laugh but it's a fact. If you think no reference will be made to the fact that season wasn't completed properly you're deluded I'm afraid. Unfortunate but a reality.
I havn't really followed this, but how are we supposed to end the season, surely it's too late now? No summer break for clubs and players`?
We'll deal with that problem when Liverpool win the title
I’m a bit behind with all this. So, are the clubs in the bottom 3 going to be relegated?
Yeah okay
Your first game back is 'Everton away'.
But it's not really though is it.
Tainted title lads, even though you deserved it.
Great post
apologies for taking so long to update the title, was a busy work day
was tempted to make it "Resuming (without integrity) on June 17th"

Well said
Hilarious mate
Look at RobinLFC go. Must be feeling like an oversexed guy right now.
Poo Chumpions.

Seems like that’s the case. I haven’t heard anything about the Championship resuming though.
My guess is that the 20/21 season will begin later in August or early September. I think they’ll end up scrapping the League Cup for next season, which is basically City’s to win every year any way.
UEFA are still determined to finish the CL/EL which will take place in August apparently.
Maybe because most other professions aren’t contact sports and you can either recall the staff in shifts to increase physical distance or hopefully provide face shields when physical distance isn’t possible.
He will be banned in a few weeks so needs to enjoy it while he can.
Has anyone else not missed it at all?
Perhaps it will all change when it comes back and I'll be there as always but I'm not even sure I'll be watching any Spurs matches, let alone others, for the rest of the season.

I feel exactly the same. Many friends I’ve spoken to are also apathetic about it. The integrity of the season is completely shot, especially with talk about playing games at neutral venues. I doubt I’ll be watching when it restarts to be honest.
I haven't missed it as much as I thought
Usually International week feels like forever, but it's surprising how soon you get used to no football
Neutral venues is seriously BS. If they can't trust the population, or themselves to control them, to not come to stadium then what's the point? And I think people are overreacting to the risk of this.
The same was thought when the BL was starting but there haven't been any issues of people gathering at the stadium till now. You should just have the matches at the home stadium and build systems to prevent large gatherings.
