Genuinely sick to death of all the self-interest in football. It's why I couldn't be doing with all the hypocritical moaning from the other clubs about the super league proposal. Sure, the closed shop

Can’t we just criticise her without the misogynist shit. She’s a dickhead. No need to suggest anything else.

Premier League "And handing the title to Liverpool"

 

Everton Fans "Murdering Bastards!!!!!!!"

The site's editor must have had a day off. Paul would have a field day with the errors in that article.

The typos are bad enough, but I think Gini, Robbo and Shaq would have something to say about the sneering at the thought of Liverpool shopping at the bottom of the table.  Shame, really, because it's a decent article.

It would definitely happen Baz. Part of opening up.

So why won't the congregate round the ground if the team is playing in st George's park or whatever neutral venue? We have fans all over the country, so they could congregate both at the neutral venue and anfield. Personally I think not playing football matches because you can't trust people to abide by the law would be like never opening shops in case someone shop lifts.

Why is it the bottom six who are against it? In a neutral stadium aren't both teams at the same disadvantage.

 

There isn't really a 'fairness' argument there at all.

I don't believe they are against it. They are just trying every trick in the book to stop any chance of relegation.

I'm watching that show the man in the high castle so it's unthinkable what a nazi world would have looked like. Horrendously dystopian. 

 

People wouldn't be allowed to leave the house without permission, households wouldn't be allowed to mix and gatherings would be banned... oh.

Oh for fuck's sake,someone just make a fucking decision. We're running out of time and cannot afford to keep having all these extra discussions. They've probably had these any way. And what happens if after that meeting they say 'we need more information'?

 

Sorry, behind a paywall again.

 

Chairmen and chief executives believe it would be pointless to hold a vote on restarting before their players and managers have been briefed

 

Premier League clubs may decide to wait past Monday’s shareholders meeting to vote on ‘Project Restart’ once captains and managers have held their own rounds of talks later in the week.

With Prime Minister Boris Johnson not issuing his update on the coronavirus lockdown until Sunday, the next Premier League meeting has been moved from Friday to next Monday.

But that is still rated by some as too soon to vote on the proposal to restart the season at neutral venues, given meetings with club captains and managers will not take place until after the shareholders talks.

Some chairmen and chief executives believe it would be pointless to hold a vote on restarting before their players and managers have been properly briefed, and before knowing whether or not they back the plan...

I fundamentally don’t believe those meetings won’t already have happened. Parish has said he’s spoken to his staff, Dyche been on TV saying the same today. 

 

Palace & Burnley have nothing to play for. If those clubs have had the discussions, you can bet the rest of the league, with things at stake, will have had those conversations as well.

I agree with you. But if they're going to say they need further discussions after Monday on these points, then they're clearly just running the clock down.

Fans favourite moment of the season as voted for on MOTD Twitter was us getting beat by Watford. Sad bastards.

If all they have is voting on a meaningless poll about a football team they don’t particularly like then I’d suggest their lives are very empty and they need to get a fucking life.

If the government says its safe to play and the league has the required number of clubs willing to play, the rest just need to get in line.
