BBC confirmed Bournemouth-Palace and Norwich-Everton.
Same list as talksport.
Good to have football back.
They are batshit mental (like all clubs' fans are at some stage), but where they have a point is in acknowledging the laughable sense of entitlement that the Bayerns and the yoovays and the Meelans of this world possess.
'Ignore Racism', as if City won the lottery or something.
UEFA should counter it with, "You weren't in Europe then."

Wall-to-wall summer football like it's the world cup.
:drool:
I bet this mad fixture format sticks to an extent. I've always thought since seeing the Aussies do with with the NRL years ago that having every game at a different time (and therefore on tv) was a likely end state for our football. Fuck the match-goers and the joy of soccer saturday/5live sport etc.
I assume by 'end state' you mean literally. It'll completely put off everyone bar the duvet nest crowd. People like routine in their week, and this fucks it.
I love that freak.
To an extent, although it will endure. People (fans) will rightly piss and moan, but they always bend over in the end.Quote:

wash is unhinged but brilliant.
If they start moving games across the weeks then I think you'll get a backlash. It'll kill any sort of atmosphere.
I am 98% sure it would decrease matchday crowds, and also put off the masses of precious casual fans who want an appointment to view rather than having to look up when a game is happening.Quote:

It doubt it would decrease matchday crowds at the big ticket locations, and (of course) they are all that really matter. Most 'big team' games aren't at a regular time anyway though, I suppose.Quote:

Do people really want to throw £50 in the bin every week for something they're not all that interested in?
Div 1 down would obviously remain the same. It could be their USP.
This game has been turd.
Gladbach have been very wasteful although hopefully that Petersen goal (seconds after coming on) opens this game up.
Edit: It didn't. Easily the worst game I've watched since Football came back. Awful, awful game which on paper should have been great.
Havertz isn't even on the bench today.
Not at all suspicious.
Indeed.Quote:

I think Hoddle has mispronounced every single players name and both team names.
Also, Hubner has just been sent off for Hoffenheim but tried to stay on the pitch.
This, the piped in crowd noise and the picture being about three seconds out of sync make it surely the worst audio package to have ever been broadcastQuote:

Leverkusen have collapsed.
He claimed it was Muller twice before finally realising.Quote:

What's the logic behind the 5 subs? Is it to ease the pressure on their COVID-ridden lungs or is it to just make sure as many BAMEs as possible get exposed to it? It's pretty shit and I wish Prem hadn't followed it.
RB Leipzig have just conceded an injury time equaliser to Paderborn :harold:
And then just missed an absolute sitter.
Art.
They've said it's because players might be unfit heading back after the break and not having proper training in that timeQuote:

Probably fucked it up because I have money on him to score.
Newcastle played a game against itself behind closed doors.
Newcastle 1-1 Newcastle
Joelinton scoring for the away kit in a very Joelinton fashion. Confidently striding towards the box before his shot was saved. A cross then came in and he bundled it in from 3 yards with very little idea of how it got there. At the other end, Bentaleb lashed home an cracking equaliser from range.

Verweij reporting United are in for Donny van de Beek. Paging @randomlegend.
It's a bit of a weird one, it comes across like a piece Ajax would get out there to get Real to stop faffing about but Verweij isn't usually into that sort of nonsense. According to the Dutchies he put out something very similar when Barca nabbed De Jong from under PSG's noses so maybe there's something in it.
These kits are far too similar.
Looks like a training session.
I don't get how kit clashes like that happen.
Wales-Slovakia from Euro 16 on BBC1 now.
David Wagner strikes again.
Lovely strike from Jonjoe Kenny.
Watching Benfica vs Tondela on a random freesat channel FreeSports. 0-0. :cool:
Nubel has been great in this game.
Had Wagner not had the hump with him over signing for Bayern then they'd have won a few games in this period.
Saw the "highlights" from a friendly we played yesterday. If that's the level of football, I'm not sure it needs to come back.
Arsenal still as shit as they were before corona then?
Yep, luckily Charlton are equally shit. At one point Aubameyang is given a mile of space, falls over and it ends up in the top corner.Quote:

In news that nobody else will care about (except the Coventry and Southend fans on here maybe), the EFL have confirmed that four clubs from League One have had their players and club staff tested, which can only mean that the season is going to be ended and the play offs will take place.
Wycombe (my new favourite club it seems) have voted to end the season, which will see them jump four places into the play offs, and then allow them to compete in the play offs. Quite how anyone with half a brain is allowing this to happen is anyone's guess. Truly baffling.
What makes it even more ironic is that Wycombe's game in hand was away to leaders Coventry, and Wycombe's away form was wretched. It sounds like Peterborough will be the team to miss out on the play offs rather than Portsmouth.
Why would they jump up fo places?
