    April..... well, not football [FOOTBALL]

    Well, no football unless you're watching the Belarusian league certainly. But football related stuff people want to discuss will still come up so the football may not be happening but the threads will be.

    Because if you dom't keep doing the monthly football threads that's how the virus wins.

    MOTD are going to be showing "classic highlights", chosen by their pundits:
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52107168

    And this Friday Sky are showing the 4-3 between Liverpool and Newcastle from the 90s. I think in its entirety.

    Second Captains were ‘live’ tweeting one of those the other evening too, could be the same one.

    If any of you watched Sunderland till I die on Netflix last year, Season 2 has been released this morning.

    This is the season where we bounce back in style, lolling our way to the Division Three title and promises of a swift Premier League return become more of a reality.

    Wait.

    No idea. I've started recognising faces this season though, and a number of people who are interviewed/shot sit near me in the ground.

    I've started watching Premier Passions. Peter Reid's just suggested the play short, sharp passes against an unbeaten (18 games) Wimbledon. It's gonna be special.

    I dunno if you mean specifically because of football or generally, but yeah I'm feeling a bit like this.

    I've got an early finish on Friday and I can honestly say that I don't give a shit.

    Assuming it's over before next April, anyway. :*)

    I've got a week booked in June which I'll probably end up keeping. I've already scrapped a week last month and everyone will be piling in to fill out the rest of the year.

    That's your employers problem. If there's no time for me to use it then I'll happily be paid for it / carry it over.

    I dunno what to do. Our managers are asking us to still take at least a day or two here and there so we're not all trying to use a month of holiday around Christmas or carrying over shitloads. And also just because, y'know, time not working is a good thing.

    But any time I look at the calendar to see when i might take some the feeling of "WHY WOULD I WASTE MY HOLIDAYS ON THIS SHIT?" is hard to escape.

    Got a long weekend for the bank holiday coming up next weekend, I'll test the waters with that.

    Aye, I think I can carry five over. I'll see what's up around June.

    As the last man on the burning deck, I'm not sure how I can possibly take any until Team Furlough return, so the last part of the year will be fun.

    Employers can tell you when to take your holiday, and there's nothing you can do about it.

    Half-way through Premier Passions. I forgot they went after Tomasson. There's some gold in this. Everything around the stadium decor, the fan with the missing ear, Peter Reid's internal transfer policy and then settling for Waddle, etc. And I forgot just how shite Lionel Perez was.

    I started watching it after your post earlier. I listened to the Quickly Kevin podcast about it a while ago and been meaning to watch it.

    Peter Reid being ridiculously tight is hilarious, but like you said, the stuff about stadium decor (fucking chandeliers ) and the constant MONEY IS NO OBJECT attitude is brilliant television.

    If you've not seen either, it might be interesting to compare the two documentaries. Same club, different world.

    Although we're always in the shit, so there's that.

    That sounds like the sort of shit Sky would put on THE DEBATE.

    Being discussed by Stuart Pearce and Matt Murray or some shit.

    We've fallen a long way from the days of van Nistelrooy/Henry.

    I remember having a year-long Hasselbaink/Sheringham war with a Spurs fan at school. Those were the days.

    Interesting stance from UEFA today. Sure their president was talking about cancellation last week. Unless they're just trying to align all the members following Belgium's declaration.

    I don't really care tbh. But there we go.

    If FIFA and UEFA were to somehow collapse out of all this that'd really make it all worthwhile.

    It will be hilarious to see how they attempt to put the gravy train back on the tracks. Logically, local football should recover a lot quicker than football which requires international air travel, and that could properly fuck them.

    Premier League clubs have agreed a payment of £125m will go to the EFL and National League.

    Also agreed that the season likely wont be starting in May but it will finish when safe to do so.

    We all know i'm overwhelmingly basic.

    "The Premier League will advance £125m to the EFL and National League, and give £20m towards the NHS."

    This seems a bit backwards or?
