    As per my comments last night, one has to exercise extreme caution when buying out of Italy as the standard of football appears to be in ruins.

    I've started watching a fair bit of it this season and it's technically fine, but the pressing and so on is light years behind England.

    I'm not watching the Bayern game, but the BBC team thing leads me to believe they are playing Musiala as some sort of central/defensive midfielder. Is that right? Isn't he more of a flighty winger?

    Steve McManaman has just questioned whether Bayern could beat 'the English sides'. Who is it that enjoys listening to him?

    I assume he's just heard Savage is a cunt and thought it'd be a laugh for even the goalie to get a go ahead of Savage Jr.

    Not sure on that to be honest. I can see the logic if they get Lille, but that's about it.

    1st: PSG, Atletico, Benfica, Sporting, Atalanta/Villareal, Inter, Salzburg
    2nd: Bayern, Real, Ajax, Lille

    We'd have a 30-40% chance of beating Bayern and a 75+% chance of beating the others. It's no biggie.

    Match is cancelled. Probably the next couple of Premier League games too. No idea if they forfeit the games or rearrange though.

    I am with you on that in general, but one thing that has to be considered is that some corona players might well be asymptomatic but they are not allowed from the association to play. Would be kinda unfair to punish the team for that.

    Trying to remember what happened with us. Think a league game might've been delayed, but we definitely had to play a team of teenagers in the cup.

    Yeah, you've got restrictions on registered players so it's not like they can pad the squad out with reserves, either. The Premier League games might be a different story. Or the same, given that the Premier League asks for a 25-man squad.

    Our games went ahead, although the training ground was shut. I think we lost 5-7 first team players.

    I suppose the problem with making teams forfeit is that it makes them more likely to break rules and field asymptomatic caases.

    Ridiculous sums lost on that cup game. Liverpool 1 - 1 Solihull U18s at half time iirc.

    Presumably it comes down to whether the club asks to have a game rearranged [also presuming no Premier League club would make such a request for a domestic cup game].

    Spurs already have that Burnley game to catch up so if they miss a few more they;re going to have a big problem.

    They should take the cricket approach. If the game's off, the game's off. Point each.

    Or, as a much cooler option: You field what you can and the opposition matches it. So if you get a repeat of that Benfica situation, you tell Benfica to drop players until both sides have equal numbers.

    5 a side on a full pitch.

    That the half time bet you were talking about the other day? It was daft though. Don't think any of them have played in the first team since. Was the age level below those coming through at the moment.

    We played our games. We weren't knackered enough not to name a squad. Our main problem was it took months for some players to get back to fitness. Namely Darlow and Saint Maximin.

    Nah. I can't remember the specifics but must have been on half time result, handicaps from -2 and up etc. Salah, Mane and co starting. Already counting winnings at a goal up after five minutes.

    Not even my worst Villa related betting memory.

    Brighton Championship outright 16/17 pre-season at 14/1. Seven points clear of Newcastle with three games to play. Lose to Norwich and Bristol City, but go a goal up at Villa who get a man sent off on the final day, before Jack Grealish pops up and curls one through David Stockdale's legs in the 89th minute.

    I might have posted this before, it still haunts me in my sleep.

    Apparently Aubameyang skipped training during the week to get a tattoo instead. So Arteta has dropped him completely.

    Tottenham's postponed Europa Conference League game with Rennes will not be rescheduled, says Uefa.

    Spurs announced on Wednesday that the group match - due to be played on Thursday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - could not take place following 13 coronavirus cases at the club.

    The result of the match will now be decided by the Uefa control, ethics and disciplinary body next week.

    Presumably Tottenham didn't want to reschedule and Rennes will be given the win, which makes one wonder why they bothered accepting the invite in the first place.
