Well that was a rollercoaster of emotions

I think he meant the ball played prior to that

Have to remind myself this year to reserve judgement on the kits til I see them in the pitch. Absolutely hated this year's green at first but I now think it looks amazing when we play in them

It would be very close but to be fair some of that team are pretty old now

1-0 Villa.

kinda disgraceful that we are a premier league team, that often play with wingers, and we only have two players in the squad who are wingers. he and el ghazi essentially get into the team by default if that is the system we want to play

Hate mane

Played well - best I've seen us since restart. The mid season change of subs rule worked against us today. Disgraceful, especially as they also brought in the water breaks to account for player fitness. Helps the big clubs Reckon we could still stay up

I mean they are addressing racism and the return from the league being in lockdown so don't get too stroppy about it. Still 50 minutes to go to talk about the game and the teams

Has konsa played right fullback before?

yeah a few years ago i bought a big bag of crisps that were designed to be heated. Was kind of expecting some culinary wizardry to occur. However they tasted exactly like crisps would taste if you heated them up. rubbish. wouldnt recommend. what i would recommend however is the king of crisp sandwiches - smokey bacon crisps in between two slices of white bread spread with dairylea (other cheese spreads are available) flippin brill

On that topic, who is everyone's favourite Bond? Mine is James

remember man utd lost a game and fergie said it was because they were wearing a grey kit? i imagine that given theres going to be sea of sky blue seats in the background, we would need to wear claret kits for contrast purposes. and now im wondering if that is going to be a factor for all home teams whose kits match the dominant colour of the the stadium? Will man utd find it more difficult to spot each others kits with a sea of red seats in the background semi camoflaging them? or chelsea with blue?

okay i have been very against this whole project restart nonsense but must admit to getting a wee tingle of excitement about all this now its coming to reality. it will be like nothing we have ever seen before. could have an amazing, grass roots unsanitised warts and all feel to it or it could be a complete car crash and people will realise that without all the glitz and glamour which surrounds the modern game, an actual game of football can be sterile and dull.

so..........what did he say about his hair?! come on man don't keep us in suspense!

50cc's of Danny Drinkwater. Stat

he'll probably disagree with that

Dont judge me too harshly but Extraction - Netflix. Absolutely brain dead story line but fantastic action sequences if you like that sort of thing. Hemsworth is really good in it

i guess like all these thing it depends on the person doing it too. in her team, two of the girls who gt it done had nose bleeds and one fainted. guess you just hope you dont get a nurse too clumsy/ enthusiatic/ heavy handed

tell you what though - apparently the test itself is horrendous. my wife had it done on monday and they have to really dig in there - both up your nose and down your throat - to get a good scraping. according to the nurse that conducted my wife, some people can stand it better than others and suspects that some negatives could be false due to insufficient swabbing. so imagine having to get that done a few times a week just so you can go to work

I would love to think that this is the wake up call that football needs that the financial model upon which it is built is deeply deeply flawed, and that a complete overhaul and rationalisation of wages and % of wage costs to revenue is needed. it wont but it would be nice The salaries make me sick, the lack of a buffer for a crisis like this is poor risk management, the speed with which the clubs were prepared to dump their lower paid staff was concerning, and the willingness to send the players back to playing in an unsafe environment for no other reason than revenue protection is particularly sinister

most teams wont have any fans in the stadium. but we wiil have two - Jack and Dean. Advantage VIlla!

i have a low key fascination with the idea of watching unconditioned, out of shape, chubby post lockdown footballers dragging their arses round a quiet football pitch where we could hear the swearing and slagging and managers instructions and screams of pain from soft tackles etc. It would be hilarious and I think I could relate more to players playing more like me and my fat mates down the local park than the pure robotic athletes we are used to watching (Danny Drinkwater aside) in a sanitised, editable environment

"I could be so good for you..."

I think if the season goes ahead BCD and on neutral venues then it isnt the same competition that was entered into and therefore the sanctions for finishing at he bottom of the table, or the rewards for finishing top of the table are null and void. Personally I think the season should conclude BCD and on neutral venues but promotion and relegation scrapped. However as a compromise I think there should be some sort or reward/ punishment in the guise of a points award/ deduction for the 2020/21 season for the bottom 5 prem teams and top 5 champ teams. i.e whoever finishes 20th in prem starts on -5 pts, 19th on -4 pts, 18th on -3 pts etc. in 2020/21. Likewise, whoever finishes top of championship starts with 5 pts, 2nd starts with 4 pts, 3rd, 3 pts etc.
