Was going to say something then saw the poster.

This thread should go in a museum.

Yet when he plays he doesn't stand out at all in a very average team. I'm not convinced yet.

With the Tories it's always, 'But they're doing a tough job'. And now one pundit is calling them out who wouldn't usually and it's all down to Piers Morgan. If you're a Tory supporter, I think you might want to compare the media treatment of your party and compare it with the others. I imagine the conclusion is 90% of the press is a Tory mouthpiece and they don't get held to account nearly enough. Can you imagine if the Labour party had one of the worst responses to this virus in Europe/the entire world? It's not about 'pleasing everyone'—it's about not killing off your people. Johnson and his government have been shown up as the bunch of lying chancers that they had already shown themselves to be over and over again and none of this is a surprise. They don't care about the normal people of the UK and they never have. The world think we're as much a joke as the US.

I mean if this was so easy to achieve, it would be happening everywhere.

The answer to nothing right now requires the police to set up actual barricades, surely!

There are definite angles to use, but this just seems way too simplistic. Reality is more complicated.

It would put us presumably on 35 points (different ppg home and away). Anyone want to do the maths for the other teams? EDIT: Watford would be on 36. I can see where this is going...

Last I knew they were footballers with families too.

But now no? Whoop!

Er but we're second bottom and have played a game less than all but one team and pretty much the least number of home games. How's that fair?

Ha yeah I tried to get that one as an alternative but couldn't get that either! (Yeah I could have done digital, but I like being able to sell when I'm done).

Ha I just made a Villa shirt. Before the virus I wouldn't have even given AC a moment's thought. I got it last week though and it's truly relaxing in a way I didn't really anticipate. Same with Ring Fit, too. Two games I was like, 'What the **** are they. They look shit' and now they're on rotation. Along with Skyrim.

There's a site called nowinstock.net. You can set up Amazon stock alerts. I think on Game you can set it to email you when they have stock too. I'm in Spain and I managed to get a copy. We can't even go outside pretty much, so it's been useful! You definitely get a sweat on.

He really hasn't. He's looked OK but he's hardly done anything that impressive and has looked on the most part as isolated as Wesley, partly because we're not a very good team. He looks as if he can header though.

I think it's a squad lacking in the Prem, but it would be a different story in the Championship, presuming there would be some tweaks and evolutions over the summer. Look at Targett—he was a standout in the Championship, but in the Premier League, he's just OK. I think there's a lot to be said about our having to get so many players up to speed over the summer. It should never happen like that—players are always trying to get up to speed, even more so because so many came from abroad.

Lesson part 2, don't also be good in the league cup and get to a final at the same time because you'll have played a game less by the time the pandemic happens.

Has anyone played Fifa 20 on the Switch and can comment on how the online is? I know it's a legacy version and all of that. I have no access to a PS4 or XB1 or anything, haven't bought Fifa for years but wonder if a bit of FUT might be fun for a bit. It's on sale here in Spain, so I can get it for £28 physical and sell it when I'm done, so the money isn't that bad (even considering the laziness of the production).

TRO are you just keeping this thread going in conversation with yourself?

That would be so good. It would be a massive anticlimax for Liverpool though. Imagine if they had another dry spell and that was their only recent league title for the foreseeable.

EDIT: I can't even joke about it.

The top clubs don't want to play the shit clubs as it is. No way they'd allow it.

Yeah I think if (when) this happens then we're done. Although you do hear about shit five a side teams in training winning in-training competitions. So maybe...

Yeah it'd be good if we got out of the relegation zone this weekend. But other teams will still have played an extra game than us—so hopefully they all lose anyway. Shit, just looked at the fixtures and there are some points to be had for the rivals. Come on Wolves, Palace, Arsenal and Leicester. It'd be typical if they all lose.

Why do you think our squad is so much better than Norwich's squad? They got promoted as a well-oiled, good team last year. We had to buy a whole new team and do everything on the fly—purchasing a load of players in the process who had obviously never played together and who had on the most part never played in England.
