Zhan_Zhuang Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I've been wondering for awhile economically certain government supporters and benefactors are urging businesses to open up again. Maybe some of the PL directors/owners also back the government? Personally I'm sick of the PL, I'm not missing football but feel as though integrity is lost at the moment considering how bad things are in the UK.

danceoftheshamen Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) I still think it's a disgrace to relegate any team unless the season were played out normally in front of normal crowds. With the money at stake and the fine margins between winning & losing it's shameful to relegate a team based on a shambolic, mickey mouse type end to the season. So many factors come into it which most definitely have an impact on results & performances that punishing a team on such a massive scale due to forcing things through like this is a disgrace. By all means end the season to award titles etc but i still strongly believe it is monumentally unfair to relegate any team as a result of this considering the massive impact it would have on those clubs ... and the mental wellbeing of hundreds of thousands of people who amidst this horrid time would feel slighted in the extreme. The Government & Mr BJ need to remember that there is also a massively depressing side to all this which would add yet another layer of mental torture to so many people who would see their club relegated unfairly & unjustly and possibly push some of them over the edge! If they want to get games back on "To relieve the boredom & help peoples mental wellbeing" so to speak, then do so but for goodness sake make it clear that relegating teams on the back of it is simply not an option for exactly the same reason! Crikey it's so ridiculous! Edited April 27, 2020 by danceoftheshamen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are doing basic training but no football interaction because of social distancing but they are using the gym but normal people can’t use gyms. Non-essential employees can’t go into offices but footballers can go into work. Luiz and co broke quarantine rules last week but now allowed to do this. How is this role model to kids, to adults as well when they break the quarantine rules and then get special treatment or exceptions. I thought the rule was that people could still go to work if they abide by the safe distancing rules and cant work from home. Isn't this the same although they could still train at home I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I have read there are not using the gyms , they have to drive in and go straight to the training pitch , train then jump back in car . Spain are talking about sterilising the ball and pitch during the game ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you meant asymptomatic. Its our players who are asymmetric ! And when you meant asymptomatic, I think you meant immune, as asymptomatic just means showing no symptoms. And when you meant immune, they probably aren’t Other than that I couldn’t agree more ! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tactics, no contact with each other....essentially they can do everything else not going into work. Added that’s it’s perception that they broke rules and now they are going back to work(ish). Role models (haha) and people in the spotlight should be showing us what to do not doing what Grealish did, Luiz did and then be exception to the Stay at Home order. What are our kids taking from that? What is the general public take from that? Just not impressed. Edited April 27, 2020 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Villa play football it's relegation. Our only hope is to follow the dutch and cancel the season. The PM must step in at this point. Prince William could surely pull rank here either from the palace or as president of the FA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I hope the players aren't as scared of the season recommencing as some of the fans, don't know why so many, our fans and those of other clubs, are taking it for granted that we will be relegated if the season continues, it's not as if we're cut adrift we're two points from safety with a game in hand, this break might mean we will have some of our better players back too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Just had a look on the thread for how the season is going to continue on the Leeds forum waccoe, and it's full of them laughing at quotes from this thread and other posts relating to Villa, some of them even suggesting they sign up to here to "go fishing", with their track record you'd think they'd wait and see what happens before getting ahead of themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t. I think we have a much better chance now than what we had after the dreadful Leicester performance when we looked certs for relegation. i think the footballers will be itching to play. That’s what they do isn’t it play football. They are probably bored out of their minds right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wont be arsed playing in empty stadiums especially for teams that have nothing to play for. So Liverpool after 2 games wont be arsed, every team except the bottom 6 and maybe 2 or 3 chasing Europe. Thats it. Going to be a lot of dead rubber games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
