I kinda get why they had them during this restart, especially in warmer countries like Spain or Italy. Absolutely no place for it next season. Been my fear for years they are going to implement something like that to make room for mid half commercial spots for TV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeps Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 5 subs has to go 100% Drinks breaks needed to go too. Even if they scrap the first half one for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted August 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2020 i kinda liked the drinks breaks...maybe because last few games my nerves were so shot that it gave me a minute to breathe and when we finally get to return to stadiums it'll be a chance to go for a piss without missing any of the game but i guess it's only a matter of time before there are adverts shown during them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 One of the better lineups in years. If only Burnley and Brighton would f*** off and get where they belong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bet the majority of Football fans don't know that Burnley have been in the top flight for more seasons than Leeds or Leicester. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruity Source Some interesting info there... Also can't believe only 7 teams have currently been in the top flight for 10 or more consecutive years. Wouldn't mind seeing blackburn, sheff wed and derby returning next season, replacing palace, brighton and Fulham. Would have a nice old school feel to the league Edited August 5, 2020 by MrBlack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
