According to Boris that tide will turn next week.
Hands up those who believe him.

There appears to be a lack of leadership in the FA, surely reality will have to kick in shortly. I can't see how it is progressing that we will see football this side of Christmas.

Trump says the churches will be full on April 12th.  Can the football grounds be far behind?

April 12th 2021 maybe?

Hopefully nobody is paying attention to anything that prick is saying

I think even the FA have more brain cells than Trump.

Latest suggestion from sources at the FA if the games cannot be squeezed in by July 16, according to The Times, is to play the two games needed so everyone has played 29 games and call that the end of the season, which of course would mean win or down for us.

Patently unfair but how many clubs would vote against that.

I can't see any of these half baked ideas being floated going ahead. If your next 3 games are Sheffield United, Chelsea and Wolves then we're at a disadvantage to somebody around us playing Newcastle and Palace at home. Or we are at an advantage over somebody playing Liverpool and Man City away.

I’m guessing that all these ideas are being floated around to reinforce the position that ‘everything was discussed and no consensus was found, season over’

It always amuses me the way the guys surrounding him stare at him when he comes out with the bollocks he does. It like he’s the embarrassing racist granddad. Don’t think he’s going get another term after this.

The solution will be, play season out if there’s time or call the whole thing off. Simple as that and none of these give em the title, relegate whoever and promote whoever schemes will be taken forward.

I did see that. Of all the solutions that sounds closest to a fair compromise but it's still riddled with what if's? If it was to happen can you imagine the tension of a packed Villa Park playing Sheffield United? We would be scrapping for our survival. They would be playing for 5th place which would be a Champions league spot if City's ban is upheld. Fuck me that would be some occasion. I think they could sell out the stadium twice over for that one.

So only Villa, Sheff U, Arsenal and Man City would have to play a game.
I wonder low long the clubs would be able to prepare for it ?
1 week after the restrictions are lifted ? 6  weeks after?

Maybe they could have a festival of football and play both games at Wembley like the play off weekend?
That way the PL and Wembley could make loads of money out it, we could start the mass movement of people again and Westherspoons pubs  down Wembley way could claw back some lost revenue.

Sorted.
