Not really, there’s more important stuff than football.

Yes but that thread is going on in Off Topic. This one is about how it’s impacting on the Villa.

Depends whether this time next year you can look at full house at Villa Park and know that as many as five per cent of that number had died since March 2020.  Us old and ailing buggers are Villa fans too.

As I said, on a purely footballing side.

I'm absolutely delighted - I can't hide or control emotions.

That doesn't mean that I'm not aware or considering the consequences.

Maybe they will keep the league as is and appease the championship clubs with the parachute payments that would have gone to the relegated teams?

Callum Hudson Odoi has tested positive. Really cannot see how at the very least our game can now go ahead

We, the fans, especially those who actually attend games, are as much part of football as the players and the coaches.  Whether we actually live or die impacts directly on the game.

Well can you sort out our defending on set pieces then please.

yes you are the self appointed patronizing expert on this and other subjectS to the point of tediousness.
If you don’t get humor then surely it’s time for another flounce.
No need.  Some things get lost in tranlation and not everybody has a brilliant wit like you.

If any of our defenders got it, there would be no need for the rest of them to self isolate, as they always make a point of leaving several metres of space between them.

If clubs are not allowed to play until January 2021 then - most clubs will be bankrupt and all the players will be on the dole - there is no way a club can keep giving a footballer £100k a week and not get any income.

The current thinking appears to be that the Euros will get pushed back into 2021 and the domestic leagues will be extended into the summer, to get them completed.

The current thinking has no basis in logic, then. Government policy is to delay the worst impact of the disease until summer. Why would anyone think we will be able to play league games in June?

On a purely footballing side, is it wrong to feel slightly relieved by all this?


Taken in isolation, on the purely football side, I'm planning a party* for
•Us staying up
•'The Mighty Reds YNWA' not winning the league
•Leeds not coming up
•Stripeyfilth not coming up

*due to social distancing recommendations, none of you are invited.

Accrington Stanley v Pompey off because the latter played Arsenal last week.

If the Euro's get postponed until 2021 (which is heavily mooted), then they could extend the domestic season into the summer.
Shutdown football from now until May and then resume when things settle down.

That gives us plenty of time to replace Smith and for his replacement to sort out our squad for those remaining games.
Job done !

Apparently the bundesliga plan is to end the season now.

Top four as it stands into Europe, no relegation, top two in their championship come up, next season two more clubs than usual get relegated.

Sounds good to me.
