Good read. Would love to know who that is

Do you think it’s real? It seems a bit cliched and predictable in a let’s line up every single argument from a non quoted source.
 

It's the same source. I'm not sure that John Nicholson would risk his reputation on publishing a 2000 word piece that he'd just made up. It doesn't work like that.

It’s not as if there are any witnesses.

Yeah, people with integrity tend not to think like that (I'm not suggesting that I have integrity, or that you don't).

Which of us would go to VP in September - reduced capacity or otherwise - for a game if there wasn’t a vaccine in place? I’ll start, not me.

I would

I’d be there

I think I would, but it will depend on what the situation is like at the time.  If it's still rife, then maybe not, if it's just handfuls of cases then yes probably.

Re player X - I stil think it sounds like Deeny.

That wouldn't surprise me.

The player in the Mirror convo is Trent Alexander-Arnold. Just a guess.

Play in Perth?  Do they think that there are no football fans out there?  What time would kick off be if they want to maximise viewing figures?  Load of old tosh that suggestion. 

10 players test positive in Germany and they are well ahead of us in the fight to bring the virus under control.  Gary Neville reckons players will have to sign a form to play?  What?  And void any claim they might make and leave their family short?  Feck off.

Deeney's a good shout but I'm pretty sure it's Delph, if you read it and imagine it in his voice it fits perfectly and then you have the talk of Man City contracts and the hints towards being liverpool based. He's about the right age and profile, both in terms of family and his place in the game. I also think (and I'm sure there's been posts on here backing this up) that the biggest problem when he left us was talking before he stopped to think, which fits well with someone willing to have a conversation like this.

It wasn’t very likely was it? That’s one of the daft ideas dumped then.

Well not really. Not sure how you’re going to overcome the disparity in the competition.

This situation has become Stephen King-esque and the response to it by the football authorities is more akin to a Monty Python sketch.

Respected football hack for the Independent.

Who said all the bottom six have to play more aways than homes.

[walsall villain]

I can see this behind closed doors mullarkey at neutral grounds getting the nod (voted in 14-6 probably). Whether it gets to be completed is another thing.

[PaulWinch again]

It won’t happen. Those teams at the bottom won’t sign up because of the obvious disadvantage.
