Watching the Bayern Munich game. Lots of fist bumping and high fives going on. Isn't that not allowed?

Considering they mark man tight at corners, I'm not sure what the point of the balony optics for social distancing of subs and teams in the warm up, celebrations etc

Yeah Paulie, don't be a spoilsport.

Palio’s interesting character , heads a one parent family with several daughters, played for Tranmere, was the 3 rd piece in the Sven Alam love triangle.
Decent bloke although he did react strongly to a tackle in a Veterans match.

From recollection I seem to recall the love triangle revelations telling us Palios was hung like a horse.
Haha.
He risked a huge penal sentence for the tryst at the FA.

Well-hung instruments can also really hurt their, er, target. Or so I keep telling myself.

Well with the potential for this summer football in premier league the small optimisation we can take is that Villa didn't lose in pre season and doing fine in the warmer climate .
Winning everything again this June and July would be perfect !!
Up the villa!

Hi don’t forget some of our players look like world beaters on the training ground, with the resumption behind closed doors that can only be in our favour.

Its maybe not so bad the players testing positive now, but what happens if we get to the playing the matches time and two days or even one day before the match is scheduled two players from one club test positive?  Does the match go ahead? is it "hard luck" that their team line up/tactics have gone out of the window?  How does the opposing team know that another player might not be going into the match as a possible carrier and cause problems for them going forward?

There seems to be a fewer positive tests in the Championship than in the PL.

Not sure which one is the anomaly?

Are the testing regimes comparable?

Even if they are the numbers that are coming out so far aren't different enough for it to be statistically relevant so the answer is probably neither.

I still can't see how, if any team is in anyway impacted by the virus, loss of player or players or staff, even just one player, how any resumption can be fair, lets say Jack went down with the virus, are they saying it doesn't matter, the season must be completed, Villa must work around Jacks absence, we all know the loss to Villa when Jack isn't there.

Once there is full contact training, or the games commence, and a player tests positive, I’m not clear what happens then. Do the whole squad and last opposition have to self isolate for 14 days? Isn’t that what the trace, test, isolate plan all about? Or are they just going to ignore that?

Watching subs and other staff making an attempt, a poor one, at wearing masks is laughable and as you said what's the point?

Few clubs looking into ways of having fans on big screens during games.

AFG Arhus virtual grandstand

Be a good way to dust off the Pride Reward points for our six home games.

What is all this " man marking at corners " you speak of?  Is that something we could try!
