How much will Coronavirus (COVID-19) impact Aston Villa's season?

If you have Prime it includes the games they show.

I still think that they should put up big screens in the stands where those watching online appear on the screen along with sound. This could create a new interactive experience of watching matches online, where fans can shout and sing into their computers and be heard in the stadium. No idea if this could work, probably not, but I like the idea.

If VAR gets a wrong decision, will they be pumping "Fuck VAR" into the stadium?

To stay up the two must win games in my mind are Palace at home and Newcastle away.

I think we match up well v Newcastle who are one of the few prem clubs who don't attempt to press in midfield. God knows what training schedule Bruce has been giving them in lockdown given it's lax at the best of times so think we can go there and win like we did at Burnley.

Palace are good away but really can't see them caring much at end of the season when they'll be just mid table and wanting the season to end. That said we will lose the atmosphere for night games which seems to get extra 10% out of this squad which is reflected in the results.

Can't see us staying up if we don't win those two games. Think 4 wins will be enough.

Palace were an in form side before the games were stopped and an away trip to Newcastle is tricky. I reckon four wins guarantees safety. We could stay up with less than the twelve  points four wins would bring but we would be pushing our luck.

We're draw specialists this season so we likely will be pushing our luck.

I don't think you need a Prime subscription. Anyone can watch it via the app is my understanding.

Blimey. Didn't expect that from amazon. After their coverage of those 2 'rounds' last year, I wonder if they'll go for a whole Saturday or Sunday.

No, they only have four games, the first of which is the eagerly awaited Monday Night showdown between Crystal Palace and Burnley.

That only leaves three games so not enough for a full weekend day.

If we can't win those two I simply can't see us getting another 10 points from the other games. I see Palace as easier than Wolves and probably although the other home games we've got although Chelsea will be missing a few midfielders when they play us and we'll also have a match under our belts so that could be an opportunity.

Suggestions the FA now saying they wouldn’t oppose non relegation from PL if season curtailed. Realised the potential litigation would be v costly to them no doubt.

[cdbearsfan]

Suggestions where please, any link? I saw that Belgium and France seem to be having problems relegating their teams.

Talksport Facebook page has a link to the story in T** S**. Yes I know I know.

We are playing Albion in a friendly at VP today according to the Daily Mail.

Having McGinn back will be a bonus but we still need some beef in midfield.

Is Ross Mc still with us?

Yes I am there along with 200 friends standing on each other’s shoulder in Aston Park.

And how are they going to let us know the referee’s profession?
