South Korea have seen a spike in daily cases, and they have been testing for a while now.
We on the other hand are way behind.
Europe's most deaths. Still at least the footys back :roll:

I wont be watching it. A pile of shite.
And it's not just today,it's every day. Where do they get the money for M&S avocado sandwiches and bottles of wine...don't ask
Well at the momwnt it's the taxpayer isn't it ? Seeing as no one is allowed to work peoperly. But, heh, never mind this generation will be long dead before the government's massive borrowing (more last month than the whole of the previous year apparently) has to be repaid or at least reined in. Whoever would have believed we were duped into electing a socialist government last year. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Same for me mate.
Football without anyone in the stadium, without a pub to go and watch it and without all the other things taken for granted is an utterly pointless and uninteresting subject for me.
Same. Couldn’t give a crap and can’t see myself tuning in for a game when it restarts.
I do miss a beer garden while the weather is nice like this though
Of course I will still follow the games but by reading posts on here, chatting to mates on WhatsApp and watching the boys’s videos on YouTube etc.
But the idea of watching 90 minutes of football with no fans and all those distancing regs, as much as I’m aware they’re necessary?........I just can’t stand the idea.
Fancy calling your only son "Barnestoneworth"
He's got another name....
Yeah....."United"

Don't think the distancing regulations will present a problem for our defence tbh. They seem to have been practising it for a lot of the season already.

Very true. We may even obtain an advantage because of it.

Research has shown that home advantage is significantly negated with empty stadiums.

Whether or not it will affect us, who knows ?

When the ILS is rocking it's a blast but it doesn't happen all the time, far from it. A goal down and the nerves kick in.

So it probably boils down to the skill and ability of our players compared to the others at the bottom and on paper, we should be fine. Assuming Antonio is fit, he'll be huge for us.

You ain't got s clue mate.
Antonio will be 100% ineffective with no crowd. He thrives on the support of the crowd and they motivate him. No crowd equals totally ineffective Antonio.
The player who would be big for us with no crowd is Lanzini. Since his injury he visibly shrinks every time he makes a mistake and the crowd moan. The fans have ruined his confidence. No crowd could see Lanzini flourish. Fact.
