    Not if you know where you've been and with whom? And have been socially distancing.


    It's not just 'in the air'.

    You have to assume that astro is intentionally interpreting everything in the most obtuse manner to wum the thread, there's simply no other good explanation. No rational person could really think that McDonalds delivering food to houses whilst using PPE and social distancing within their restaurants is comparable to football teams playing. The two activities are "not in the same ballpark".

    As for the proposed changes, the idea that shorter halves, more subs, and other changes to the game midway through a season are anything other than money-grubbing is deluded. They quite clearly damage the integrity of the league, surely everyone can see that - they may as well literally suggest moving the goalposts.

    Either it's a wum or he's so far down the rabbit-hole he can no longer see daylight - either way I'm not interested in prodding him so I'll leave this thread alone I reckon. Given the number of responses he's received I'll pat him on the back for some good wumming and hope that's what it is.

    Enjoy folks.

    I can just imagine the commentary now.

    "The 94th minute and Mo Salah has just scored the goal that will certainly win Liverpool their first title in 30 years, he is standing there smiling whilst Sadio Mane is waving at Bobby Firmino from just over two meters away. A ball boy has climbed over the hoardings and is jumping up and down on one of the empty seats.
    Iv'e never seen scenes quite like this and i suspect we may never see them again"

    Astro and sucky climaxing onto their tablet screens at the same time <whistle>

    In all seriousness though, that article headline seems to forget that matches without fans don't have much in the way of players celebrating. It's ****. Something streamers haven't figured out yet.

    Spot on bro. What I mean by the streamers is the likes of astro who don't believe in that last bit.

    Presumably all players will have to wear surgical gloves so that they don't contaminate the ball at throw-ins (or they could have it wrapped in numerous cling-film layers and just peel one off each time).

    I’ve come to the conclusion that the only sensible thing, to save lives, is to “null and void” the season. Only fair way!!

    Not really, it was my turn to get Astro fizzing mate!
    And TBF, the WUM doesn’t even have to be subtle to get Astro going.

    That’s not fair, mate. There’s a lot of support for the golden asterisk idea.

    I support it.

    Shouldve called it weeks ago so we can put that one away and carry on with winning the next one.

    Let's hope your recent form dip doesn't continue then ... you'll need to be winning more than 1 in 4 if you are to be serious contenders next season along with Citeh, us and Newcastle (@1.4 trillion) <whistle>
