    Live on BBC, Boxing Day afternoon. Its football, but not as we know it. Totally sterile, piped atmosphere, cheering fans on the big screen, players falling down all over the place and Woy Hodgeson looking as bored as the rest of us. Total turn off for me.

    Not on BBC but the Leicester/ManU game showed (to me at least) that if the football is good enough the lack of atmosphere, fans, etc becomes far less noticeable.

    Watched about thirty seconds of the Villa game
    Watched about thirty seconds of the Fulham game
    I realised 2020 is the year I stopped giving a **** about football.

    Football without fans is nothing.

    Don't agree, without fans its nothing. This VAR is infuriating too. If they can spend, what seems an eternity looking for a reason to give a penalty or not then they should spend a few seconds looking at the cheating bastards like Zaha and Grealish who tackle themselves by wrapping a foot around the opposition's leg, then throw themselves to the floor to get a free kick. Zaha does it at every challenge.

    Well, I don't like cheats either but there weren't any in the ManU game I watched and enjoyed. It would have been better with fans but that's where we are for a while. It doesn't detract fron some cracking football on show, for me anyway.

    There's always goodwill, it's just that most reserve it solely for the people who share the same view as they do

    Bit annoyed about the Arsenal result, I had a few pennies on them to win 2-1 and would've won £350

    I reserve mine for people who don't act like ****s to other people. There is way too much unneccesary ****ishness on here.
