In your opinion, an opinion not shared by many, me included.
I couldn’t give a monkey’s about the TV cash, there’s other ways the PL can agree to make up the shortfall to Sky and BT over future seasons. Nor do I care about the ever more desperate ideas being put forward in order to try and complete the 19/20 season. It’s already done as far as I’m concerned.
'An opinion not shared by many ' -
the only opinions that matter on this are the PL stakeholders the majority of whom, I believe, share my opinion not yours.The same with the tv money. It's got nothing to do with you or me but everything to do with clubs who need it to survive which is, apart from the biggest clubs, most of them.
Football is an industry and just like all other industries it needs to get back to work. All the other industries / work places are planning on how to return. Do you not care about their efforts to get back either or is it just football you object to trying to get back to some sort of functioning?
You gave up on the 19/20 season in January didn't you? You made a thread about it.....
See TV thread. Pilot waves! Plenty of Penrose in Devs! Excellent series and there will undoubtedly be another one, but it will have been over the heads of some. No over the top wham-bam-thankyou mam all-out action.Thanx for that. I hate the DM too, but that was the point of the ****ing post. I'm answering on here as I'm staying away from the Prem boards now!
If we didn't stand to definitely win the title 'officially' by finishing the league rather than either not getting the title or being awarded it with an asterix or whatever due to an incomplete(d) or shortened season, would any of you care (as much) about getting it finished or would you just not be bothered? Just asking ...
Yes, because I want to watch Liverpool play, I want to see some other PL teams play, and I want the PL to continue to exist.
You don’t have to be a football club stakeholder to have a view on the loss of home advantage ffs.'An opinion not shared by many ' -

I’m sure the view of the Chairmen of those who don’t stand to lose their PL status off the back off a glorified training ground kick about, and who’s sole interest is the ££££, is completely objective and has the integrity of the game as their prime objective
So yeah you’re aligned with them, well done you. As of course you’ve got no skin in the game either lol. As it goes it doesn’t look like there is the 14 club majority, hence the reason they’ve been talking about removing relegation.
The fact that I made a thread about you winning the league in January has got precisely nothing to do with my view on the 19/20 season. As you’re going to get the title anyway, but as usual everything has to be about the Reds eh.

Of course there is some advantage to being at home, but having better players and tactics is a much bigger advantage.
Were the fans of these relegation teams all sitting on their hands for the first 29 games thinking "the last 4 home games is when we start to help our team"?
i'm fairly desperate for some / any sport to watch , never mind footy , but i'm a bit meh tbh because it is going to feel artificial though i would deffo watch it .
Me I can look both ways at the same time
The only thing I can say to all of that especially the last line is ......You don’t have to be a football club stakeholder to have a view on the loss of home advantage ffs.

I thought Astro was just on a retaliatory wind-up on the Prem board when he was talking about the future of football being armchair-based and crowdless, and I was happy to carry his bags: but it looks more and more that he has a point. Every day some doctor or scientist is talking longer and longer before stadia are allowed to have crowds in again. Now, hysteria excepted, if we follow Uncle Joe's logic that we can't play football behind closed doors even because fans may turn up at their home grounds.... well there's just no football at all for at least a year. That is the logical conclusion, isn't it?
Unless it really is scrap the end of this season no matter what, and use some sort of fig-leaf like additional PPE to excuse playing next season under the same conditions you can't finish this season. Hmm.

I watched that Match of Their Day thing when it was on recently, it was Martin Keown choosing a few important Arsenal matches he played in and the Chelsea v Spurs game that gave Leicester the title. Mostly I was just thinking how ridiculous and non-essential sport seems now, I know football has a big role in people's lives but I was just laughing at it and finding it somewhat comic. It will be weird when/if they get the PL going again. That said, I have been watching plenty of old cycling highlights and re-runs on Youtube, some with analysis, which I've been enjoying.
This is true, some lower teams have better results at home than they do away due to the crowd backing.
Liverpool however have a better record away than at home due to the amount that watch their illegal streams
Eurosport keep showing various Giro's but for some reason seems to just be that & no Vuelta's or TdF

Liverpool have dropped only five points this season -all away from home. Do you speak any other language apart from utter ****e?
Independent venues will have a detrimental effect on all teams, so it will be a level playing field. Brighton and the likes may be using it as an excuse to end the league early so they survive as would West Ham.
