Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[Durutti City]

If they play behind closed doors, will the players have to fetch the ball themselves when it goes out for a throw-in?

Football is 22 men chasing a bag of wind, my dog does it.

Golf however is a thing of beauty.

Golf spoils a good walk ;)

I presume it'll be non contact football for the remainder of the games?

In fact you know what, I can't even be arsed talking about it anymore.

Christ, even Brighton are going against their paymasters.

There is a list of about 90 players in the Premier league out of contract Willian at Chelski is one of them , and this virus is going to stifle any big transfers , players like Sane who's contract is up next summer can start talking to clubs in January and go on a free transfer , i am sure there are hundreds more players in europe in a similar position. It will be swings and roundabouts we could lose players for peanuts but also pick up some exceptional talent for next to nothing. There will be a seismic change in the transfer system in the next couple of years , so Txiki had better be "on it".

You hit the nail on the head here, if the market crashes and we get say 25m for Sane. it might actually be a good thing in the long run because we need to replace Sergio Agüero soon, Sane and David Silva plus a a couple of defenders

I see it as a good walk ruined. As an ex head greenkeeper

You were in the wrong fucking job then mate!

I believe they have actually been sensible and blamed Sterling for all of this.

And here was me thinking FFS Mahrez.

Yea after 22yrs of listening to golfers moan I like lots of good greenkeeper are turning our backs on the industry and they is a huge lack of youngsters joining the industry. I dont miss it for one minute ;) most people I know in the golf industry are getting out of it or just counting down the years to retirement. It really is not a nice industry. Golfer have a habit of thinking they are better players than they really are and just complain about the course instead of complaining about them being crap golfers lol

Fair enough, I quite fancy the idea of driving around on a big fuck-off lawnmower all day - I suppose it could get a bit tedious after a while though!
