    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    That's of course assuming that next season is actually starting on time. The other issue would be if multiple teams decide to take legal action. The EFL can try and force one club to drop action by threatening to kick them out the league but what if 5 or 10 or more clubs decide to go for it, are...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Exactly right. What little lockdown we've had has come because of public pressure. It was only a few weeks ago we had Johnson talking about stopping football saying "We are considering the question of banning major public events, including sporting fixtures. The scientific advice is this has...

    If you were the suspicious type you'd suggest we've never really deviated from Johnsons 'move through the population' suggestion. All we've done is slightly delay it to stop the government being criticised when the NHS is overwhelmed. We've had a very weak version of lockdown compared to other...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Posh owner is arguing against PPG isn't he as that has them finishing 5th (they're currently 6th). Past actually playing the games what alternative system is he proposing that has them going up, which seems to be the only thing that will satisfy him, and what makes him thinks the teams that miss...

    Ending up spending a while reading comments on a similar post last night. Person after person blindly defending the indefensible. In his last election campaign Trump said he could stand in Times Square and shoot someone and still get elected, that really seems like the level we're at over here now.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Exactly, we all know Sky hold the power. With Liverpool so far ahead if there's no relegation they're just going to end up with a. load of meaningless matches.

    Bundesliga going ahead

    Hadn't thought about that but WWE have done it for years to make sure they get the crowd reactions they want so no reason it can't be done. Better than just hearing the players shouting at each other.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Bookies would have to pay out. In the grand scheme of things the amount they pay out on L1/L2 bets is going to be pretty insignificant.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Stalling and hoping the person enquiring can't provide a valid address so he doesn't have to answer questions.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    To be honest it makes sense to have different things in different companies. That way if one thing goes tits up the whole lot doesn't collapse. But the key then is does this company sit in Wasps Group or as its own thing that benefits Richardson.

    While its not 'back to normal' it is far busier. I walk either along the A45 or in the Memorial most days when I take the dog out. At the start of lockdown you'd hardly see a vehicle on the A45, now its a near constant stream of traffic. Sure its not bumper to bumper like before the lockdown...

    Shambles. How does an issue on the weekend impact figures for 5 days. Lets be honest, we've not once hit the promised 100K people tested a day. They've changed to 100K tests a day and fiddled the figures on that for a couple of days hoping everyone would then forget about it.

    I happened to be in when Haven was door knocking on her local council campaign. She was absolutely clueless on pretty much every issue I raised with her. Response to everything was 'its a labour council' and would point blank deny things that were the policy of the Conservative government were...

    Difficulty with EPL restart

    This is what I don't understand. At the moment anyone can go to work, the only advise is work from home if you can. The advise once you're at work is observe social distancing where possible. What in that stops a BCD game taking place now, or indeed anyone in general going back to work? Find...

    EFL Decision on Coventry’s future expected today

    Did cross my mind. Would imagine the viewing figures here for the first Bundesliga games will be by far the highest ratings they've ever had.

    Broad Lane / A45 Crash / Death

    This is so true. If you make a mistake just go with it and figure out how to get back on the right road, everyone has sat nav these days anyway. On more than one occasion I've seen people reversing on motorway junctions because they've fucked up or cutting across multiple lanes when they realise...

    They hadn't even been ordered at the point the government were saying it was on its way here in their daily briefing. No way after that they couldn't order it, probably hoped nobody would find out it was sat in a warehouse and of no use.
