The Fish

What, this one?

Anything is possible

Samesies!

Tidy up the cables man. Or can't you afford them, what with being on the breadline? (fuck, didn't see Alex's pithier jab)

Aye, that's my take. They're taking as long as possible to at least give the appearance of diligence and consideration. There may be long conversations about the piracy issue, but these won't be issues that weren't expected by the prospective new owners, surely?

What's this sorcery?

Also, it's being delayed by parties wanting to use the attention for their own agendas. Some of them have every right to do it (Khasoggi's widow) and others are just cunts (Giles Watling). The rights issue will surely be resolved to everybody's satisfaction when a Saudi broadcaster win the rights for the MENA region in 2022?

Soon have you thwipping with the best of them.

It was great tv and Renton is wrong again.

Wise up, jabroni.

Possibly, but that's what comes from having more mates than you, that's just math. You knicker sniffing, pinball-bothering, frequent-flouncing dramaqueen.

Well she's an ingrate then, isn't she? She should have come round mine. Home made pesto pasta or a divine chicken curry. DIVINE!

Hate it when people are ignorant like this. Manchester has some great restaurants and if Angel Di Maria lived where loads of footballers live ther's fucking loads on her doorstep. She's right about what some women wear mind.

Your "fucking chickens"? that's disgusting, I'm calling PETA.

Eurgh, fine, Germany then.

How'd you stop morons turning up at Anfield/Old Trafford in their droves? Play the games in China.

Is the proposal to play at neutral venues purely to reduce the risk of home fans turning up to the ground? I've been operating under the assumption that that suggestion would be resisted by the players, staff and everyone else who'd need to be involved.

It's not about perfection, there is no perfect solution. It's what solution is most fair and relegating a side when they've not played a full season and are on the same number of points as another team is not fair. Their lawyers would have a field day. Void this season and it's fair to everyone. Nobody is promoted, nobody relegated. Plus, Liverpool are denied the title, Leeds miss out on promotion again, mackems guaranteed to spend a 3rd season in the 3rd tier of English football. Win fucking win.

No they aren't. Villa have played fewer games than the teams above them for a start. 1 win and they leapfrog three teams into safety. https://ibb.co/FgC1RdT[/img] That run in is not the same for each team. Not least because Villa have played fewer games than the teams above them. Managers would have identified games to target for 3 points in that run, had they known the season would be without those games, they would have approached the season differently, wouldn't they? Personally, I say void the season.

Because if it isn't mathematically sure, then it shouldn't be forced upon a team. Watford, West Ham and Bournemouth are split by 0pts and 3 goals. There's no way you can say that any of them deserve to drop more than the other two. If Relegation was purely an abstract, it wouldn't matter, but relegation to the Championship would be financially catastrophic for the likes of West Ham. The type of loss that would not go without challenge if the cause was unfair.

The only other option is relegate teams, which isn't fair unless they're already mathematically down. It would surely create legal problems up and down the leagues. An extra 2 fixtures per team is doable in the Premier League, but the thing I suggested would mean the lower leagues have the same number of games that they'd normally have.

He took some convincing that the poor sap with the toontastic handle on twitter, wasn't actually a representative of this parish.

I would have thought it would make sense to promote the two in the automatic places of the championship, promote 2 from League 1, 3 from League 2 given Bury's exclusion? You'd have 22 in the Premier League, 24 in the Championship, 24 in League 1 and 24 in League 2 after a 1 off play off for promotion from the National League?
