Football Talk

Thought I would start off a thread, bit of friendly banter not too heavy and an opportunity to express your ideas about your favourite team.

What are you hoping for in the January transfer market?

As a Liverpool fan I am hoping for cover for Mane and the front 3.

Breaking news...

Football legend Sir Kenny Dalglish has been tested positive for coronavirus but shows no signs of symptoms.

He was admitted to hospital on Wednesday with an infection and was routinely tested.

Kenny`s family have issued this statement

 "He would like to take this opportunity to thank the brilliant NHS staff, whose dedication, bravery and sacrifice should be the focus of the nation's attention at this extraordinary time.

"Prior to his admission to hospital, Sir Kenny had chosen to voluntarily self-isolate for longer than the advised period together with his family. He would urge everyone to follow the relevant government and expert guidance in the days and weeks ahead.

"He looks forward to being home soon. We will provide further updates as and when it is appropriate."

Get better soon, Kenny.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

Personally I think the rest of the season will be played behind closed doors

Anyone think the same?

From the beeb -

League Two football clubs vote to end the season, but the decision still needs to be ratified

[Cleoriff]

Yes with those promoted going up but no-one relegated. . Not sure how that would work?

Swindon, Crewe & Plymouth i think I saw. League one teams failed to agree & I know in the Championship that Forest are going to start a legal bid if the 2 top teams get promoted.

I'd rather Leeds won it far & square so we can't have any of the **** that Liverpool have been suffering & will suffer again if they are awarded the title without completing the season.

Problem is, I doubt Cov would ever be as lucky again!!

[jonsie]

Nor me. What should not happen is that clubs who have been on the brink of promotion, being denied their rightful place in the next tier.

It would obviously mean more teams in the divisions so an extra maximum of six games. That would mean also that next season would have to be extended by either starting early or finishing later.

And I don't hold with the idea of players being tired. Us older ones will remember playing every day!

The leagues could then be reduced in a similar way that they were reduced in times before.

Rumour has the WSL (women's premier league) is going to bin off the rest of this season tomorrow...
