Football The 2020/2021 Season Thread

Surely it would be added onto next year?

Also, the columnist wrote 'My understanding all along has been even if Derby were to lose the appeal it would not result in a points' deduction.'

I'm not really bothered if we go down tbh, might be a good reality check.

I think it will be a points deduction, but they're usually applied to the season after. Possibly a special case here as it's been rolling on for so long.

 

[Gwadien]

We went down, I'm actually looking forward to it, we might win the odd game next season.

Burton away is pretty good, they have terrace stands, although I don't think that's uncommon in League 1 + 2?

It would be pretty shitty if they decided to add it on at the end of the season tbh.

That's my totally unbias view.

I agree with you, I think it would be harsh, but there is an argument it had a direct effect on the season so it's not outside the realms of possibility. Look what happened to Wigan.

Wigan Athletic relegated after losing appeal against 12-point penalty

Wigan's relegation to League One is confirmed after they lose their appeal against a 12-point deduction for going into administration.

www.bbc.co.uk

However, the article states that Wigan's punishment was in the current season because it was administration, and Sheff Weds put on the season after because it was disciplinary.

Serie A threatening to kick Juve out if they don't withdraw from the Super League

 

[Raven]

At this point I don't understand why they haven't pulled out, what is the point of a league of 3?

EUFA should just tell all 3 to get on with it, enjoy their super league.

Edit, and ban the rest of them for a couple of seasons. They won't though because of money.

 

[Ormorof]

What is EUFA seen it a few times in this thread now?

 

[Raven]

Typo, conditioning I guess

UEFA*

Probably because they're 5th in the league lol

Burnley aren't charging for their first game back with fans. Nice touch. I think I might adopt them for next season, and Dyche lives 2 minutes walk from me, so I can yell through his letter box when they lose.

Don't you live Northampton way? That's some commute for him!

 

[Raven]

Yeah, I have never understood why he still lives here. He finished his playing career at Northampton, and he must have fallen in love with the local er... maybe he is just settled, he does have a ridiculous house though. One of his kids went to school with one of my nieces and my brother in law used to speak to him now and again on the school run, really nice bloke by all accounts.

 

[caLLous]

He shares a flat in Burnley with one of his assistant coaches during the week iirc.

Chelsea have just been too slow at offloading, Mount has also been terrible at corners, in essence a shitty performance all round.

Can't take away from the Arsenal defending though. They've stood up brilliantly tonight,

They did but it wasn't only them, it was partly our slow build up play that constantly allowed them to get back in place. Also at times we were slow to use gaps instead choosing to pass again.

Jorginho still boils my piss, he just makes so many pointless passes, then when he has a space in front wanting someone to be in it he doesn't have the thought of running in that space.

Haha, UEFA moved the final to Porto because the UK would not relax quarantine rules for 2000 corporates. Fuck the fans though, pathetic.

Why didnt they move it to wembly. Stupid

 

[Embattle]

To me it is again a sign that UEFA/FIFA should be next to be given some Super League treatment.

elite football really is a fucking shitshow

 

[caLLous]

United fans seem determined to get their team a points deduction.

Technically fans may not be able to enter Portugal anyway.

Portugal: No decision yet on UK holiday travel

The country has yet to decide whether it will allow holiday visits as it extends state of calamity.

I've never rated Maguire but United looked a fucking shambles without him

 

[Raven]

He's decent, he's just not £lol decent.

 

[caLLous]

I've never rated Maguire but United looked a fucking shambles without him

To be fair they've looked a shambles with him from time to time this season as well. I just don't think they were at it tonight - maybe it's because they know they're guaranteed to be in the CL next season and they have a EL final coming up.

 

[Raven]

Taken from the beeb.

A spot the ball shot if ever I saw one.

 

[gmloki]

What a load of utter fucking shite from us.

For the past 20-30 years we have had the opportunity to knock teams out of a champions league spot / europa league spot. Relegate the fuckers, but no, thats not how United do things.

Make no bones about it, this was not prime '78 Brazil turning up at Old Trafford tonight despite what Tyler, Neville, Carragher would have you believe, this was the worst defending league champions for many a decade, but no we had to give them more than inch. Frimino, stealing a living for two years and bags a brace. TAA, let's be fair the kid is no Cafu and couldn't cross a road in recent months.

Cock Off Bailly, Cock Off Lindeldof

 

[Embattle]

Chelsea again too slow and not converting chances.

 

[Aoami]

Great finish by Tielemens though
