So What Should Actually Happen - Poll

Gomes up front!

 

Makes sense. He's a really nice guy.

 

Yes. I wonder what he thinks about Bolsonaro nowadays?

 

Thinks it's the best vinegar going.

 

It'll be hilarious if Leeds bottle it now!

 

ITK account on Twitter says he’s signed a contract with Watford and will be loaned back to the Brazilian government until 2021.

 

Hopefully Nigel P will have set him straight.

 

According to SSN, up to 10 clubs (bottom half) in the PL want relegation scrapped in the event of the season being curtailed.

 

I can get 115 odd quid refunded. Bonus! And I get all those hours I would have spent at the ground back, to stay at home and do stuff.

 

I'm not sure that quite works.

 

Bit of a stretch I agree.

 

Except all the areas the players use at our ground are top class, were built for the Premier League and are only a couple of years old. And with no fans there I'm sure they can convert other areas too.

They're likely to have more trouble at Old Trafford than Vicarage Road.

 

Classic DM piece. We don’t know what the measures are and they haven’t been presented to the clubs yet. But a ‘source’ said some might struggle. We guess that some might be these clubs.

 

No problems at Turf Moor. They've sorted the showers out, anyway - half the pitch for the warm down, sprinklers on in the other half. Simples.

They could have a big problem with the dressing room, more seriously. It was built in the sixties, in the days when there were 12 players, the manager, they physio, and possibly 1 assistant. Rumour has it that it's been extended.

Or they could use the hospitality boxes. One each, if they like.

 

Sky saying that we've got a friendly lined up against Arsenal? Or just spouting nonsense?

"Watford are due to play their first behind-closed-doors game against Arsenal."

Both teams booting the ball over the hedge.

 

With Andre Gray in the team we're bound to win that.

 

When TD gets sent off for showing who has the biggest cojones, how many games will he be banned for ?

 

Two friendlies lined up apparently, with one of them being against Brentford.

As @lowerrous has previously said, the other one reported to be Arsenal - which would make sense given the proximity of the training grounds.

 

Most people donated theirs to the Charity fund .

 

The 4 Amazon Prime matches will be available free to those without an Amazon Prime subscription.

 

Without doubt.
Must lose game for Muff.
Muff 4 CP 0.

 

Troy was finally back in training today.

Penaranda seemed to feature quite a lot in the training vids on the club's Twitter page, with Deulofeu still not back for a while could we see him finally given a chance on the left wing?!

(Haha, psych, he'll never play for us)

 

"Just like a new signing".
I hear Barcelona were interested.

 

As with the Bundesliga, 5 subs will be allowed in the PL restart (with the 5 subs having to take place in a max of 3 intervals). There are also now 9 subs allowed on the bench.

On the one hand it's good for us because the stamina of a lot of our players is absolutely terrible, but on the other hand it's bad for us as our possible subs are all terrible as well.

Easy come, easy go.

Away at Burnley Thursday 25th
Home to Southampton Sunday 28th

... with Southampton having had 2 days more rest than us from playing on the Tuesday.

****

(Burnley get an extra day's rest for their next game)

How can that be right? Why can't they, for example, just swap our Thursday game with Palace v Pool on the Wednesday, thus giving at least giving us a 3 day gap between each match?
