I have a lot of sympathy with the letter. It has to be all or nothing. It makes no sense that other sectors of the entertainment industry is allowed to start limited reopening but football isnât.
Then again we are missing three players with it.
As nice as the sentiment is, when fans groups were asking for them to show games til fans were back they steadfastly refused until the last hour and they are still dragging there feet announcing them.
What they mean is they care about the wallet in the fans pocket⌠not the fans. And Iâm not that cynical usually but itâs obvious.
Footballers should retrain and get new jobs.
It doesnât have to be all or nothing. In fact the public health approach to this situation is precisely the opposite.
The argument from the PL is the equivalent of bar owners saying ârestaurants are open so we need to open as wellâ. The unfairness of the distinction might be a fair point to argue, but it ignores that the restaurants shouldnt be open rather than another sector of the super spreader economy should be free to resume operations.
Iâd love to see some of these spoilt prima donnas stacking shelves at Tesco on minimum wage instead of taking selfies in Dubai on a speedboat.
Pickford stacking shelves,Kane answering customer service calls,prison officer Maguire.
Youâre right - all or nothing is a poor choice of words on my part.
But I canât help thinking you are more at risk sitting in a boozer than at a football match.
I wouldnât put Harry Maguire in a position of responsibility in a prison. He lose the keys.
Come on now Kane on customer service, he would need a interpreter and possibly someone wiping up the spits. 
Presumably only the ones low down.
Way I see it is the travelling and social side of it, sitting socially distanced in the stands yeah, but you donât magically end up there.
No club under the championship will be able to implement all that and make any money if Iâm honest.
First-team players called up: Kelleher, Van Dijk, Gomez, R.Williams, Koumetio, Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Neco, Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Keita, Jones, Wilson, Jota, Minamino, Origi, Firmino and Elliott.
I was pissed about Keita and Minamino being called up for friendlies, but I guess those two games would be good for Takumi since he had limited pitch time so far. Same applies to Wilson and the young lads.
Would have liked Van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Wijnaldum and Keita to excuse themselves and stay home on some spurious ground if necessary and surely Firmino doesnât warrant a call up based on his form in 2020?
However, following that shellacking maybe that lot will benefit a break with another team to reset?
complete joke these internationals are happening
iâm taking the attitude that the villa debacle is actually a blessing because this season is going to be cancelled and before kickoff everyone had us walking the league again
Id also ask what is the point? Ive sat in a big empty stadium watching a game and itâs properly shit (Wednesday when they were in the third division and got <10,000 fans).
Recent behaviour might have had Maquire on the other side of the bars.
Shambolic that its costing that much - once again, fuck general punters.
Iâll be hunting out dodgy streams for any Liverpool games, rather than paying Sky even more money - bunch of cunts.
Thin end of a very large wedge. I can see this âinterim solutionâ becoming the default in future. I think the PL and TV companies are in danger of significantly over-valuing the product, which is damaged without any crowds there. The spectacle is not the same.
Also, I canât be the only one whoâs thinking this season is going to be disrupted again, possibly even curtailed. given the way things are going with COVID. Makes it hard to really get into it in the same way as before and games not involving Liverpool no longer hold much interest.
Crazy. In Oz you could pay $99 (55 pounds) up to 30/9 with Optus to watch all games for the entire PL season; plus CL, Europa, Euro qualifiers and a host of others thrown in.
