Next Season Build up

Postby PeterParker » Wed Aug 19, 2020 8:34 pm

Tomorrow they will announce the fixtures and the new season is due to start in 3 weeks.

What do we know so far about us.
I reckon the players need some time off after this fiasco, but I don't think that will happen.

What about friendlies?

Yes, our fixture against Villa is postponed so we start away at Wolves (no fans) on Saturday the 19th (unless moved to Sunday/Monday for TV).

Normal service for the armchairs, absolute shambolic state of affairs for SC holders and match going fans alike . Totally underwhelming tbh , prob be new year before I attend a home game .
Not really here

The lack of engagement in this thread would appear to suggest that there's a lot of apathy.

I’ve never been less excited for a season. Between lack of fans, short break, disappointment and Liverpool I just can’t get hyped. Come Game one I hope that changes.
Tracking back is overrated.

I can't wait. Love that its back right away. Excited to see a "new" squad with a handful of turnover. Hoping to see us put up a better fight this season. The schedule and amount of football in close proximity will be madness and injuries and squad depth/rotation will be crucial more than ever. With the cups and intl football it's something like one match every 3-4 days for most of the season.

It’s hard to focus on anything other than business and various economies right now - Football without fans is shit and I have not enjoyed any of it .Hopefully the powers that be now understand how important the fucking fans areinstead of treating them like shit .

Pep in Barcelona, says here he will have to self isolate on his return, I thought the club had arrangements that ensured players and officials were tested on return, am i right?

Part of the ‘99 team and is coaching the birds team - so he’s alright by me.

Would I bum him in to next week? Nah.

Thought elite sportsman and women were exempt? And they get tested twice a week so the 14 day thing doesn't count?

Mail probably just making it up as they go along!

The fucking governments are making it up as they go along mate - Being exempt if your a worker but everyone else has to lock themselves up for 14 days is complete and utter total bollocks .

Fuck me sideways - my state of mind is reaching boiling point over these absurd measures .

P.s not every worker gets tested - that’s BS Excuse to justify then being exempt .

I know for a fact BA staff don’t get tested ,apart from temperature , and they are exempt from any 14 day lockdown bollocks.
