Premier League 2020/21

[Lineker]

Mugs.

[Baddar]

Unfortunately, the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal being on PPV this weekend mean they'll do far bigger numbers then.

[METALMAN]

If that is true good for the West Brom and Burnley fans (assuming there are more than 74 of them) for going without and not participating in this nonsense.

Petr Cech is on Chelsea's Premier League squad list.

I find this interesting because Notts County's home games have been streamed for £12 and they've been getting about 2,500 viewers. The major difference is that the money goes straight to the club, rather than filtering through the Sky Sports web.

But for live football? I can't grasp what the setup is, you're watching the actual match on the telly and you have these two chumps on a second screen whingeing? Is this why football Twitter is so bad, because people think that this is what football supporters are, two lads watching telly? Do they do this when fans are in, i.e. don't actually go to games?

I know for the Anfield Wrap ones they use an app called Hot Mic. It automatically syncs up to the match you're watching via the audio. You can just leave it off to the side on your phone, mute the TV, and listen to them instead.

I can't speak for any other form of fan media but The Anfield Wrap are a fairly high level of discourse around sport. Their live commentaries I've found to be a nice mix of insightful commentary on the game and occasionally some creative swearing. 

It's almost like listening to radio commentary for me. It has the same feel.

But then again, I have no idea what level other fan media is like because it's literally the only one I know.

This is so weird.

And to nobodies surprise, Mesut Ozil isn’t in our 25-man squad, nor is Sokratis.

I think if the £15 had been going directly to Newcastle United that food bank would've made about 5 times as much...

I think it's safe to say I've peaked in life.

64th in the Everton rank? Chuffing 'eck.

I'm just in the top 40,000

Ed Woodward delivering financial results (only results that matter ) and said this:

Ed Woodward re European Premier League: "I saw reports. Don’t know where it came from."

Ed Woodward asked about European Super League: "Candidly don't know where that story came from. Isn't anything for us to say. We're engaged on a very regularly basis with ECA + UEFA about changes in CL from 2024. Maybe 36 teams. They're conversations we're actively involved in."

— Laurie Whitwell (@lauriewhitwell) October 21, 2020

Now I don't trust him, but journos have made up or embellished plenty of stories about a Euro Prem in the past, so I don't exactly trust Sky or ESPN either.

[9 to 5]

36 team champions league would work: 9 groups of 4, knock-out round with 18 teams, bring it down to 9, hope one team withdraws due to too many players with covid and then just resume normal practice with 8 teams in the quarter finals.

Troy Deeney now has a column with The Sun.

[FestiveJack]

Ew.

[Benjamin]

No idea how this game is still 0-0.

Nobody has scored any goals.

[Kyle]

I'd like to thank Leeds for ensuring that we are the only unbeaten team in the league (until Sunday). Barring a seven goal swing between us and Liverpool, we're also fairly likely to end the weekend still top.  

[Matt]

Our most comprehensive result but yet probably our least deserved, Villa outplayed us for long periods moreso than anyone other than maybe City. Villa will finish top half this season no bother.

[Baddar]

Man City dropped more points today, 1-1 draw with West Ham.
