We now have the most deaths in the world bar the USA. Football is not coming back anytime soon

Football and footballers at PL level appear to be wanting to have their cake and eat it. This is personified by Gordon Taylor with his demands and the suggestions he has been making. There are people losing their lives and businesses going to the wall but they appear to not get it. It’s a real crossroads for the PL and if they’re not careful they’ll lose a percentage of the supporter base. I know some on here aren’t lovers of TalkSPORT but this morning on the Jim White show some real sense was spoken by Simon Jordan.

Football won’t be returning this season

I turned over as soon as he started bigging up what an ambitious target they’d set themselves as it was obvious he was about to manipulate the figures. And to think they’re leading our response to this.

BA is just the start. The economy is in free fall and football will be a long way down the pecking order. The FA and PL need to wake up and smell the coffee

Football will not re-start in the near future. When social distancing will still be in the work places and other venues for many months to come it’s impossible for contact sport to start up again just like that. Schools are talking about reduced class sizes for the foreseeable future so the thought of players jostling at corners and having full contact just isn’t going to happen!! I listened to Simon Jordan on TalkSPORT this morning.........whatever you think of him or that channel have a listen and then make up your mind whether you think it’ll start up again.

Until social distancing policies change there will be no football in the UK. The moment the government let football do one thing whilst everyone else does something different will lead to everything that has been achieved so far being undone instantaneously.

I believe I worked out that his ‘track’ is 59M!

Actually it may be worse than that. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/premier-league-study-serie-plans-21860476

So they’re suggesting bars and restaurants won’t be open until Christmas at the earliest. You can add sports stadia to that list as well, if true. So is that behind closed doors football or no football until then? By the time we get back to ‘normal’ the football landscape, along with everything else, will look very very different.

Looking at what we know, what’s anticipated and the timescales forget about being in a full stadium much before the 2021/22 season. Then in order to accommodate social distancing stadium capacities may be halved.

All the best to your mum, you and your family at this difficult time.

I go and watch us away now pretty much. We play better and my lad an I get value for money. The prices at home are scandalous - conversely I think Liverpool only charged a fiver or tenner for my lads ticket recently. Oh.......and please don’t give me any of this ‘if you were a proper supporter’ because that’s hogwash. I’m an intelligent man that isn’t totally stupid enough to be brainwashed in to watching Saints serve up drivel every week with the expectation that I will blindly attend games. Our ST sales will plummet next season as will our attendances when we start badly, which we invariably will.

Emperors new clothes

Any advice on best way to get there? I’m arriving in to Euston. Thanks in advance to everyone.

I see that he has been inducted in to the hall of fame today. I heard his niece being interviewed and he was truly a trailblazer and great ambassador. What happened to him was tragic but he is an ex-Saint and he has my respect. RIP Justin, you’re not forgotten.

He worked incredibly hard yesterday and ran and harried more in the last 15 minutes he was on than Obefemi did for the time he played. Doesn’t score enough as we all know but we should keep him. A good honest pro and teams/clubs need players like that.

I’m in NZ on holiday. Just got up at 4am to watch and find I can’t access it here.

A Saints fan on 606 just suggested an England call up for him. Please god no...........the last thing we need.

No reason we can’t get a point

This is a financial decision not a football one. We won’t buy any quality in January and everyone knows it. Brace yourselves for the Championship because that’s where we’re headed. The Club is in a right mess and anybody thinking otherwise is deluded.

Said it before........emperors new clothes

We won’t win
