Try and find The Damned United to watch. That will go some way to explaining.

I don't even know people my age dislike Leeds, we just kind of do. They went spectacularly bust in the early 2000s and there was no sympathy what so ever. The reaction from pretty much everywhere was: "Off you fuck"

I think the fanbase has a bit of a rough reputation. I certainly remember them having trouble with both Cardiff and Millwall (those guys again). I've got a friend who supports Wednesday and he said that there are only two away grounds he hides his shirt at; Bramall Lane (obviously) and Elland Road.

 

The Damned United, what a film. Best football related film by a longshot, not even close. Clough, what a man. Born just down the road from me.

 

Interesting, comes after Netherlands government put a ban on any & all 'major events'. I don't think this will happen to any of the "big 5 leagues" but you never know.

 

Arthur to Spurs is the rumor today. I don’t know why the papers even bother making that one up. No clue why Barca would sell him haha

 

@orangehorizon good decision or no?

 

Bundesliga could return but Eredivisie is going to be cancelled?

 

Could well be the case, but the Germany FA's proposal says they want to allow a small number of fans to attend the games. I admittedly have very little knowledge of what may or may not be safe in a few weeks time, but I don't really see them agreeing to that.

 

uh, what?

 

Coronavirus and sport: Eredivisie cancelled because of pandemic

 

It doesn't feel right to me, as much as I would love to have football back. They will need around 20000 tests reserved for the players (every player is supposed to be tested at least once a week). Right now it looks like we do have the testing capacity for it, but who knows how the situation will be in some weeks. And I would rather see that doctors and nurses get tested regularly first, which is still not the case.

 

I think it’s far far too soon to be thinking of football coming back.

 

I read that the players may have to wear masks while playing if they do come back on May 9th - that would be very difficult & uncomfortable wouldn't it?!

 

If they wear them properly yeah. They’re really uncomfortable and warm. I can barely walk with one on, let alone run.

 

Barca look set to sell the Nou Camp naming rights to a cannabis firm founded by ex boxer Mike Tyson.

 

Awesome. Will really help the push to liberalise in Europe.

 

Nou Dank.

 

Ha. Isn't it just for a year and all for charity/fighting coronavirus?

 

Tanguy shooting down all the rumors makes me happy. His potential is still through the roof.

 

PSG's owner is kicking off and saying they will play their Champions League games outside of France if they have to.

 

Di Marzio saying Spurs are close to getting Koulibaly. No way it happens.

 

I really want that club to implode.

 

I’m not saying I miss footy but there’s a Netflix original series from Canada based around a fake Montreal U-21 MLS team called 21 Thunder and it’s horrific and I’m five episodes in.

 

Newcastle apparently offering Poch £19m per year

 

Watch them pay £100m for Sancho this summer
