[Sniffer]

124, enjoyed that. Spelling let me down on a few.

I included 8 that I couldn't spell!

Nice one Now TV:

We want to make sure we’re doing the right thing for our customers. We’re aware that your NOW TV Football Season Ticket will be ending soon and there are currently no official dates or plans in place for the remainder of the 2019-20 Premier League & EFL season.

The situation is constantly changing, but the Premier League & EFL are currently looking at ensuring the 2019-20 season is completed as soon as it’s safe to do so. So to make sure you don’t miss a moment of the action if the season recommences later, we’ll be extending your NOW TV Football Season Ticket - free of charge - for another month, and will continue to extend it until we know more about how the season will end.

You don’t need to do anything. Just make sure your Pass is active, not cancelled, and we’ll extend it at no extra cost to you before it expires. We’ll be back in touch once this is done and we’ll also let you know of any further extensions to your Sky Sports Pass if they’re necessary.

Quiz time...

I got 129

Pretty much impossible to do in one go because of having to scroll down, so wrote them all down and typed them in. Got 142 and missed England’s record goal scorer. Ro someone..., no can’t get it. FFS. Also missed another 3 Man Utd players who I’ve watched play against about 6x in the last year and a bit.

Certainly kept me occupied for an hour

German leagues close to restarting. May 9th has been agreed but the Government need to approve. Obviously behind closed doors.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

There is a Bundestag meeting on 30 April.

That should end all debate. One for all you niche Partridge fans out there.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

So the players aren't really being given much time to get back up to speed?

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Bayern already training aren't they?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Are they!?

The Germans are taking the piss out of us aren't they!!! Way, way less deaths, and now they are getting their football back :icon_sad:

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Premier League clubs getting ready to return to training on the 9th May and have 3-4 weeks of in-season-pre-season before games restart (that is according to Alan Nixon so may be bollocks)

 

[Kenny]

Rhyl FC have initiated the formal Winding-Up of the company. Going to be the first of many across the UK.

Most of the North Wales teams that get into Europe play their games at Rhyl as it is 1 of 2 Stadiums in the North that meet the UEFA standards (not inc the teams that play in the English leagues)

 

[Sniffer]

National League clubs have voted to end their seasons now. No news yet on what will happen with promotion/relegation issues.

 

[BGreenWolf]

The Dutch have banned all professional football, behind closed doors or otherwise, until September.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Have they got anybody left in Europe? Alkmaar maybe?

That could cause UEFA a bit of a headache.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Everything cancelled in the Netherlands. No-one wins the league, no-one goes up, no-one goes down.

Don’t know the ins and outs of the situation of covid In Holland, but this sort of thing easier to do in tin pot leagues.

They’ve got no representation in europe so no issues there but not sure who qualifies for next years tournaments.

Don’t know the ins and outs of the situation of covid In Holland, but this sort of thing easier to do in tin pot leagues.

They’ve got no representation in europe so no issues there but not sure who qualifies for next years tournaments.

Their Government saying no sport before September even behing closed doors gave them little choice. Ours won't do that because of the financial values involved

European qualification is for the individual league to decide based on "sporting integrity", which is vague but does mean not on UEFA coefficients

 

[Pompey Wolf]

They’ve proposed European qualification based on the current/final positions so Ajax and AZ into CL qualifying, Feyenoord into EL group stage and PSV and Willem II into EL qualifiers.

 

[jd1981]

Really wouldn’t want to be the one who calls this if they have to in English football.
I think the PL & EFL will wait until it’s impossible to play out the season before making the decision.
At least then they can say they gave it every chance to complete it.
Someone is going to get screwed over, if it’s done on PPG then Villa & Bournemouth will be filing some pretty big law suits against the PL.

It's paper talk but we might see football before the end of may
