Thread | Brentford leaving Griffin Park
at 19:44 26 Jun 2020
It's possible Brentford fans will never get the chance to say a proper farewell to Griffin Park due to the pandemic. Not sure how I'd feel if that was us leaving Portman Road for pastures new without having a fan attended match as a goodbye. |

Thread | Interesting comment from O’Neill
at 18:50 9 Jun 2020
The target was making the Play Offs this year; I would have thought top two should have been the aim? Obviously both cases would seemingly be over-extending ourselves! |

Thread | So next season, if by some miracle we’re in the top two in March...
at 18:15 9 Jun 2020
We just ask for the season to end. Obviously it is fine to have an arbitrary point to call everything off and say that’s enough - declare the winners etc.? Why on Earth should we - or any club - look to play on and put promotion at risk? |

Thread | If The Guardian or The Mirror has something up their sleeve now may be the time
at 08:02 28 May 2020
Not a single article relating to Cummings (other than his ‘rise’ to his role at Downing Street) on the BBC front page. I can’t believe it but I think they might actually manage to front this out. Some were hopeful the papers had something else, alluded to by Peston on Monday, and if so now might be the time to regenerate some momentum. |

Thread | The Newcastle United takeover
at 21:20 5 May 2020
The moralistic side of me thinks that the overall Geordie celebration surrounding the takeover by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, considering the human rights abuses, is just another example of football's death. Someone who has been accused of ordering the execution of a journalist can be greeted with happiest and open arms because the football club is more important than this.
And yet if they had taken leave of their senses and offered a deal for Town to Marcus Evans would I be happy to accept the abuses for the chance of redemption and rebirth for the club? Morally definitely not but football wise...? |

Thread | Solutions to the football question
at 11:43 3 May 2020
This isn’t as much a thread in when or how football should restart but the form of games when it does. I personally feel it’s wrong not to finish this season as so much rides on it - if we were sitting where we should be we would want a chance to go up and there will be huge questions surrounding Bolton’s points deduction, for example, if this season is void.
Whenever football restarts I think this season needs to finish. If they need to curtail or change the format for next season then so be it; at least all clubs will be aware of the process prior to it starting. This does affect players on contracts which expire on 30th June so perhaps the transfer window should be opened if the season hasn’t restarted so they can sign for other clubs, or maybe an agreement in place between the PFA and the clubs for rolling contracts until the end of the season proper. This is the hardest issue to solve.
But I don’t think it’s in the competition’s interest to scrap the season altogether even though I fear that’s what they’ll decide to do. |

Thread | So at which point is the cure more deadly than the disease?
at 14:16 30 Apr 2020
I presume the above is one point which will be considered when debating the relaxing of lockdown restrictions - when do the measures currently in place have a more devastating effect on mental health, partially as a result of seclusion and financial woes, which in many cases could result in hospitalisation and/or an increase in suicide rates when compared to those who fall ill and pass from Covid-19? And how close are we to this already? This isn’t taking into account those who fear visiting hospital because of the virus resulting in illnesses not being screened and treated adequately.
It’s such a fine balance between the two and I honestly don’t know if there’s a clear definitive answer to the question. [Post edited 30 Apr 14:16]

Thread | How can we generate more PPE?
at 09:46 13 Apr 2020
Obviously we can discuss the prior issues of stockpiling expense but we are where we are now unfortunately - how can we ensure enough PPE is created and distributed to those who need it, considering I presume all factories involved in manufacture are working flat out. Maybe take Amazon delivery drivers off day-to-day purchases to help delivery to hospitals and social care providers? But if manufacture is the issue how can that be increased? |
