    and if Liverpool don't win the League by the Everton game, they'll have to continue playing at neutral venues until they do

    What about Charlton Millwall?

    Perhaps they'll play it in Carlisle to be safe  :D

    League One surely have to decide what they want to do soon?

    If they want to resume, the players will surely need to start training now, it would be daft to have L1 resuming weeks after the top 2 divisions

    They just want to be on tv. Prem finishes & then Sky can show Accrington v Burton.

    As soon as I heard some players weren't coming back due to pregnant partners I figured Sarr would be one of them. A shame. Lockyer too is a real blow. I wonder if they'll change their minds at any point...

    As for playing behind closed doors, I am not sure whether that would benefit us or not. Our away fans tend to give great support. Home fans? Hmm. Or am I 'digging out' ;)
    Keep reading mate, I think BeckenSarr is due back in training today.

    Forgive me if I've missed something, but people have Field in their teams and squads. Do we know that he's both fit and coming back from West Brom? It sounded like when he got hurt this last time his season was over. I know we'll be into June by the time things restart, but wondering if there's been an update on him I've missed.

    Also, either way, a fit and firing JFC will be huge for us. We don't have a lot of creativity in midfield (not counting the 10s), and we saw two years ago that he can create and score goals. He's looked off all year, understandably so. But he's done it at this level before and I'm holding on to the hope that this mini-pre-season does him a world of good. I wonder if he overtrained a bit last Spring and Summer and perhaps burnt himself out a bit working so hard to come back from injury. I'm hoping this break will have helped him recalibrate.

    Field's loan was never terminated - He simply returned to West Brom to get treatment on his latest injury which is why we got Matt Smith as the sixth loanee

    Local press in Birmingham seem to hint that he's fit again now which means that if he's fit again now he should return to us provided that he's happy to do so

    That was a few weeks ago though, and we've not had any recent confirmation from the player or Bowyer that he will be returning. That OS story (the one mentioning Davis not returning) didn't mention him either

    Yeah that's what I was thinking. Not an unreasonable assumption FA, just one of those where I'll wait and see.

    Can anyone recommend a streaming site that I can watch our games on.. I have tried a few in the past that claim to be streaming matches but they never load. One I'm still paying 19,99 a month for one of them as I set up a card payment. Robbing bastards lol

    Given the Bundesliga appears to have returned without any problems, other European leagues have now returned too (off the top of my head Czech, Denmark, Serbia, Austria, Hungary, Poland), La Liga to return soon and then Serie A and then finally the premier league, i wonder if the French and Dutch leagues now feel they were a bit hasty in ending their season?
    Belgium joined France and NL in ending. The thing about the other countries you mention is that most of them have kept the infection rate low, other than Germany, so back in early April the situation in those countries compared with the voiders looked a bit different. The other thing that marks them out is low attendances at typical league games. With hindsight for sure the voiders may now wonder, but personally I respect them for putting safety ahead of wonga.

    I could be wrong, but I saw reports online of a new TV deal from next season in France that would have been affected had they not started next season in time, they were worried about that and that was why they voided so early

    Is it any clearer who isn't going to be playing for us? Some teams may have massive problems if they have a siginificant number of players, especially in kep positions, (for understandable reasons) rule themselves out e.g both keepers, centre-backs, strikers etc. This could have quite an effect on results

    fully expect there to be thousands of scousers outside the ground wherever they play and win the title

    Genuine LOL because same.

    This feels like taking the piss. Like, we can cancel the FA Cup. I know I'm both not English and of that generation that just doesn't quite value the Cup competitions like those that came before me. But given that bringing football back is a risk, why are we looking for more risks? (It's money. I know, it's money)

    I don't think that's entirely fair. Playing FA Cup matches is no riskier than PL matches, especially as it's all PL sides left anyway. It might be different if a L1 side was still in it.

    As @Chris_from_Sidcup said, the Czech league has resumed and last night Sparta Prague played Viktoria Plzen. (Viktoria won 2-1  :D ) Some drive in cinemas have been set up during the Covid period, and this one in Plzen showed the game live. 150 car capacity was sold out...

    Why would City v Newcastle and Man U v Sheff Utd need a neutral venue?

    Moving Liverpool games because they don't want loads of scousers travelling to an away game only makes sense if their home games will be played at a neutral venue too? Because a lot more are going to turn up at Anfield on a matchday than would travel away.

    Otherwise they're surely just giving Liverpool even more of an advantage by ensuring that 3 of their away games will not be proper away games at all. How is it fair if (an extreme long shot i know) City start to reel Liverpool in but because Liverpool can win the league, the game gets moved away from the Etihad?!

    I'm going to go on record before anyone (I think) and guess that our Premier League friendly will be against Palace.
