I like to think our consistency of being sh1t will continue. I don't think my brian could process looking forward to an Everton game.

Unless the lads got super powers from Corona Virus I can't see any sort of upset :pac:

Best case scenario I would say 1-1

It's hard to know how teams will start because of the break and also their mentality. Burnley, Palace, Everton, Newcastle & Southampton are all midtable and probably won't get European football through league position Apr get relegated so is there a real desire to win games now. Although Everton have a new manager to impress to keep their place at the club and Newcastle too have new owners & the threat of being sold on hanging over their heads.

I think overall, teams that are more possession based should have an advantage with the games being played behind closed doors.

All good in latest round of testing.

Anyone know if there is a live feed or even live twitter updates of the case?

I fully expect City to make a mockery of FFP rules over the coming days and have their ban overturned. Really is pathetic, what’s the point in the rules if clubs can just lawyer up and get it over turned.

While it’s amusing watching city fans try to make out that they are victims of some conspiracy against them, they are right about uefa and indeed FIFA being run by a bunch of muppets.

Meanwhile , the EPL May have another Questionable Middle Eastern owner. That league is like Lord Voldemort , splitting its soul into multiple pieces to stay alive.....

Miguel Delaney has stated that UEFA have sent their 'A' legal team for this one and are quite bullish on this case. Be interesting anyway. I have no respect for clubs like City or PSG. Will be disgusted to see Newcastle go that way too.

Listening to one of the pods tonight and they were saying on June 1st Newcastle once again took direct debit payments off season ticket holders for next season even after the outrage of doing it the first time during the pandemic they went ahead and did it again.

Any word of any updated squads for this season? Anyone released/loan ended etc. And will players returning from loan spells be eligible for their parent clubs?

I know Loris Karius for instance can't train with Liverpool yet as even though his loan contract was terminated, he can't register for his parent club until the window opens and he can't play for Liverpool this season (I know he wouldn't anyway but just using the example). It's the same with Alexis Sanchez and Chris Smalling if their loans end without being extended, they can't play. Same with any returning loan player so the majority of the time they're being extended, Victor Moses another one.

Also with Liverpool, Harry Wilson has extended his Bournemouth loan and Adam Lallana has signed a 1 month contract extension so both will finish the season with the teams they played for before this all started. Nathaniel Clyne however, is expected to be released before July. Brewster should stay with Swansea in another loan extension.

Tomas Soucek also extended with West Ham, Ighalo extended with United. Sidibe is likely to extend loan at Everton
