Tielemans63 Posted 30 May 2020 Posted 30 May 2020 A bit of a random one here but I'm watching NRL this morning and they're using artificial crowd noises. I thought I'd hate that but it actually makes it feel much more like the real thing. Beats the deathly silence of the Bundesliga games anyway. Whoever is doing it is doing an amazing job of mixing it live so it all sounds like genuine reaction.

LestaAl Posted 30 May 2020 Posted 30 May 2020 ...struggling to remember anything about football after several months of lock down and delivering shopping and prescriptions for the old biddies in the village. Would be fantastic to sink 4/5 pints in the pub and see LCFC win against anyone!
weller54 Posted 30 May 2020 Posted 30 May 2020 Bit of fist pumping at the podium.. Start the PL! Get West Ham gone! Stay Alert!
murphy Posted 30 May 2020 Posted 30 May 2020 Only 21 sleeps til Watford as Gene Pitney never sang. It will be really interesting to see which teams adapt best to the break and the empty stadia. Seems like a lottery to me. It will be such an anti-climax if we lose!
Leicester_Loyal Posted 30 May 2020 Posted 30 May 2020 BBQ and beers first game of the season, trying to get myself excited for it somehow.
Livid Posted 30 May 2020 Posted 30 May 2020 Can we all agree never to mention mid season breaks ever again

sacreblueits442 Posted 30 May 2020 Posted 30 May 2020 ...the five subs rule really only benefits the big boys and if this is carried into law it will be the equivalent of FFP!!! The big teams with their budgets can in effect carry a larger and more proficient squad. This will force teams with a lesser budget to attempt to carry a larger wage load than is possible, in contrast, to their incoming revenue. Who ever decided that this is a good idea, then they have got it wrong.
Ginger_Filbert Posted 31 May 2020 Posted 31 May 2020 Has anyone got or seen a fixture list for the new dates? Or will we be carrying on from Watford away?

Probably sorting TV stuff - I did wonder for a while if they would try and keep the venues under wraps to stop fans travelling to neutral venues but surely they’ll have to tell us soon! I’m bricking it tbh - just hope we can stay top four without the wheels coming off!
foxile5 Posted 31 May 2020 Posted 31 May 2020 Had an ace dream last night that Liverpool threw it all away.

Thinking back to the utmost professionalism with they dealt with us on Boxing Day after their WCC break, I expect them to steamroller their first two games and put it to bed
Stoopid Posted 31 May 2020 Posted 31 May 2020 Can't wait- Turned on the telly this morning and was surprised to be greeted by The Big Match Revisited and the delightful sight of LCFC stuffing Arsenal 4 - 1 at Filbert St. Frankie, Keith, Admiral kits and all! Made me realise just how much I've missed it all. Bring it on!

Mate the rules been introduced to help keep the tempo of the game up after players have been off for 3 months and us needing to cram games in. Besides this rule will give opportunities to younger players for game time with the 2 extra subs.

Some teams have a style of play that does not.lend itself to a contradictory approach to their game. If this is a short-term reach by the F.A. then I can understand, to some degree, where they are coming from but an implementation as a Law, would.only lead to purchasing players, not for the first eleven but just to improve their "bench".

The issue for us is we don't have 5 decent squad players you'd want bringing on anyway. Certainly not game changers.

The prem is played at a higher tempo, higher physicality than most other leagues. Even if you aren't playing high tempo, fresh legs to secure up a lead is important. A lot of teams already buy squad players to improve their squad. As @Ric Flair has said, we don't have 5 game changers on the bench, but it'll certainly give youth players a potential opportunity to play.
Super_horns Posted 31 May 2020 Posted 31 May 2020 Can you see relegation being scrapped if the Championship doesn't end as has been suggested? Or somehow no relegation but 3 teams comomg up .. Which also has been muted as an idea but I cannot see the League allowing 23 teams next season given the extra match days that would be nedded.. and increase in relegation spots. Personally feel if the season ends as normal no one can complain about relegation really.
