We are all expected to be sad about this 99 year old dying. Ludicrous. I'm off to the politics thread to have a rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzFOX Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 I'm sorry but if this is the Queen we are talking about I have no issues with the entire world grinding to halt to pay respects but Prince Philip seriously? Can this not be something more low key like a minutes silence? I'll probably get flamed by the die hard royals now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Friday TV viewing figures are quite telling of how the RF are now viewed (Queen excepted). Channel 4 had more viewers than the other four traditional channels combined and ITV went below a million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both The Queen and Philip were great great grandchildren of Queen Victoria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisp packet Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 One thing I learned in 2016 . Was too stop watching our rivals play . Last season we lost both our full backs and our creative midfielder in the run in . This after losing our main holding midfielder for a few months prior . Was playing against teams with much stronger squads due too 5 subs being allowed and in four quarter games ! WE HAVE BEEN A TOP FOUR TEAM FOUR TWO SEASONS, EXCEPT FOR THE DAY THAT MATTERED LAST SEASON. We are a very good team . I expect a Win today to go back 5 clear . Home straight, business end of the season. Massive 7 days for the football club . Enjoy it 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why they have to have the same two people for all this in depth analysis they should give other ex-players more of an input and not just those the played for the Rich 6.

If this is the case it might be more to do with the lack of atmosphere with no supporters present. Might even emphasise to Sky and the PL that what they are really selling is the fans and atmosphere.

SpacedX Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 Pages of pointless speculation about an alleged party instead of pages of pointless speculation about the starting XI/formation/tactics. Can we do this every pre-match thread? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they would still move games tbh to show a mark of respect. Football isn't looked on too fondly by those who don't like it so reckon they would have been under pressure to not play at 3pm. You can just see the reaction if a big game of football had gone ahead getting all the attention whilst the Queen's husband was getting buried. Matt Hancock would have probably been wheeled out to criticise footballers again. Mind you the shops/cafes etc will probably still be open as normal so you could say why not sporting action?

ARTY_FOX Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 Don't really know how Jamie redknapp could argue against spurs having a soft under belly there. Seemed like he was arguing for the sake of it. I'm sure he's said they've got a softness about them loads of times aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(footballers just doing their job like a shop worker) Yeah that’s a good shout to be fair. I was thinking, none would’ve been broadcasted live if the fans were in. But yeah, a standstill hour for mourning is probably what the higher echelons probably want. Personally, I’m not totally against it. Although after such a sh!t time we’ve all been through, to dictate how the nation spends their Saturday, after a week of work seems a unfair and I can see both sides.

Super_horns Posted 11 April 2021 Share Posted 11 April 2021 (edited) Yes - wouldn't surprise me if games just kick off at 4 instead. Cannot see much of a delay - hardly any room to fit games in as it is! I remember there was an almighty fuss when it was Diana’s funeral as Scotland wanted to play an International match on the same day and wouldn’t move it but eventually relented.
