To be honest, if someone had offered to pay me £20 to watch our performance on Saturday, then by 5pm I'd have massively regretted taking the money...

Indeed, as the travel costs to Blackburn would have left you out of pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Oil Services Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Football without fans, is The Downs league. Or Rovers in the Banana pub league (putting family vouchers in the local paper, desperately trying to keep their crowds over 4k) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Without fans, it'll be hot for the players in tonight's games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 One of the idiots behind it is on twitter defending the misquote by saying Busby agreed with the sentiment of the Stein quote. So yeah, just stick his name on the quote... They could’ve used these much more fitting words which actually came out of Busby’s mouth. "Football is a business. It used to be a sport, now it's a business". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Given that the players are back into full training after a long spell of uncertainty and the country now swelters in a heatwave, I feel we will see the players in a new light. It will be obvious which players are professional and self-motivated, and which are show ponies. I'd also like to hear what the TV companies are thinking with this strange game we are watching twice a night; are they seeing new opportunities for marketing the brand or are they aghast at how lifeless it is without us.
