I spoke to BT yesterday and they said for BT Sport they would automatically add the sport package onto a 18 month contract which I don’t want to do as looking to switch broadband and BT sport onto a new sky package 

Sorry if I misunderstood ,but i went on the BT website to find out about a refund on my sports package found a link which will credit the monthly charge against your next bill .

Just provided account number and email address - no complaints from me and took a couple of minutes.

 I don't know if this is a scam or not, but I just had a phone call with a (clearly) recorded voice saying I've won a competition and could choose either £250 or 2 tickets to an Elvis Presley tribute show, after a short pause it then said press one for the money or two for the show.

But the PL have already Eff'd Off from the EFL.

They did that back in 92.

This is part of the problem and needs to be addressed, you can't have a 2 tier system where a wealthy elite only consider their own self interests.

Football needs all clubs ,with all the money from TV, it is frankly obscene that it is not shared out on a more equitable basis.

Hopefully some good will come out of this crisis and football will take a long hard look at itself and how it operates.

All clubs should ban fees to agents ,if players feel the need to employ them they can sort out their commission.

Every club in each division should employ a salary cap based on previous seasons revenue .

Every club should field at least 4 UK players under 23.

All 92 clubs should have equal representation on all decisions and if the PL don't like it they can **** off and join some super European league.  

At the end of all this there will be a big period of reflection in football and society in general and the realisation that things should not return to normal as there are so many issues which require reevaluation

That’s all well and good, which teams are in which division?

All results from this season are erased it never happened ,start a new season when safe to do so .with teams lining up like they did last August.

In this world crisis football is way down the agenda , and for the life of me I can't understand why convoluted ideas are being proposed in order to complete the season.

If fans can't attend really what is the point. ?

I really don't understand this argument, finish the season whatever it takes.

I would much rather start the 20/21 season say mid September when hopefully normality is returning  and just void this season .

Earlier on in the crisis they showed live Italian /French league  games behind closed doors - like watching a better class of pub football without the passion.

Fans are part of the game and playing behind closed doors should be opposed at every level, it is even handed out as a punishment.

Imagine watching Liverpool celebrate winning the league at an empty Anfield .

Football is all about fans and without them really what is the point. 

I'm not in favour of finishing the season at any cost,the powers that be should set a date say 15th June and if crisis is  still continuing expunge all results from the 19/20 season in effect cancelling it .

To try and complete at any price will impact severely the following season so in my mind make a big decision now and look forward to the new season.

I'm staying at home wearing my big-cat print onesie.

I'm self ocelotting.

Record attendances apparently;

Just to be factually correct the record attendance refers to last year.

Still the height of irresponsibility to hold it after cancelling all football and rugby.

People react to perceived risk and by letting it go ahead somehow down plays the impact of the need for self distancing.

So much for not panic buying just found Andy Carroll sat in the kitchen.

The war didn't have such restrictions on movement, it created jobs not destroyed them.....

Perhaps the most stupid post I have ever read on here.(and that takes some doing).

Day 13 without football:

Next door neighbour was leaving for work, so I opened the window and sang , “You’re supposed to be at home!”

Only 45 minutes till Homes under the Hammer

 Stay strong.

My particular beef at the moment is with the BBC and their treatment of self isolation for the over70's

They inevitably interview a 70 plus luvvie who witters on about more time to bake biscuits or enjoy the garden or catch up with friends on Skype.

I'd rather hear about  Doris from Wigan who lives alone in a council block and has no internet or mobile phone and is worried sick

Time to get the rumour started...I

Well, it needs to be someone who suits the media age, with charm and TV friendly looks. So, Michael Gove probably.

This seems an opportune moment to post the only known joke  relevant to Stoke City.

"My biology teacher tried to explain chromosomes to us using a biblical metaphor.

Apparently XY is Adam, XX is Eve, and YYY, Delilah." 

Just read this on the Birmingham website re spare tickets for tonights game 

"I have 2 under 22 years. 
On route to Bristol now, so meet at ground. 
PM me."

"My lad is 38 , can he have both ?"

How about Evaporated Milk? 

I once bought a tin of evaporated milk. When I opened it, it was empty.

A man walks into a retro shop in Birmingham.

He says “I’d like a kipper tie please”. Chap behind the counter says “milk & sugar?”

How about Evaporated Milk? 

A friend told me that they were bathing in milk, almost totally immersed. I said, “Pasteurised?”, they said, “no, just to my chin”

This match has home banker written all over it for the above reason, we have small squad now down to the bare bones and 48 hours recovery time since the last game is a joke.

Sorry but in no way can I be positive we will be beaten by fatigue and is no reflection on our season to date.

 

Is it bad etiquette to qoute your own post ? I hope the bed wetters on here realise that we are running on empty

Big fan of picking the same team looks like the tombola consigned to history.

Watford in the cup should provide an interesting starting11

Why are we playing today?

Wolves play Tuesday so why can’t we, are Villa being awkward and want to play Bank Holiday for the crowd.
