Post lockdown football 2020 - The verdict....

[daza_1973]

So there we have it after eight games
Was it the promised invigorating tonic for the Covid down trodden nation?
Or the contractual obligation non-event ?

Speaking personally and as an Everton supporter I think it was as expected - beyond awful, but Man Utd and Chelsea fans would likely disagree.
Until the fans are back in my opinion the game is dead in the water...

What do you think?

Horrendous.

Toothache

Gave it a 1 for getting rid of Watford, Bournemouth and spoiling all of Liverpool's records.

Ghoulish interest swiftly gave way to stark reality.

All but a few PL clubs are broken.

Half, at least, of Championship clubs will go bust.

League 1 and 2 will go part time.

Unless.

I suppose the positive is Ancelotti now knows exactly what he needs.

They can’t be trusted with their ability but more importantly their effort.

Four richest clubs take the top four places : plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

 

[H.H.]

Gave it a 6 for now and again taking people's minds off the horrible time they have gone through.

It’s been crap. Not just because we have been but in general. I miss going the game hungover. I miss crowds on live footy on the TV. Was all crap.

 

[chrismpw]

Bunch of pointless friendlies which shouldn't have gone ahead. All its done had brought predictable pointless illegal gatherings to spread an illness.

 

[YoboCopter]

Was something to have on in the background

didnt mind it tbh

I didn't think having no fans would have this much effect on Football or my own enjoyment watching it, Soulless.

Scary thing is they're talking about October at the earliest for the return of fans in any way shape or form - general scientific consensus is looking more like next spring at the earliest for any kind of normality. 2020-21 is going to be another total non-event.

It's crap but it is what it is, all the other top leagues got finished so it was the best way to finish the games off once the Euros were moved. The amount of TV money that would have had to be given back would have crippled clubs if it wasn't finished.

I'm more concerned with next season being a write off in terms of fans.

We've only got a few seasons left at Goodison so to write off maybe 18 months of those is really disheartening.
