On the pitch it's as normal except the lack of handshakes pre and post match in exchange for the knuckle bumps. Dean Smith gave a quick hug post match yo one player. 20 players in the box for a corner.

So what the heck were they doing sat in the stands several metres apart wearing masks? The signal it sends out to the rest of society is appalling.
Totally agree.

I think that the PL and football authorities have totally lost the plot. All that BLM virtue signalling knee business when, as Travs alluded to, they don't seem bothered about the black lives that have been lost in stadium building in Quatar.

As for the Hawkeye/VAR cock up last night. What planet are these people on. I was also disappointed by the muted condemnation of it by the commentators and the likes of Jamie Carragher.
They were happy to accept it as a one off.
I wonder if they would have had the same reaction if it would have happened in a Merseyside, Manchester or North London derby. I doubt it.

Anyway, its confirmed my decision to cancel my SKY Sports subscription yesterday, as the correct one.

Now what shall I spend that money on?
