***Official*** English Football Season 2019-20

Haha I remember it looking onside in real time, then in the freeze-frame he was a mile off. One of those where he was offside when the ball was played, ran back onside, then ran back into an offside position afterwards and it looked like he'd bent his run.

I remember Jermaine Pennant coming on in that game for one of his only ever Premier League appearances for Arsenal (though I think he started the next game against Southampton and got a hat trick). He also was the one who gave the ball away in the lead up to the Viduka goal iirc.

I can remember very vividly Martin Tyler on commentary saying "Pennant is running down a blind alley here".

 

[Pothas]

Always remember him saying he should have been 'the first Henry' or something along those lines.

In the end I saw him playing for Wigan at Griffin Park as they got relegated to League One.

Haha first Rooney I think it was. Would have happened if Wenger hadn't been awful apparently.

My sources tell me that prem and championship titles shall be awarded. Both leagues 22 teams next season so likely Leeds and West Brom promoted. No relegation. L1 and 2 voided.

We are staying up say we are staying up

 

[Pothas]

Play-offs voided? Was some talk last week of playing them even if the rest of the season has to end.

 

[Pothas]

Likes of Coventry totally ****ed over as well if that League 1 and 2 are voided.

Jerome Pennant went on Jeremy Kyle. No idea how I missed it at the time but The Reducer did a podcast about it.

 

[Furball]

He was about five yards offside ffs.

The video from the official Premier League site conveniently doesn't give a replay that shows this.

Unless they're scrapping the League Cup (or at least making entry voluntary for teams in Europe) I don't see where the space is coming from in the calendar for an extra 4 games.

Yes I honestly don't think there's a palatable solution that doesn't involve the season being finished.

I had no idea about this, and thought it sounded funny. But now I've just watched it, and some of the things he says are just absolutely vile.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah he did one of those 'brutally honest' autobiographies last year. I don't remember too many people buying it.

 

[cpr]

No one needs to, Peter Crouch summed him up with the story about the car he forgot he owned.

Maybe they're planning on starting the season 2 or 3 weeks earlier than usual. Heck of a gamble, if so.

If next season happens, cups will be massively slimmed down IMO

Removing Prem clubs from the League Cup would get my vote.

Yeah, I think this inevitable to be honest. And that's irrespective of whether this season is finished, or next season starts with 22 teams in the top flight or whatever.

 

[andruid]

Does that mean that this season's FA Cup gets voided?

Also if next season's League Cup has no Premier League teams does the Europa League place go to a lower league winner?

 

[sledger]

The FA cup for this year is almost certainly in the can already. Will be hard enough finishing the league season alone, and the FA cup isn't a priority for anyone, teams, sponsors or fans.
