In terms of the 'competition' and all that stuff, I couldn't give a flying £#%&! to be honest.

Let's be honest, we don't give a £#%&! because they're gonna win it.
If it was us in their position we'd all be buzzin for the restart.

Don't get me wrong I'd have snatched your arm off for this in January. I was just hoping for a null and void.

it's not a real league win if you change the rules during it.

It's a soulless, sour season everybody will be glad to see the back of.

I'll still be aroused by our cup run though.

Kick It Out chairman Sanjay Bhandari suggests players should take a knee before matches

"You can't shake hands before kick off, so maybe they could replace it with a new pre-match ritual. It would be a fantastic signal if every club took a knee before a game".

Great idea imo. Maybe the evil honkies could wash the feet of black players on the pitch at full time too?

Don't blame you for thinking that, I thought it'd been cancelled until Charlie Nicholas popped up in my news feed the other day.

Resuming first week of August apparently. Also debating whether they should play a 'final 8 tournament'
