Covid19: The Football Thread

Paderborn's Klaus Gjasula just got a Bundesliga record; 17 yellow cards in one season

Paderborn currently 3-0 down at half time to Werder Bremen who missed a penalty. If Dusseldorf lose to Dortmund and Werder win 6-0 they climb to 16th. Apparently they have a reputation of escaping relegation

This is fun

Yes, strange that Ngakia played, and scored apparently, seeing that he's leaving.

and also Sebby scored again :goal: :scarf:

Exapt, I read somewhere that thy payed 3 x 30 minute periods. So maybe they needed him to make up the numbers :hmm:

Benteke scored for Palace, on recent form that means he should score again in February 2021...

I've done a new thread for anyone who wants to discuss the actual matches. Maybe we can keep this for things like positive tests, any further suspensions related to Covid19 etc?

Our first league match is Home to Wolves, on Saturday, William Hill are giving
the odds of the Hammers to win 5/2, and a draw also at 5/2.
Wolves are favorites to win at 11/10.
I will have a punt at 5/2 for a draw.

I see we are one of only 4 teams yet to be scheduled to be on a free to air channel! I assume the matches on the last day of the season will all kick off at the same time, all on Sky?

Just read on the BBC that La Liga will start the 2020/21 season on 12 September and its likely the Premier League will do the same.

The Times says that teams in Europe will possibly be allowed to drop out or play youth sides in the League Cup although I'm not sure if UEFA would award a Europa League spot to the winner if that happens

Also players union Fifpro wants a mandatory mid-season 10-14 day break.
