Boris will turn it into claims that it is a victory for the vaccine roll out. En-ger-lund get a competitive advantage.

Reading this it's like a population with Stockholm syndrome. Stopping sports ? for some folk I am sure sport is the only thing that keeps them going.

Haven't you heard? "footballs coming home".

Euros could be moved to UK 'with Britain willing to host tournament'

England's Wembley Stadium is already set to host the semi-finals and final on July 11 with the rest of the competition currently scheduled to be played around Europe.

I honestly believe that there will be spectators at the majority of Euro 2021 games.
But not in great numbers and not the likes of thee and me. Corporate sponsors have bunged UEFA huge amounts of money to be the official sponsors, to have their names on the billboards and too have a wad of corporate tickets. Those contracts are all wrapped into one. Fail to provide one part and UEFA fail to provide it all. So UEFA are currently pulling out the stops to ensure that corporate tickets will still be valid. Heck those those corporate tickets suddenly become of extremely high value. I'd drink Coca-Cola every day from until June if it gave me the chance of winning tickets to watch Wales play in the final of Euro 2021.

It reminds me of McCarthy era USA. Reds under the beds. No one to be trusted. Commies every where. Only trust oneself - and even then cast doubt on oneself.

Or, thinking of the o level English link, the crucible, of the Salem witch hunt

Your optimism has no bar. Wales in the final. Then again we should not forget Greece 2004 (odds before the competition 150 - 1) with as team containing Bolton and League 2 players. But they were a team.

Yeah, the Euro's have a history of throwing up interesting results. Denmark in 1992, Greece in 2004. Little ole Wales making the semi-finals in 2016. Players playing for the team goes a long way in tournament football.
You never know we might have the biggest shock on our hands this year; that England's team is actually as good as the hype from their Media!

Absolutely... constantly waiting for "release" from arbitrary, counterproductive restrictions.
How about " I do not recognize the government's power to restrict me in this way"

I fear this may be the year The Arsenal do not secure European football. Which will the sad culmination of the slide since 2014.

arsenal have been on a slow slide since 2004(the last year they won the league, since then they’ve never looked like winning it)

 

[delilah]

That government has banned ordinary people playing sports has no correlation with Premier League (elite) sports playing. And you know that too.

Of course it has. The idea that Prem players are operating in a bubble is a joke. Do they wash their own kit ? Prepare their own meals ? Sleep in a hotel away from the WAG's ?
Either the prem is safe, in which case all football is safe, or the prem is putting people's lives at risk, in which case it should all stop.

 

[essex man]

It's not allowed because it's safe, it's allowed because it would be unpopular to stop it.

 

[delilah]

It's not allowed because it's safe, it's allowed because it would be unpopular to stop it.

For sure. But unpopular with whom ? The armchair 'fans' and the TV companies. Folks should remember where, when and why Association Football started, and for whom.

Nope, you are again comparing pears with watermelon. A Premier Football team is equivalent to a small factory and they are still going and is operating without crowds. Lower leagues would want crowd.


You have yet to get permanent pasture in - but am sure you will succeed.

Yes, the 2006 Champions league was the pinnacle. Then Abramovich bought Chelsea and that was that. Steady decline. But last six years much self inflicted.

Its all about the gambling firms ,they are some of the biggest doners

No team is ever as good as the hype from the English media, they were predicting the Ineos team to win the Prada Cup, quoting “one of the biggest comebacks in sporting history” Ineos lost yesterday 7-1 which is a shame really.

The problem being the media have no clue, where as ainslee knew he was dead in the water with soft winds ,luna rossa a was the better boat ,but will fail against new Zealand

 

[holywell farmer]

Government have said upto 10-000 can go to a football match

Non league football really suffered with no crowds
