Euro 2020 postponed.

It was expected.. it was the only way to hopefully get the league's to finish their seasons..

ooops yes, got side tracked. 

 

means we have euro 2021 and world cup 2022. May interfere with world cup qualifying fixtures but should be fine.

On Netflix is a series called the English game. Yeah, it’s contrived an cliched but it’s Blimming brilliant

I enjoyed it, and even did some post series reading on the real life happenings. To think how they played then compared to the modern day era.

On a plus side.. Juve have apparently recalled their players who are not in Italy.. they will spend 2 weeks in isolation and training to resume in early May (when Iay start lifted their lockdown).. all apparently but no official statement from the club. If this is true then there is light at the end of the distant tunnel that very slowly things may return to some sort of normality.

World health organization recommends no football for over a year1de8aeb73839e8a8c61fd62a133feb81.jpg

 

That will kill clubs... 

 

Hope they find a sensible solution. Play behind closed doors or something.

That and the fact that it would be beyond unfair to Leicester to name just one club.

You can pretty much guarantee that clubs that have a good coefficient but are missing out this season will be gagging to get the season voided.

Netflix also has a movie about Bobby Robson that was brilliant. What a wonderful human being and manager. Also gives a lot of insight into how he shaped the thinking of Mourimho and Gaurdiola.

 

Being a geordie I had mixed emotions about his time at the club but I shed a tear towards the end.

Quite a few upsets in the list... ironically featuring some of the bigger clubs on the losing end:

 

1976 - S'hampton vs United

1978 - Ipswich vs Arsenal

1987 - Coventry vs Spurs

1995 - Everton vs United (seeking back to back doubles). But Everton were an EPL team, so not really an upset as the others were.
 

2013 - Wigan vs City (having won the EPL the year prior, they were coming into being a top team of the 2010's.

1988 - LFC vs Wimbledon, possibly the biggest upset of all time. LFC had just won the league, for the 5th time in 7 years, having finished 2nd on the other two season.
