The Official 2022/23 Premier League Thread

Any news on travel and accommodation compensation from the crown estates revenue? Thought not.

At least grassroots games still seem on (mine is), so maybe go and support a local team in your area instead.

All grassroots is off this week.

It's an old adage, "those who forget their history are condemned to repeat it"

Never look back.

I've just seen they've gone for levels 9 and 10. That's ridiculous. I play lower than that now, so we are still ok. Absolutely farcical though - why punish people and damage their physical and mental health?

Football has had a problem with virtue signalling for a long time. The bloody annoying clapping for someone who died etc.

I remember playing for Hayes on Saturday of Winston Churchill's state funeral in 1965.

They only clap because you can't trust people to be silent.
In a crowd in the 1000s you are always going to get some walloper who can't keep their mouth shut, and I suspect that has more to do with the call offs than anything else.
No club or association will want the backlash of that.

It's just nonsense and goes on far to much.

We've confirmed to play against our opponents, even if the league announces it can't count as an authorised fixture.

My under 10’s has been cancelled and thats just local level.

It looks in my area like games are going ahead, but will probably need to be classified as friendlies.

So completely pointless - just creating fixture congestion and the situation of trying to squeeze midweek fixtures in between work and it getting dark come the spring.

 

[We are Tottenham]

Are MI6 going to have snipers trained on those who don't look sombre enough during the period of enforced mourning?

Why should someone dying whose relatives presumably won a battle a while back stop activities that are vital to people's wellbeing?

We didn't stop football when Bowie died despite countless incredible albums / songs / performances, does the queens waving form have the same effect on people into anti democratic establishments!?

Even by our standards this is dumb.

A battle a while back? What,you mean the second World War...

 

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

A battle a while back? What,you mean the second World War...

More like the War of the Roses

Not sure she won that one

 

[jts1882]

Will there be fireworks and loud music to celebrate King Charles' inevitable passing? Not happy about seeing his beak on our currency.

Says an irreverent colonist.

You still use cash in the colonies?

 

[DeanoAustin]

Surely if this week is off, they won't do likewise next week? Two weekends in a row will cause mayhem later in the season.

 

[We are Tottenham]

I don't think the Queen would have supported Hitler..despite her Uncle visiting him.

 

[elyid]

Not for cancelling games, but City instead of Leicester being postponed works out better for us. So silver lining.

 

[parklane1]

I can understand games being cancelled on the day of the funeral ( still do not agree with it though), but its gonads to do the same this weekend. If folks do not want to watch a game then do not go but the majority will want too.

All about reminding you of your place in society and that you must mourn or be effected by mourning even if you don't want to..
