Blades to restart on 17th June away to Aston Villa

[Berkshire Blade]

Do you believe the BBC will show us as opposed to Shity and Arsenal?

Sky had already picked man city arsenal game. BBC only have 4 free games. Suspect they will be games nobody cares about outside of Burnley...

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

We need a win first game, then a second spike the next day, but where no-body gets too unwell, and then end the season on pts per game

 

[BigBed]

I'm ready!!!

 

[Varkanoid]

Sky is rumoured to be showing 25 games free (out of their 64) - Yeah on their Freeview channel (11) Pick - its an SD channel -groan

 

[8lade]

Hopefully go one better this time around then.

Need to push on for 4th then and make sure.

Third place up for grabs IMO, could be Man U, could be Leicester, could be Wolves, could be Chelsea, could be us!

 

[Nonamedhorse]

Not a chance of the football restarting in 20 days time. Not going to happen until at least 2022/2023 season. You heard it here first.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Is there a fixtures list for the remaining games?

Bundesliga are playing the fixtures in the order they should have been played so imagine Premier League will follow suit after the games in hand have been played

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

Will cardboard cut outs or cardboard cut out cats be included in the attendance figures...?

Matchstick dogs and cats included

Only got Dyche and Farke. Was Wilder one of them? If so, which one?

None of those was Wilder. It was a mixed bag of PL managers (past and present), ex-players and pundits.

Hope we don’t get any 1 day gaps Sun-Tue, Mon-Wed, Wed-Fri, Thu-Sat
Could be an important factor in deciding Euro places and relegation

 

[Trigger Blade]

That game decided the 1946-47 title. We won it 2-1, which left Stoke City in 4th place 2 points behind Liverpool. If Stoke had won, they would have won the league for the only time in their history, on goal difference, 2 points for a win back then.

I’m not a statistic geek, but having lived in The Potteries for 25 years, it was said to me often, that if it hadn’t been for Sheffield United that season, Stoke would have been Champions and it’s a matter of some pride to me that we thwarted the clayheads

Watford v Southampton crowbarred in between 'Border Patrol down under' and 'Road Wars'

Oh.

 

[bromtom]

Oh.

I don't get all the people preaching that football is pointless without fans as though their opinion matters in this situation.

Football is better with fans no doubt, like a kebab is better with a portion of cheesy chips, but I'm still happy with just the kebab if that's all that's available, the "nothing without fans" brigade would rather starve.

 

[Plymouthblade]

Just got 14/1 on the Betfair exchange. At the very least should be able to trade out for a tidy profit should we have a good restart.

P power 17/1 top four

 

[Alf Tuppers Shorts]

Will it be on the wireless,or will Radio Sheffield not be allowed in the stadium. Are they just restricting entry to the grounds essential staff only.

Potentially they might be able to do commentary remotely. I imagine thats what they will be doing with the actual tv commentators as well.

Looks to be the best price around so far.

Do I believe BBC would take the first game back if offered it? I think they'd snap your hands of for those kind of ratings.
Personally I'd be surprised if they were offered it as I'd thought all the broadcasters would want it if it were going free to air.

At a stage when we’re going to see a lot of unusual things in this miniseason, not being first in the BBC’s running order would certainly help to maintain a sense of normality with the season so far.

Already started Mike wotsit on BBC just now annouces the PL will be back with the Arsenal Man City game continues on and then as an afterthought quickly mentions the Blades Villa game will be on after like its a bad smell.

So judging from that Arsenal game is 6pm and we are on 8pm.

I’ve read ours is 6pm which makes more sense as viewing figures likely to be higher at 8pm.

 

[Varkanoid]

Not necessarily people still WFH and 6pm is tea time. I cant see them wanting the blade as an "opener" to the PL returning Arse v Man City makes more sense. I`m only guessing from what he said Arsenal match will be on then "afterwards" Sheffield United V Aston Vill. Have a look at BBC Breakfast on the iPlayer and go to about 8.35am which is when the sport was on and see what you think. Maybe I`m wrong ?
