Project Restart - Hoping for 8th June

Forget the Premier League, I'm still dreaming about the FA Cup, and when I say "dreaming" I mean just that. Last week I dreamt that we beat Arsenal 3-1 behind closed doors, having to watch it on the telly. We were 1-0 down after 6 minutes but then two quick goals, in the 56th and 58th minutes, saw us go 2-1 ahead. We then added a third in injury time.

This week I progressed to the semi-final, this time in front of a crowd, and somehow against Reading, my dreamy mind not questioning the fact that we'd already disposed of them in the 5th Round. 2-1 down going into injury time, we equalised from a corner. In extra time Reading had went 3-2 up through a controversial goal which was just in the process of going to VAR when I woke up. Devastated not to know the outcome.

If I manage to pick this dream up and we finish the game, providing it is in United's favour, I will be suggesting my dreams to the FA as a way of completing the tournament.

If I die and go to heaven, and God tells me that indeed our name was on the Cup in 2020, but alas, Coronavirus put paid to our success, I'm going to be pretty annoyed.
we could play the FA cup as a pre season tournament, there's only 7 games
quarters one sat/ sun semis tues and weds and final on a sunday

draw out the 2 quarters sat and they play tues and the 2 on Sunday on a weds

Still taking the medicine for that knee😉
 
its good practice for going away in Europe if the players are kept away from their families,
but really , how many families of all the shop assistants that are staffing our supermarkets get the medical back up these footballers will get

whos to say one of the footballers that refuse to play get a family member visit to watch his team play without him then get covid off that relation

all of life is a risk,,,,, that's why you should enjoy it
they all drive around in super fast super cars ,,,, they don't seem to worry about that
 
If players refuse to play then they should forfeit their salary.

If teams refuse to play then for every game they miss, the opp team should be awarded a 3-0 win.

If the govt say it's safe to play football and the players are regularly tested them there's no excuse for not playing the games.
 
My original post was in reply to someone who said he wouldn't respect the person who refuses to make a choice of money over their family. I stand by disagreeing with that nonsense.
No that is not what was said, you have tried to change the argument so that you can try and take a moral victory. However I've called you out, so not only was your original argument flawed and defeated (which by trying to change it you have admitted), you are being exposed as a sandbagger.

I mean it's not but whatever. Suns out and I have a cold beer waiting 👍 if you want to pretend that's what I meant go for it. Have a good weekend.
 
its a man it'd manufactured one this one so they finish above us
if its not jerry mandered a bit we finish above man utd

no need to split home and away games

best way is to take it after we had all played the same number of games 28 just take away the 29th some had played
its 14 home and 14 away

Why 28? Why not 19? Why not 5 or 10?

However it's done, someone will have an issue with it.

But unfortunately "points per game" is done exactly as it sounds. Just because we've played a game less doesn't mean we can moan if we miss out.

We have had one chance less than the others around us to collect points, its not fair, and I would moan .......
 
Premier league also. I'll take that, we finish 6th and the Shammers are relegated, no wonder Brady has been so vocal.

Much as I want the season to finish, if West Ham went down in those circumstances i would fucking love it.

So when would be the fairest point to decide?

If it's unsafe to play games and PPG is the best method, unfortunately that means we only get Europa League because villa made the cup final 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm all for the finishing of games behind closed doors. I want us to finish what we started. But PPG is a fairer way of ending it than voiding it altogether

lets see how the re-start goes, the first 2 games should be Villa Vs us and Arse Vs Citeh .........

We then have a 29 game finish point .............. by all means carry on, but if we do get stopped we do have a finish point

Wham and Bmuff will be cheering for us, ManU and Wulf cheering for Villa .... valuable game

and we will all have had 29 chances

Please explain ?
 

Our PPG puts us 6th.

If they take it back to everyone on 28 games our PPG puts us 5th (Champs League)
If there is a champions league next season Man City will be in it.

Their punishment is “suspended” while their appeal goes through CAS. I highly doubt they will complete the appeal before champions league places need to be announced.
 
Watched 30 minutes of k-league today with piped noise into the stadium. It's ok, and much better than fuck all
Its really crap with out a crowd , its just not the same , lets hope we dont get the wrong piped noise , knowing our luck we will end up with piped noise from Swilsbrough 😂 💩🐷
 

interesting L1 & L2 because they cant survive without the gate receipts. will be using a more evolved points per game systems that takes home & away games into account
 
Society reacts against change rather than logic. The fact that work-related deaths per person in the NHS this year will still be less than the normal average in agriculture and construction is over-ridden by the previous perception that Healthcare was a low risk profession, a situation that has changed. When this is all over we’ll still be cursing the tractors that hold us up.

I agree with comments above about the news - finding issues with the government is more provocative than saying they are doing a good job. The stats are all reported in an agenda-driven way - pressure was put on when carehome deaths weren’t included and as soon as they were we were criticised for having high death rates compared against countries who weren’t including carehomes!

If you want cold hard facts read the FT and look at the stats on their website.
Why are there stats different?
 
If the PL adapted the points per game but more points for away games where would we stand on the table

More than happy for there to be some piped in noise of them bouncing.

It's not more evolved, it's dumb as f**k.

Oxford would be promoted partly because they have been useless at home but brilliant away, and most importantly, with no account taken of strength of schedule.

For me, keep it simple at straight PpG, or weight it on the relative strength of the teams you have remaining to play. Not by paying lip service to difficulty.

The only bloody songs they sing is that bouncing shit and mind the gap song.
Mind the gap they can't do anymore for obvious reasons, and after we killed their bouncing song it's been like a library at Hillsborough so Silence is golden it will be then.
Unless its them Two Sow's singing "We're going on the piss with Chansiri".

i think its not perfect but people have complained that PPG didnt take into count home & away form. where as this idea at least goes this. its not perfect of course but lower league clubs cant play without gate receipts so if they naturally finish they would go bust
