When did Spurs sign Jason Cummins from Shrewsbury?

De Bruyne looks like he's spent his break taking up the Belgian government's call to eat more chips, while pounding back cans of Stella and plenty of croustillons for dessert

Italy's sport minister has confirmed Serie A will return on 20 June.

Just saw these comparisons on Twitter...

You know, I had a feeling that when the football resumed, we'd be the ones that'd most likely retain our fitness. I trusted our squad to be absolutely disciplined and professional when it came to their personal lockdown fitness regime, and it seems I'm not wrong. We should easily be the fittest squad going into June 16th.

[Lush is the best medicine...]

Lawton is now indicating that it is only the derby against Everton, and any home game that we could win the title, which would need to be played at neutral venues;

To clarify, it’s Liverpool home games when they could win the title - as well as away to Everton and City - that were discussed as potentially high risk by PL today. And other big derby matches. Remains a proposal at this stage and Liverpool will follow guidance of authorities.[/b]

and if the villa game is at a neutral ground isn’t that unfair to the other teams at the bottom?

5-30 wasn’t it?

Nope, 3pm, only one in that block I think that wasn’t on tv

Sky Sports News as on it as ever - still reporting that Deeney’s decision to return to training is the latest boost for Project Restart.

fair play to him, possible knighthood?

It was definitely the 5:30 game that Saturday. It was my birthday that day and I had an area booked from 4pm in one of the sports bars here.

must have changed it very late, sure it was listed as 3pm a week or two before

[AshbourneRed]

Was having a look and I tweeted about that on 8th March so it was set at that stage anyway. Sticks in the head because I had convinced myself we were gonna win it on my birthday and I’d have a great excuse for a piss up

Seriously - what an ass he is.

Fucking hell, what happened to Mo? Chest wax and looks like he's been shived!

[semit5]

It’s real, Mo really does have a body like that

[Lycan]

Literally one of the worst accounts on twitter this. He has thousands of virgin schoolboys hanging off his every word as well. So good to see how bitter he is about us winning the league. Reminds me of Stephen Howson's "You might as well be Celtic" rant.

Liverpool's first ever Premier League title and they have to lift it in an empty stadium with no fans present, they can't even have an open-top bus parade all year. Just the way it should be for a club like Liverpool.

I watched the training video from yesterday and he was showing his chest to his mate Lovren, but we only saw him doing it from the back.

Ha you've got to love those rants. It's the equivalent of them saying 'I'm not crying, you're crying', as the tears stream down their face.

[Kekule]

I see, so they’ve also gone from “this is serious, it’s sick to even think about going back to play football” and “it’s not safe”  to “hahahahahaha they can’t have a parade because of a serious threat to public health...hahahaha.“ in under 24 hours.

Sad pathetic little wastes of space. Imagine being such a sad, pathetic, bitter twat like these people.

Ah well, No19 here we come 

[Working Class Hen-Pecked Hero]

Would've loved a parade. But if someone offered me the league without a parade (obviously under different circumstances) we'd have all snatched their arms off

Not sure why he's wearing tights, but he should consider wearing a corset

In an arena of massive c*nts, deeney still manages to be head and shoulders above the rest

[Gerry Attrick]

Javier Tebas speaking on Marca has said the plan is to start next season on September 12. This season supposed to finish on 12 July and August is reserved for European competition. Getting through 11 league games each in a month cannot be possible, surely.

Are you referring to Spain? Other than the 4 who start 17th June, everyone has 9 games left, so following the Bundesliga which started on the 17th May and ends on 28th of June, it'll be a week between the first games and then weekend, midweek, weekend - doable I'd say.

[Gerry Attrick]

Yeah, Spain. They've all played 27. They're starting 11th June and planning to finish 12th July. That's just way too short a timeframe when they haven't played for so long.

[El Lobo]

Not sure why anyone feels the need to limit themselves to the 12th of July.

The European finals are meant to be August 29th and there’s a few knockout first round games and then quarters and semis to play. No reason they can’t finish those over three weeks with weekends available.

[redgriffin73]

When are we likely to finish ours? Early August if we count in 7 weekends and a couple of midweeks?

And then FA Cup and CL/EL games to fill in the other midweeks?

[quinny]

Sat 25th July apparently. Six weekends and three midweeks (from a BBC journalist).

FA Cup dates - quarters 27/28 June, semis 11/12 July, final 1 August.

I think the reports a few days ago were suggesting PL has to be done by August 1st

[Jm55]

Provisional FA Cup dates as below;

‘Provisional 2019-20 Emirates FA Cup schedule
Quarter-finals: 27 June & 28 June
Semi-finals: 11 July & 12 July
Final: 1 August’

That is really pushing it for Spain, they are looking to finish two weeks before us !!!

[swoopy]

FA cup just posted this on Facebook.



Will those fixtures run alongside PL Fixtures on those weekends ? With those teams still in the competition requiring an extra mid-week ?

[El Lobo]

Are there still lower league teams in?

[Gerry Attrick]

That is really pushing it for Spain, they are looking to finish two weeks before us !!!

It’s a madness. I thought it might get lost in translation but more than 1 good source are saying it so... 11 games in about 31 days when they’ve not played for 3 months. Hope the A&Es near football stadiums have a decent capacity.

[Crosby Nick]

When are they hoping next season will start if there are no further suspensions?

[rafathegaffa83]

I'm assuming heat is probably a factor for this in Spain, which will also give medical staff worries

Yeah there is that, currently 25c in Barcelona. Have been to spain a few times this time of the year and its always been mid 20's in the day but does cool of a night, did Majorca one august and it was mid 30's of a night, no way you'd want to play footy in that

[The North Bank]

Great news about the fa cup. Season still alive. Its getting exciting again, like the lead up to the world cup.

European football will be tricky though, plenty of airports still closed, travellers quarantined etc.
