Police have changed their minds about teams using their own stadiums according to the Mail. All okay apparently.

Is that the best England team ever, on paper anyway?

Gazza, Shearer, Seaman, Psycho, Ince, Adams, Platt, Steve Mc, Ferdinand....

No chance. Nowhere close. Sir Les didn’t even make it onto the pitch either.

It was never the police that had the issue was it ?

Really? Thought I'd read so. I could be wrong.

I wonder if Bowyer would think points per game was scandalous if he was managing a team who scraped promotion by the same method, having spent most of the season outside the automatic places.

[DareToDibble]

"There's 27 more points to play for, so you can't just go on one week"

Not quite getting the idea of points per game there. He is laying far too much emphasis on the fact they just lost to Boro and seemingly forgetting all the other games they've played. To assume they would have gone and beaten Hull is a bit optimistic, too.

Will give the Dortmund Schalke game a go, definitely.

[JSmurphy]

I'll be tuning in. I'm going to be 'supporting' Dortmund. Mainly because I can't get enough of Håland.

i might give it go.

I suspect I'll tune out within 30 minutes though, as i don't think an atmosphere-less match with teams I don't really know is going to hold my attention. I think I might struggle even with teams i do know.

I wonder if they will play fake crowd noise in the background, i saw that the NFL was considering it

So it looks like it's actually going ahead! Interesting times for European football.

[DareToDibble]

I'm excited for football to be back. It won't be anywhere near as exciting without fans but it's still live sport 😃

65 mins in, I'm still watching, sat in the garden in the sun. I can think of worse things to be doing. 

That 4th was a cracker. 

[zahidf]

I thought it was fun overall. Seems like closed doors games may be a goer!

What channel is this on? BT? I've only got Sky. (Highlights of us hammering the Aussies in the 2010 20/20 WC FInal currently on)

[Neil]

BT sport.

I wouldn't pay for it but it's a nice freebie with my broadband. Downside is that the freebie version only works with (android, for me) tablet apps and can't be cast. It won't work on the BT sport thingy on my TV box.

[jyoung]

That Schalke 'keeper had a 'mare.

[Homer]

It's coming home, it's coming...

[pink_triangle]

Football without fans has little appeal to me.

[DareToDibble]

I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed it despite there being no fans.

On a slightly related note... Erling Haaland doesn't like interviews does he?
