eastynh Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Absolutely glorious from City last night. The football once we get going is absolutely scintilating. Up and running in our quest for another treble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pink_triangle Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 A big concern I have about this restart is the clubs and tv companies will use it to make the case for showing every game on an ongoing basis with no overlap. I think that would be terrible for lower leagues. I was interested in the Sheff U v Villa game how the commentators brought up the prospect of doing it in the future, I'm sure they weren't encouraged to do this by sky!!

charlierc Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 It is weird watching the games with the dubbed-in audio. I do like the fact there's a mix of chants I heard at actual Newcastle games in the past, but it feels like watching a video of a gig where the video and audio aren't synced up.

A few times in the Merseyside derby today it messed up a bit and they played the audio of fans celebrating a goal. On the note of the derby. Possibly one of the worst games of football I've seen in quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just better than nothing. Saying that if the games are as drab as the first lot of games, people will lose interest. Be interesting how long the no fans will last.

Hugh Jass Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 I find the crowd noise helps, certainly prefer it to no noise, which makes the game sound like a Thursday night five a side kick about in the local sports hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard terrible things about the Everton-Liverpool game. Didn't watch it live and think that might have been the right decision. I think I may end up limiting what I watch to Newcastle games and the brief highlight clips Sky put on YouTube after each game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbadger Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Gutted we've gone out like that, but generally speaking we wouldn't have made the play offs anyway. Mixed feelings on the next season - we might be best set to deal with the current situation and the ensuing financial shitshow but for every advantage we gain it'll be another club closer to folding entirely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyoung Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Foden was excellent last night. If he plays like that on the regular then City have potentially got their replacement for David Silva. Mahrez class as well. What a fantastic footballer. Interested to see who they move for with DS leaving and probably Sane too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City have looked brilliant since the restart, and without the Anfield atmosphere and fans to aid their pressing game - if even have backed City to claw back a 10/12 point gap at this stage - but the 19 point (after game in hand) is just a stretch too far.

I can't say I'm particularly looking forward to Thu night. Hard to imagine Chelsea's back line dealing with City's attacking play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid-19 might be the best thing to happen to England, as the extra 12 months makes the Foden dilemma an easy decision for Southgate now. I think Foden will play wide next season. Sith Silva and Sane going, there will spaces available. Pep has already said Sane will not be replaced like for like. Expect Bernardo to play more inside and it seems Houssem Aouar has been on City's want list for a long time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
