The English Premier League is restarting in ten minutes.

Either the break throws a monkey wrench into the usual state of things and Arsenal pull off an upset, or City players missed playing football so much that they explode on the Gunners. Hoping it's the former, obviously.

Going to be fucking weird watching EPL without fans in the stands. More so than it would be anywhere else because I don't think I've ever seen an empty stadium in an EPL game unlike other leagues and EPL's fan atmosphere is quite idiosyncratic.
 
Got this on Messenger from a friend after Villa vs Blades on Wednesday:

Coronavirus: "Finally I've got everyone to stop talking about VAR"
VAR: "Hold my beer"

For those of you who watched the games on Wednesday: Did they play some fake crowd noise over the PA before kickoff there as well? They just played recorded "Come on you Spurs" chanting ...

Crowd noise is on tv/radio i believe as you can select a version without so I dont think its in the ground.
We've seen typical De Gea tonight, total fuck up followed by great save.

You're right, but for some reason I got the fake noise version up to kickoff before they switched to the actual sound.

Annoying that Utd conceded that goal after actually starting to gain the momentum in the game. But bigger deficits than 0-1 have been turned to big wins against Spurs before, so I still believe.
 
I'm not that unhappy with a draw in what I consider the most difficult of the 9 games United had left.

And the actual performance aside, I'm very happy to watch United play again.
 
I'm watching the first ever Premier League match to be shown live on the BBC - Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace. It's not exactly box office. I don't mind the fake crowd noise and I'm hoping there's some "The referee's a wanker!" chants thrown in. :)
