The main thing about watching these old games is that you don't feel anything when they score, until you realise…..there is no VAR !! 

Then you realise VAR is killing the fucking game

They should show the Chelsea vs Leeds Cup final replay. Make the younger generations eyes pop out.

I think you had to murder someone to get sent off in that game.

Why many people hate Leeds?

The 5-0 in 84 was lively too

Would you want them back in PL so that we could beat them again?

Would the fans today be any more hostile than for example in derbies vs Spuds or Arse?

Yes think it would be good to beat them again, the rivalry would still be there. In the early 70s we were polar opposites -they were the Northern machine under Don Revie, practically unbeatable like Klopps Liverpool today. We were the young pretenders, stylish, young, fashionable with Ossie, Hudson, Hutch -players with Kings Road swagger

The Premier League's new 'plan to finish the season': Start again on June 1, play all of the matches in just SIX weeks and begin the 2020-21 campaign in early August to stave off financial disaster

Probably BS. Why 6 weeks? If you play games every three days like you normally do you can play 9 games in 25 days. But I guess you have European comps and FA cup as well.

I think FA Cup and European competition will be voided.

If every team play every 3 days, the smaller team won't survive.
