    The issue in our country isn’t giving Liverpool the title. It’s arranging top 4 and the relegation/promotion of each league.

    Belgium only had 1 game left.

    The biggest problem for the Premier League is not the clubs, but the money they would have to repay to TV companies if the remaining games don't get played. A figure of 762 million was being suggested a few days ago.

    The simplest thing to do would be to void the whole season, no promotions no relegations.

    Why not get every team to send one player, presumably their best, and each division have a mass game of cupies/Wembley/one and you’re through: with one player being eliminated each round (first few settling relegation spots).

    Final two could be grander with ‘3 and you’re in’ style rules employed.

    That bald Italian could ref and maybe Shilton could go in goal.

    Goal scrounging/hanging (was scrounging when I was a kid) would be severely punished.

    Cup comps/internationals could follow suit , or adopt a variant such a ‘headers and vollys’ comp, or even Slam.

    Same here - great days.

    Romantic view I know but even the seasons seemed sorted back then - long summers, snow in winter etc.

    Out all day, exploring, climbing trees, street games, street pranks and of course football.

    Football in the street, parks, playgrounds.

    Feel sorry for kids now (even before this horrendous times), - the freedoms we had. Think I was allowed to play in the street from being abouit 3 years old.

    Indeed. During Wimbledon you’d struggle to get on the courts though.

    Would sometimes play street cricket with tennis rackets too.

    Marbles – used to play on drains at school and ‘fronts’ out of school.

    Used to hate it on the rare occasion someone would only play for ‘lens’.

    Many many variants of Slam.

    Once a scrounger, always a scrounger. Bet you're the one who buys a round when everyone says they're about to leave 'cos the missus is putting 'em under pressure . :emoticon-0105-wink::emoticon-0105-wink:

    Hanging the goal scroungers would be a perfect solution. Hang 'em on the crossbar would give the defending keeper an advantage.
