Aguero is probably the tipping point.

Also I'd still call Aubameyang a striker but he's played a lot of wing since Arteta came.

Semantics make - he's a forward.

More atmosphere at a Business House League game than these.

The most apt comparison is a non-league game, you have a somewhat empty stadium as a backdrop to the game. That's still better than this.

Non-league atmosphere is belting! I loved it.

Gotta have another season like this one before he's better than Kane might of stretched at Cavani but I don't think the others are arguable just yet lots can change but

It isn't though. His role is fundamentally different.

IMO you have to do it more than in Austria a few German games and a few CL games before you’re even near people like Cavani.

Not to mention if "somewhat relatively normal" takes 18 months there'll be about 10 clubs left.

How many teams have gone bust in the period where they haven't played? 0.

The teams in the most danger of going bust - the lower leagues - have decided that it is better to not play than to bother with the effort of playing without fans.

Are the Prem really going to let someone go bust over 50m? No. Let's stop this going bust narrative until someone actually goes bust.

What, scoring goals?

Kane has been genuinely terrible for 18 months now. I wouldn't swap DCL for him today until I see something to suggest he's going to be 17/18 Kane again.

It's been 2 months and the TV money was already in. They haven't asked for it back because they haven't officially cancelled any games. Give it 12 months and that all changes.

17 in 25 games this season is terrible. Wow.

Schalke's keeper reminds me of Pickford.

Messi and Neymar are asked to do more than score and I think everyone who is responding knows this...

Assist?

TV companies aren't not going to pay their contracts because they'll lose vital content. We've covered this quite a lot.

Their threats of demanding refunds if no games are players are hollow.
