Never mind tripods, bipods or paypods. Bojo says footie can start in March..well April really....who is that for then?

Pre-season friendlies??

We haven't seen what viruses this Mars Rover intends to bring back with it yet. I've had the Covid jab but not yet the little green 7 eyed Martian bug jab.....

You are safe there Andy as it’s not coming back.

Samples that it collects are being placed into plastic bags which will be sealed and left on the surface ready for collection by a future mission (I kid you not). This collection will not be before 2031

Still a better service than TNT.

I suspect a bit harsh on TNT. Yet somehow, every parcel from my work that has been sent since Jan 1st, in or out of Europe, has taken forever. There might be another reason for that though. I can't imagine what...

Finally back on topic - even though it’s phrased really badly, I’m taking this to mean that it’s all over and we’re null-and-voided.

I presume that they’ve used the phrase that the season “should be curtailed with immediate effect” rather than that it is declared null and void because they want to cover themselves in case there are any changes?
But surely there weren’t enough matches played for PPG or some other codge.
And didn’t last season’s expunging set a precedent?

On second thoughts, perhaps it’s just really shit copywriting.

[YeltzDoc]

From the oracle -

Clubs at Step 3-6 were surveyed on the outcome of the season:

In answer to 'Does your club hold an immediate view as to what should happen to the 2020/21 season?'

Steps 3 & 4:
63% Null & Void
16% Aug Restart
21% Other

Steps 5 & 6:
55% Null & Void
14% Aug Restart
31% Other

So this suggests that they’ve said, “curtailed” to leave some wriggle room.
