I don’t know if you follow Simon Brodkin on Twitter - he’s the comedian who satirises premiership footballers with his character Jason Bent.
He’s really going for it at the moment - proper targeting the elite footballers - AND VERY FUNNY !
Here’s a couple of his recent tweets - worth a watch

This was legendary:



Video of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pqO6tK8_Wg

He's pulled off some awesome pranks/stunts over the years. I haven't seen he's been posting on Twitter but the Jason Bent character was great. I recommend watching his sketch show and the 110% Bent ones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVm46VADn8I

PL players seem to be getting targeted, what about billionaires in the UK, what about all those oil tycoons from Europe living in London. There’s a lot of people who earn more than football players but they don’t seem to be getting the same hate.

Athletes are always targeted like this. I'm not saying that is normal, but the general perception is that they are massively overpaid, therefore they are among the first ones to get social media rage.

In other news, this seems fairly important. UEFA president said he's confident Liverpool would receive the title in any case.

The season will finish as has been said all along, ‘when it’s sate to do so’.

This lockdown will still go on for another month probably but football will probably be back in June. I’m missing the football too, weekends suck now. No football, no restaurants, no bars.

Anybody wanna bet vs me?  I say the EPL won't return anymore and the FA will end the season as is with the current points.  10 bucks...  I won't accept anything less than 3 to 1.

Very critical position as two members already doing against each other and not trying to sit and done some good deal but hopefully we will have in near future as all locked down.

I miss football (the local one) every year, cause my team is rarely involved in UEFA tournaments, so i'm used to those brakes
But now is a little bit different, there is no other leagues, so yes, I miss football more than ever too

I already did.  3 to 1.  My 10 for your 30...  But since I like you, let's do your 20 for my 10.  I just want a small bet going for fun.

Do you like me as well?
Because I'll gladly take these 2 to 1 odds if they are available. Also a 'just for fun' bet in these boring times, I will let you choose the amount we're betting for. I think 10$ were mentioned, so 20 from me if the season finishes as it currently stands without any more games being played.
Willing to go as high as 100$ tho, so let me know if we're betting and for how much

Quoted and booked.  It's on! 

Sorry cryptofrka, DeathAngel got dibs.  But let's do something next time. 

[cryptofrka]

No worries, my offer still stands for other potential interested parties though. I have really high conviction that this one will be completed before the next one starts, even if we need to wait a few more months for that to happen.

Good luck with the bet, boys - and I'll be waiting for the next one then

[buwaytress]

@mbitr and hilarious Damn thanks for introducing that to me! I follow (via ESPN/Soccernet) the exploding heads and I think they're a riot, especially love when they're just taking a dig at every football player doing stuff on socials. I think it's a pity only they don't do it more often and they don't post everything on Twitter: https://twitter.com/exploding_heads

Yeah, we all miss footie.

@toke: you're asking for 3/1 if FA cancels this season? And you weren't willing to give more than 2/1 on a Liverpool unbeaten season? =D

[tokeweed]

^  First of all I suck at betting, second I didn't think Liverpool would lose for the rest of their fixtures and third I think the season's gonna end as is with the current points. 

And since I suck I think it's gonna be another from 10 bucks for DeathAngel.  Lolol.

Haha, let’s wait & see. Will be interesting to see what happens, it’s only been lockdown in UK for 3 weeks but with no PL football, it feels lice much longer?

[tokeweed]

^  That post should be I got another 'free' 10 bucks for you, not 'from'.    But I think you got the point.

So I guess we'll see what's gonna happen around May..?

I'm surprised you're wanting to take this. I'm half interested in taking you up on it. I really can't see them scrapping the league all together. There would be a multitude of lawsuits from every direction. You've got Liverpool who will essentially be stripped of their first Premier League title and then there'll be teams like Sheffield and Wolves who are possibly missing out on Europa/possibly even Champion's League places. Then there'll be teams like Leeds and West Brom who will sue for their promotions from the Championship. Then there's also the billion plus pounds the PL will owe in refunds for the TV rights which could be devastating for them and sour their relationship with the broadcasters. I think the best solution for everyone would just be to pause it indefinitely until they can play the remaining games. That seems like the best and most reasonable solution. Football isn't going to be cancelled forever so just play the games as soon as they can. Voiding the league is going to cause so many problems and to deny Liverpool of their title seems unthinkable. Leeds also won't be happy as they've been out of the PL so long.

Okok...  Can we wait until the first matches are played?  I'll pay you then.  You just never know..  I don't trust anything I read right now.  At first I really thought this whole thing was gonna over in a couple weeks or so.  But now...  Dunno.
