You can't agree that I'd feel different? ?

Yes, its going to be a boost having our two best players back, not least the ones who score all our goals. No question.

Although, tiresome though it may be to continue to point it out, we are actually just a year on from Poch-era-peak of challenging for our first ever CL title. It's harder for me to take the abrupt end and restart of the club's recent identity... one that I strongly identified with.

So from a personal perspective, if Pochettino were still here, I'd feel more personally engaged in Spurs right now.
Come on buddy, when I said I can't agree that meant that I saw things differently, that does not mean I can't agree with you having your own opinion. The highs of our CL run feels a world away now :-(

Being very sad at the moment, and watching some Aussie Rugby League live on Sky.
I honestly didn't realise there wasn't a crowd because of all the "crowd noises" they are pumping into ground.

If something similar can be created for Premier League, and German stats are showing the game intensity and stat levels are same as before lockdown, we may not notice much difference.
German league are doing similar but with noises being put over top of the game for tv ( so still no sound in actual stadium ).

BT haven’t used the feature yet but I’ve watched a couple games on Fox America that have in its a far better viewing experience with it on

I find myself rather unexcited about this. I wish they'd just cancelled it and let us have the summer free from footy.
You do have a choice about watching the games or even following the results. I would imagine there will be a lot of footy fans who maybe watch a game or two to see what it's like then decide they actually prefer doing other stuff.

Your are free to do whatever you want with your summer my friend. Apart from going to pubs, going on holiday or being within 2 metres of anyone. But apart from that! (y)

Good Idea. Maybe there should be a red button choice of sound effects:

1 Obscene Chanting

2 Loony Tunes.

3 Patriotic Anthems

4 Porno Soundtrack

5 Benny Hill Theme Tune

Whatever happens it’s unquestionably been ruined for Liverpool supporters which is pretty hysterical after a 30 year wait, I’d be absolutely devastated if it was us would feel very hollow. Most likely they will limp over the line and that will be people’s memory not some all conquering team.

Not for me, winning the league would still be winning the league. But we should make it as uncomfortable for Liverpool fans as possible. They're such a despicable bunch in the main, I'll be happy if they have not ruined for them.

I've quite liked the crowd noise Fox put on the Bundesliga games to be honest, it's worked surprisingly well. But I think that's partly because I don't speak Germany. It'll feel very weird if it's a Premier League game and most of the chants can't be used. I'm assuming no swear words, no Yids, no negative chants above other players, teams or officials. Which will probably leave them with Glory Glory, Come On You Spurs and He's One of Our Own on repeat for months on end. Or even worse, they start making up new chants to play...

Fears of limited, repetitive chanting? With our huge variety of witty songs this will be very difficult for Spurs fans to deal with.

If I don't get to hear [insert player name] sung to the tune of Seven Nation Army 5000 times per match I will be livid.

Sounds like high profile games will be moved to neutral venues. I hope we oppose that as it means our home games against Man U, arsenal and West Ham could be moved. That’s hardly fair it’s virtually all our home games!

Seems there's only 5 games and none of them are ours. They all involve Liverpool or Man City and weirdly Man Utd v Sheffield Utd

They'll be selling this as the big story for the remainder of the season: the battle for Champions League through 5th place. Gives them an excuse to push Man Utd front and centre (as if they need one) along with a plucky underdog story in Sheffied United.

Maybe even us if we are capable of not being shit.

I don't think it matters really.
Bundesliga has shown that home advantage does not exist whilst behind closed doors, and if anything is possibly a hindrance, so if we play at The Lane or St Georges Park or wherever would make no difference to our chances of winning games.
The only thing is if we are not at home, we may lose a little bit of money, because our pitch side advertisers may not be displayed, but may be a workaround for that anyway.
I guess we'd host other high profile moved games to compensate?

One suggestion was that all/most of the moved games would be played at Wembley, because with all the perimeters etc it's pretty easy to police and stop fans getting anywhere close.

Olympic stadium would be better, even in the ground you can't get close....

Some are mentioning the loss of Son and Kane whilst forgetting Sissoko /Davies / for quite a while Bergwijn / Dele .
So I make it half the team for the last six games you take six starters out of any team and there would be a struggle to win . for this reason I am optimistic about the restart as teams will not be getting what was almost a bye .

I hope so, but it was partly because of the lack of depth. We literally have two fallbacks and one striker, it's ridiculous. Odds are that they're going to need rotating or will get injured again at some point in the rest of the season.

Sorry, read this a few times, and still not sure what you are going on about.

Dele didn't miss the last 6 games, nor Davies, nor Bergwijn
