On the plus side it won't be an intimidating atmosphere.
It will be a strange experience for the players having no fans there. Both teams will have to work a bit harder on self motivation. Hope and pray we don’t get to the point of doing the same in the uk. There is evidently going to be a government meeting tomorrow with sports bodies and broadcasters where the prospect of playing sporting events behind closed doors is on the agenda.
Probably more difficult for Olympiacos than for us not having the home crowd to cheer them on
Probably true gem, and they do seem a wild bunch over there. Their match against big rivals PAOK was abandoned a year or two ago because of the volume of flares in the crowd and the volume of toilet rolls thrown on the pitch
Little did they know then that toilet roll would be in high demand.
Not relevant for this Europa game but Saiss picked up his 9th premier League booking of the season on Saturday. If he gets another card in any of the next three league games he will face a 2 game suspension
While we look forward to another European game we should congratulate our former manager Paul Lambert who recently had his contract with Ipswich extended to 2025.
Paul as a manager has won 4 of his last 20 games in League One, 2 of his last 20 in the championship, 2 of his last 25 in the premier league and 2 of his last 26 in the spl.
This is mainly governments trying to avoid embarrassment at not being able to contain the virus because they dont have the same control over their populations as the Chinese government.

Wow, that is quite a staggering record
ipswich had to act fast, lots of clubs after a manager with a record like that ....
not.
Didn't realise he was that bad. Unbelievable that he still gets a job, anywhere.

Five years from now they will be in the Europa and top seven in the league
Not sure what went wrong really as they were top of the table only a couple of months ago and seemingly flying. Must be Lambert's personality really taking hold.
Great video of Alf's birthday. He's nearly as old as some on here

Nothing went wrong. Mick McCarthy did the same at Ipswich as he did at Wolves, he got a bunch of average players to punch above their weight. Unfortunately, on both occasions it only lasted for long before the inevitable decline set in.
Agree with lone wolf and gem.
Agree with Cinci, Lone Wolf and Gem.
Agree with me, Boston, Gem, Cinci, uncle Herbert and lone wolf.
Despite not being introduced until the 64th minute against Brighton on Saturday, Adama Traore still completed more dribbles during Wolves' 0-0 draw than any other player.
Five successful runs during those 26 minutes saw him become the first player to complete 50 dribbles in the Premier League in 2020, on average recording a successful run with the ball every 11.6 minutes this year.
As a result, Traore boasts the highest frequency of completed dribbles in the Premier League since 2003-04 (when that data started to be collected), in front of Southampton's Sofiane Boufal and Newcastle's Allan Saint-Maximin by three minutes.
Traore has had a fabulous season and be sad for him and the team if his contribution is reduced or even ended by his shoulder problem. There's a buzz in the air from the Wolves fans whenever he gets on the ball. And it was amusing at Spurs last week that there was audible anxiety from the home fans whenever he was on the ball too
