Really struggling to watch with the crowd noise on. Just find it irritating and waste of time so gone to the "normal" player only noise. Palace off to a flyer. I've had a mare with my predictions

I much prefer the player / coach shouting and generic ambient noise. One of the things I like about going to the local non-league games and the women's football is the ability to hear the players and coaches communicate.
Obviously a bit harder via pitch side mics etc. But I love it! Far better than "piped" crowd noise, even if professionally I love the way it's done!
I use to love going to places like Plough Lane when Wimbledon were non-league and when they came up and sit in the stand just behind the dugouts and listen to the managers. Also loved watching goalkeepers close up (front of the terrace) and study how they positioned themselves and how they marshalled their defence
Did anyone else feel the ground shake? Joelinton scored for Newcastle ??. We really do live in strange times.

What about his mis-hit ?
I think that was the real joelinton ?.
He is nowhere near PL level in any aspect of his game.

Silly him right?
As if playing in empty stadiums isn’t enough.

After watching this weeks games,I can honestly say,it was the most boring week of Football I have ever seen...
Without the fans,there isn't a product in my opinion.
No matter how Sky,Talksport,MotD dress it up,it is rubbish.
No fans = No football

Lower league footy does OK with minimal fans. I've even enjoyed watching Sunday league before.
Of course us winning 3-0 may also have something to do with my enjoyment of it....

I'm with you on this.
No atmosphere, no edge, just like a practice game.
And as for the ludicrous "crowd" on TV. Pathetic!
The most I have managed to watch of any game has been 60 minutes before I have to get up and find something else to do.

It was nothing to do with fans, all the teams just played rubbish. They were like pre-season warm-up games.

I would much rather have the current situation with 'piped' crowd noises etc than no football at all until possibly next year at the earliest.

I think that the quality of games will improve as teams adjust and the intensity picks up.
However, I don't think that I will ever be able to put up with the phoney crowd noise.

It's both, awful standard and zero atmosphere. I must have watched 15 minutes of it since the season restarted, just got no interest in the current format.
