Hindsight is a wonderful thing and I am now starting to think we
might have made a mistake restarting the season in June. Would
have given the leagues more leeway this season had we started
the season beginning of August

It doesn't make much sense to me to have written off last season
to try and get this one played in its entirety - especially as
it wouldn't have been known (and still isn't) if that can be
100% be achieved. At least this season there has been the
understanding that average points per game etc. could be used so
people know what they're dealing with a bit more.
Perhaps they could consider delaying the FA Cup third round
fixtures until next season, reducing the need for different
teams from different leagues to mix, giving many teams a break
on 3rd round weekend and giving a few more slots in the season
for postponed games to be played. I doubt it will happen because
of financial impact it would have for FA/broadcasting but I can
imagine many 3rd round games having to be either postponed or
forfeited (not entirely sure what the rules are.)

Everywhere else is now on their winter break so their leagues
are not going anyway. We return from the winter break on 23rd
Jan - well that's the scheduled date anyway. Very short winter
break this season as we didn't finish until 23rd December.

Not everywhere. Spain are playing through, Italy having a short
break, France and Germany slightly longer. The point is the
same though, if the scheduled start of the Euros stays the same
none of the leagues have any wriggle room to put unscheduled
breaks in. They would all have to get together and persuade
UEFA to push it back.

That's why we finished late with rescheduled games from weeks 10
& 11. Still 3 more games carried over from autumn season to
spring season, 2 scheduled for January, 1 not re-scheduled yet
and we re-start at a time when the snow is normally at its
worst, just to add weather into the mix! Our last scheduled week
is 8th May, we only have 3 scheduled midweek rounds, out of the
17 left, but 5 rounds of cup games to fit in, which are normally
midweek, 2 in Feb, 1 in march, 1 in April and the final 5th May.
As you say - no wiggle room.
International break 20th & 27th March doesn't help either.

Reading over social media and everyone is saying the Villa vs
United game was won due to an error by VAR for the penalty but
for me I think it is a defo penalty.

Also, Ian Hussin and Daniel Robathan replace Darren Cann and
Harry Lennard on this match. Graham Scott also replaces Jon Moss
as the Var. Michael Oliver replaces Darren England as fourth
official and Tim Wood replaces Steven Child as Assistant VAR.
Interestingly, Scott was fourth official for the Tottenham v
Leeds game earlier in the day. Change all round!!

Wonder when this change was made and if anyone else had been
appointed to Burnley V Fulham tomorrow before it was postponed?
