Does anybody think this season will

Relegation teams have had 2/3rds of the season to get safe, dont really have a leg to stand on. yes they might have their better fixtures to c ome in the remaining 9 games but again nothings guarenteed theyd survive with them anyway and someone has to lose out and that comes down to luck of the draw which is done randomly by a machine before a balls even kicked. its a hell of a lot fairer than calling it off and keeping teams who've played two thirds of a season down and out.

Why would you punish leeds fulham etc over villa? theyve earned their right, whereas villa etc havent hence theyre in relegation spots after 2/3rds of a season.

I dont believe itll be called off, it doesnt make sense to, suspended and finished in the summer if anything, or crawl over the line for the remaining 2 months behind closed doors.

“ CANCEL THE PL. THINK OF THE ELDERLY.”

No one’s forcing the elderly to go to the game. Is they’re worried about their health stay at home and scrub their hands with Oven Pride.Simple.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's not about the elderly attending

I'm wanting the PL to cease immediately to stop the spread of the virus which ultimately affects the elderly and the ill.

The world is bigger than Liverpool
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And cease it may. Then resume when the worst of it is over.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That could be months. How will the PL cram so many games in the height of summer, during the transfer window, during players holidays and possibly the Euros.

Just wipe the slate clean and forget about this season. We go again in September
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If it could take months then there's no guarantee next season will start as scheduled so might as well just finish this one.

The logical solution is, if required, cancel Euro 2020 to next year, extend the domestic seasons into the summer, begin next season late, try and squeeze games in over a normal season length to end on time or more or less in May 2021

TBH its not that different to when Qatar have the 2022 World Cup and domestic seasons will cease for 5-6 week through Nov-Dec

2/3rds in and 2 months left of this season, it has to finish really, even if it means eating into next season. Theres no guarantee next season will start on time anyway. Unless the entire world goes into 2-4 week shutdown together theres no escaping it just delaying the inevitable imo.

Labour leadership announcement and all hustings postponed, so we have Jezza for a while yet!

I agree that those down the bottom have nobody to blame but themselves but if the leagues are going to be frozen then in the interests of fairness everybody needs to have played the same number of games.

thats true, but logically, pretty much 2/3rds into a season it'd be fairer ending everything as it stands now than erasing 2/3rds of all the hard work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What about Villa?

They have played a games less than those around them and if they win the game in hand they climb out of the relegation zone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Him & tooth bloke are $hitting themselves that the season is cancelled is a genuine possibility

If they made Liverpool champions now then they’d have to relegate Norwich, villa & Bournemouth, which would have huge financial implications for all three clubs. The legal ramifications that would ensue would far belittle awarding Liverpool a title so I’d imagine the governing bodies would be more inclined to just bin this season off, & that’s without considering the European places up for grabs.
Reset to where everyone was first day of this season is the only viable proposition

I was watching PMQ's yesterday and wondering how much longer we'd have to put up with the useless old buzzard.

More importantly is when will they also shut all pubs. That can only be a matter of time as well.

Lots of clubs have escaped relegation and been promoted, in the final 10 games. So would be completely nonsensical to do anything bar just cancelling the season completely. No ups, no downs.

The Leadership contest has not been postponed though, the result will be announced on the same day that it would have been anyway.

was watching some WHO doctor on the news at lunch and she was insisting that it would be best to have a blanket ban on all sporting activities right now.

She added that it might not be a case of just self isolating for a couple of weeks and could be until December to be pretty safe.

So just cancel the football season now and start afresh in December/January. Play half a season of fixtures. Maybe carry over half this seasons points totals.

I was thinking that earlier, I've got a bit of p1ss up planned on Saturday afternoon/night with some old work colleagues.

I might end up at home watching Netflix instead.

He put Johnson completely in his place. We currently have PM that is dithering over the worse crisis probably since the World War II. Johnson has not got a clue what he is doing.

The season will be completed at some point.

It is only a matter of time mate, before all pubs are shut. If you are going to stop people congregating at footie, then surely you have to stop people congregating in packed pubs. Especially on a Friday or Saturday evening.

Talkshiete have been talking about the entire season being voided, I can see it happening, what is Sport in the grand scheme of things when people are dying.

Doubt it mate, absolutely no way will any club be able to fit in finishing 10 games. Season will just be annulled I think. Only sensible option.

Another five years of the Tories, and all the traitors will all come running back with their tail between their legs.

Tories basically just mimicking Tories anyway. Disgusting that we had 10 years of Austerity, then all of a sudden, the Tory Chancellor has said he will borrow billions, when they could have done that years back. So hypocritical, saying Labour would tank the economy with to much borrowing, then they are going to do exactly the same.

Billy, absolute. I really do love my footie, but at the expense of people dying. No thanks. I will surive without my footie. Health should absolutely be the overriding factor.

Wishful thinking!

And even if it is, it won’t deflect from our appalling season and the criticism rightly directed towards Levy and Jose.
