Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[City Raider]

Did you hear about some Iranians who heard that alcohol kills the virus (true) but who killed themselves through alcohol poisoning?

I am waiting for someone to invent a modified mask that not only provides a physical barrier to anti-viral particles but kills the virus. A soapy mask? Must be possible.

Remember London plague and ring-a-ring a roses a pocket full of posies, a tissue a tissue we all fall down?

A-tishoo?

Lol Uefa will definitely do all in their power for this game to play behind closed doors. Will probably be the loudest booing ever recorded

Edit: Don't now if anyone's mentioned it but both Courtois and Marcelo are rules out for the second leg, which means Areola starts in goal. Might as well try to shoot from any angle as he's the French Bravo

Do you think Areola will make a tit of himself?

Mercedes Benz stadium Shirley? ....

Can see it behind closed doors now
Uefa and Madrid will be delighted.
Will BT free to air?

No point even doing that. The tournament will surely be cancelled, might as well make that decision now.

Match will be cancelled and the whole competition for this season scrapped. Followed by the PL season cancellation.

City's game v Arsenal now postponed which will open a few more questions and raise the possibility of a shut down....

The level of the River Mersey is rising due to the tears of Scousers sobbing their hearts out lol

 

[city2]

Wiped from the record books haha

 

[thereWasATime]

League is probably gonna get canceled.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Getafe are refusing to travel to Milan for their Thursday night cup game.

If it's not cancelled and behind closed doors, and there are no fans to show uefa a message, we should proudly wear our 125th anniversary kit as a show of solidarity with the fans watching on the telly that we won't let them strip us of anything.
The announcers will mention the kit and everyone watching around the world will know we have history and are significant.

maybe, but for sure he will milk this chance for all it's worth.

 

[mrtwiceaseason]

100 % certain some member of the real Madrid set up will have been in contact with someone who has it in from the Madrid area,
If the arsenal games gone, this one will go too.

That comment gets the booby prize

Hopefully all champions league matches behind closed doors forever then we don’t have to attend the shithouse tournament but won’t fall behind on ticket points

 

[birch villa]

UEFA rejected our request to postpone the game at Olympiacos

Fucking joke wolves shud fuck em off

 

[M18CTID]

madness when the owner has it and has been in contact with the players - stupid risk to take

And yet City v Arsenal tonight is off due to Arsenal players and staff coming into contact with the Olympiacos owner. UEFA have just made themselves look even bigger ****s than they are by refusing to postpone your game mate.

 

[Oyster28catcher]

Imagine the internet boos, UEFA.com will crash

 

[urban genie]

If Arse are self isolating then shirley their games against brighton and possibly norwich fall i to the 14 day period?

Also they have played west ham since olympiarkos so shouldn't they also self isolate? Meaning hammers v wolves should also be off at weekend?

And pompey too
