Arsenal (h) - MATCH POSTPONED (tweets on page 16)

Only just woken up and seen the news so apologies for not reading the thread.

What does this mean for
a) Arsenal's last opponents, do they need to lock down?
b) Arsenal's weekend opponents, is that match cancelled too?

Surely this disruption now means we cancel this season and just pretend it never happened??

Both teams have really shit themselves here,

Luckily they have stockpiled loo roll

Why is our game called off but a game 30 miles away that takes place at the same time involving the arrival of fans from an infected area isn't?

Imagine... the season ends now and Liverpool don’t actually manage to win the league. Come on Corona!

If it ends now, they’ll be given the league, no problem there.
If footy is cancelled now, it’s us who are more likely to suffer imho with regards to trying to win the champs league

The reality of candlepool lifting the premier league in front of an empty stadium with no one there but a camera man and Martin Tyler is so piss funny. A 30 year wait finally ended but ruined by a global pandemic. You couldn't make it up, they are the comedy club even in victory pmsl!

Edit - and no parade after lol

Probably the least bothered Ive ever been about a City game being postponed. Was going to have to drive to Manchester for a meeting this morning, then drive home to Nottinghamshire to pick the lad up and drive back to Manchester for the match. Happy Days!

Because some of Arsenal’s players met the Olympiacos owner after their game last week and he’s now a confirmed case

Least we can all watch Liverpool in their quest to suck the ball into the net with their roar now! Every cloud eh....

Come on Athletico please don't let us down.

Clearly the only fair way forward is to call the League a draw for this season. Nobody's relegated, nobody win's it - surely nobody could complain about that?
