Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[bluemanchester]

i hear that china have just developed a remedy that kills the virus stone dead, the ingredients are 1 eye of a tiger, 1 giant panda bell end,1 black bear nose and the sweat off a sumo wrestler, put in a blender and add 100mil of pangolin piss, blend together strain into a badgers ball sack, leave overnight and drink chilled and bobs your uncle you're cured

Will not work. Not enough badgers

Surely given the wealth of these clubs they should all be testing everybody right now.

Something weird about that, if WHO are saying one thing, the entire world bracing for it to get worse how can China have beaten it?

Cancel all football after this weekend.
Cancel the sesson if the virus is not getting contained after a month.
These last minute cancellations are no good for anybody.
Plan ahead and stick to the decision.
No champions or relegation decided.Season null and void.

All football and other sport should be suspended Now!

You’re right. Sky and BT and the PL and UEFA will be lobbying behind the scenes for the season to continue as long as possible. Govt will be torn between trying to look tough on the virus and worrying about the economic downturn.

Cancelling not going to be an option. Far to much money involved. Sod the health of players and supporters. Money is king.

Thank you for sharing. Beautiful video of a key milestone.

The world owes China a great debt. Their scientists saved a lot of live by sequencing the virus in record time which allowed people the world over to diagnose and hence isolate the virus.

Decisive action from UEFA. Declaring that they're going to have a meeting next week.
