Good riddance

We can’t play, arsenal can’t play Chelsea and Leicester can’t play. How can they mathematically win it ?

Win 2 out of their remaining 9 games.

Liverpool deserve it.
Give over.

Did they deserve the incredible luck they had had before Watford? They have outperformed their xG by 20 points which is probably unseen in any league.

I mean, they might have been a tad better than us but by 22 pts better? No way. I haven't seen so much luck over a league season: from opposition keepers letting the ball through their legs to opposition players missing multiple clear chances to favourable refereeing decisions...

I can see the premier league looking at who liverpool have got left to play than choosing two teams who havent got the Corona virus bring those games forward so liverpool play twice in a few days . Job done than the fa can think about the population of England because the premier league have their champions.

Something not adding up here other leagues are at least postponed, but here we just keep going regardless of the risk to EVERY one.

It's a good job VAR have helped liverpool so much ..

What are the chances of the PL confounding everyone by deciding that all games involving teams without a positive case of CV to go ahead behind closed doors?

This wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest..

This will happen I think. They want this season to end, they have no morals.

Only seems to be the teams with the prospect of relegation screaming for it to be voided, what would happen to the prize money for the the other placed teams, plus tv broadcasters way too much at stake.

Let’s remember this is about more than the PL winners there’s lots more to consider
European places
Relegation
Promotion
Cup competitions
It involves the whole of the football pyramid
Lots remains undecided, so there is no way that the season can be declared as competed until all matches at all levels have been decided. Therefore the decision should be made at UEFA level, initially to cancel all cup competitions and to suspend leagues for4 weeks pending upon a review, with the option then, to void the season or continue in some form
I don’t see the season being valid until everything is magically certain regardless of how many points a club is ahead Any criteria would have to be applied across the whole of football

And you postpone till when? It supposed to get worse in May/June/July, it’s impossible to play them unless, if Mendy is self isolating the whole team should be it’s ducking ridiculous, the premier league is probably one industry that can survive not working for 3 months there is that much money in it and yet we are fannying about.

Just postponed for a month and than see where we are .

I didnt want to go to Wembley, and I really dont want my son to go on Saturday.
