Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

[give it to gordon]

Time for the "pools panel" to be reformed

You say that but I heard a dipper on talksport drive saying that's how they should sort relegation and promotion, and he was serious ! To be fair both presenters were laughing at him.

Imagine city were 20 odd points lead at the top what do you think the majority of the premier league clubs would want?

They do deserve it, but when I think of the whole FFP situation with them possibly in with the rest of the cartel trying to fuck us over and the hacking of our computers, I would be fucking delighted to see them cry.

they deserve it when its mathematically impossible for us to catch them and not until

We’re all bias towards City, but I fully believe the prem would cancel the season, no problems.

Strangely enough I am in the camp of finding a way to finish the season somehow or other and whenever that is.

Yes that means Liverpool will be champions but so what? Would it really feel better if the whole season was scrapped?

You have to take the rough with the smooth and the fact is our league campaign has been very rough so it’s not a case of us being denied the chance to be champions.

All joking aside about Liverpool, football is irrelevant now in my eyes

Cant believe that the majority of the premier teams want to finish the league!!

RT @MartinLipton: Vast majority of PL clubs believe season must be completed. Two clubs have asked for cancellation but that is not on agenda at this stage. Initial suspension through international break with hope if an April return but suspect May more likely. In truth, nobody knows

Especially this clown

At this stage it's nothing to do with football, rivalries, who wins what.
It's crazy not to suspend all major events now. It's very harsh on Liverpool in particular, but it's not just about them. If it was us I'd be gutted.
But there are all the other leagues too, besides the PL.
This should be a decision for the good of the national health.
Part of your collective action strategy.

I can't see any other decision, other than suspending the leagues. If it get's as bad as some predict, then it will be cancelled.
The euros will be gone too.
This is bigger than football.

Just off over to RAWK to read the conspiracy theories ;)

With Everton out of the picture now that may more than anything else lead to the Prem doing the right thing...no Monday derby, no title.

So if the premiership is cancelled does that mean we will be raining champions next season.

It never rains but it pours!

Watford dropping now.
