OFFICIAL: Manchester City will be reducing activity across the Etihad Campus closing the City Store, Ticket Office and Stadium Tours from tomorrow, until further notice, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Clubs have given assurances they will release players for revised European tournaments. Exclusivity of slots has been removed so league games can be played on European nights and European games on weekends. [via @sistoney67]

There was no discussion today about playing games behind-closed-doors games and whether players would be willing to play in them. [@ben_rumsby]

The dippers are probably putting foward some really stupid ideas to keep the season going

Yes apparently the last 10 results are being based on burglary statistics, not even a need for VAR

They simply cannot be awarded the title until they've accrued the points required. Ending the season now and just giving them the trophy isn't going to happen because you'd have to lock in every other league position and most clubs won't agree to that. The season will be voided.

Football will be back by the autumn however imho

True or not true (From RAWK or made up shit):



"THE most important thing to happen this year has been LFC winning the title for the first time in 30 years, no amount of infections should be allowed to take the shine off that"


.

the fact that an actual human being wrote that, without being banned and his post deleted immediately, tells you all you need to know.

That last idea is ridiculous. What about teams that get promoted and relegated. How are their points meant to count

We are clearly not dealing with a Mastermind contender, I’ll cite the suggestion that this virus thing is a “mountain out of a moal hill” as proof.

I think your analysis fails at the first presumption.

Will the favourite for the Grand National now be awarded "winner 2020 " ?

It has taken China the best part of 4 months to get back to any kind of normality
Working of that logic would suggest that football in this country could start sometime in July.
And that is a very big COULD ,personally I wouldn't believe anything that comes out of China at the moment and see very little hope of any sport in this country until October

China has a full lockdown here is like a fucking carry on film with this so called leadership and the football governing arseholes. We won't get football until the new year at the earliest in this country. It's all hypothetical bollocks don't peopel see what's happening across Europe ffs..
