Spurs (H) - Postponed due to the passing of the Queen (pg67)

With Prince William being the president of the FA, there’s not a chance this weekends games go ahead.

While I understand the decision, the consequences of postponing matches this season are far greater due to the idiocy of staging a World Cup mid season. Players are going to be run into the ground from December to May.

Exactly my take

Ridiculous. Have a minute's silence, sing the anthem. People can pay their respects at the game or not attend if they wish.

Totally bizarre. Would understand a lot more next weekend due to the funeral happening on the 19th.

Watching Villa might take his mind off things.

Hasn't he suffered enough?

It sounds like both the govt and palace have made clear that sporting events can go ahead - and are briefing that they don't want lots of cancellations. I guess, reading the mood, they are worried about being blamed when huge amounts of people would rather just get on with their lives.

PL supposed to be meeting as we speak, apparently postponed till they had guidance, so if they've got explicit permission to go ahead, I'd be surprised if they cancelled.

It's not like a few columnists in the Daily Mail or on GBNews complaining would have any effect on the future of football.

They're damned if they do and damned if they don't really.

Sadly in this country we have one load of nutters who seem to be actively gleeful that a 96 year old woman has died and calling for street parties and a socialist revolution, and another load of nutters who seem intent on covering every surface with flags and insisting on everyone dressing in black and mourning for the next month..
