The only part of football I care about at the moment is ensuring the survival of 100-1000's little clubs down the English Pyramid who are likely to go under if this drags on for long. Not a few bloated Premiership parasites who should have managed their finances better. If PL really believes starting the league is about integrity why don't they & Sky announce all the TV money owed goes instead to the sides down the pyramid. Unfortunately, pigs might fly. Though both Manchester sides & Liverpool might agree for different reasons.
Could they void the PL due to the Coronavirus? | No | Resuming June 17th

Once you're asking:
So that we, hopefully, finally get rid of a few Liverpool* fans, especially those who are doing their best to take over our United (13 - 20) forum.
Maybe we can then put up a notice saying: Come back when you win 20 leagues.
Great post. Its the smaller clubs that get forgotten in all of this. Without them there is no grassroots and lots of communities may lose the heart of soul of their area.
Not forgetting that every football match would require medical staff to be present and probably police as well. That would really go down well with the general public.
See you this time next year then.Once you're asking:

If you cannot digest those numbers I posted, the problem is yours!
Everything has to be opened eventually, including football, but those choices have to be smart, and the de-escalation has to be scientific.
With hundreds of people dying in the UK every day, we haven’t reached that stage in this epidemic when non-essential entertainment activities involving intimate barrier-less contact between players can be envisaged. And I don’t even want to go into the endless debate on the availability and the accuracy of the Covid-19 rapid tests that are being planned for mass testing.

The PL has to be done now

Maybe if we have two teams of brothers and staff, match officials etc that happen to live in the same massive house, might get away with it then ?
So why are you posting on a football forum?
Not having a go, but these sort of posts are bizarre. We've done this over and over on this thread. You can talk about football as a relief from the real world disaster, and no-one is proposing anything above anyone's health. If you can find someone who has done, please share it.
Yeah, I think we learn from Liverpool doing the come back when you win 18, and us mocking City's lack of a trophy enough to NOT be doing that....Once you're asking:

In Liverpool they all shag each other anyway so chances are the home grown talent are all related to each other one way or another.
They'll get the title by hook or by incest.
I've not totally followed each comment on this thread but has anyone suggested a statistically worked method of "points per game" based on - home and away fixtures to play with an allowance for the quality of opposition and also including recent form of the team and opposition ?
I'm sure this would be possible and become the fairest prediction of the end of season positions.
If we did manage to get the remaining fixtures played - Liverpool would be "resting" players in the squad after the win the league and mid table teams wouldn't have anything to play for etc etc - I know this can happen in most seasons but with CV it will become even more likely.
I seem to remember a certain manager saying football was more important than "life and death" - if playing out the season results in just one more death that's come true......

League 1 and 2 are apparently talking about PPG split on home and away games completed.
But they won't dip down to difficulty of games played or taken.
It is flawed though as if there's any time of season games throw up oddities it's when teams are scrapping for their lives.
That football being more important than life of death was always a metaphorical thing, as only an idiot would believe it otherwise.
Had enough now. Cancel the league this year.
When is UEFA's deadline of when you have to finish a League?
Not only that but you get some weird results from mid table sides when the heat is off. That will be magnified by 50 if they have to have preseason before they play for nothing during a pandemic.

I come on a United forum and have to read Liverpool fans telling us every single reason why this season MUST continue.
I apologise if this attitude gets my back up but it does .
There are zero relevant arguments to even think about finishing a football season in the UK atm .
Maybe if hundreds of people are not dying every day then we can have that discussion.
In my eyes the people calling for football to return asap are proposing football over people's health and that is what annoys me .
I'm posting on a football forum for the same reason as yourself I'm guessing ?

All that gives a bit more balance to your original gambit of "I couldn't give a toss about football atm".
If true, stay away from footy forums pal!
Most of us have hours in the day to fill at the moment, and while of course football isn't that key in the scheme of life, we're still interested in wondering how it'll pan out of course.
Other than alot of clubs fighting to exist still if this goes as long as it could, so getting in some playing time whilst they can, and more importantly revenue now, whilst knowing full well there are massive issues ahead, is surely sensible.
We have Weatherpersons saying they want to open in June, airlines looking to the government for help, hospitality up and down the country furloughing staff, yet football is expected to bare the brunt, whilst still not been allowed to plan for a restart as soon as they can.
Mate I own restaurants and other businesses I know more than most about furloughing staff and the stress it brings . It's sad that some clubs may fold but lots of businesses will fold because of this situation.
Not one single life is worth opening my restaurants or playing football for .
Just my humble opinion
25th of may is the deadline for a Plan to finish, I think.
This is rubbish mostly.
Majority of Liverpool fans will obviously want the season to continue but the ones in here haven’t made a thing about doing so “at all costs” . This is a blatant untruth.
And as for everyone else, again it’s always been if/and when lockdown is lifted for everyone else too hence the June restart dates. The discussions are based on this premise. I don’t think I’ve seen one person suggest football should get the go ahead before everything else or as soon as possible. And then you’ve got at least half the thread who don’t believe football should restart at all. So you’re having a go at an imaginary group of people.
Seems like you’ve just strolled in this thread without having actually read most of it, made some assumptions, taken your position on top of your moral high horse and dropped a big load of verbal diarrhoea.
But restaurants will likely open in a certain format very soon, as will loads of other businesses, and long before football is looked down on for daring to think about returning, that's my point, it's all about survival/protecting of whatever business you are in, and that sadly just comes with risks attached atm.
All that gives a bit more balance to your original gambit of "I couldn't give a toss about football atm".

How dare someone who enjoys football post on a football forum.
Burn him!
You must of missed @Ronaldo's Mum Eh? 's posts then.
@Berbasbullet not sure how the quoting facility went so odd there, but from yours it looks like I've said what the other guy said!
He's still posting elsewhere. Just got banned on this thread.
he was clearly a troll who has long since disappeared .

I think he was eventually thread banned, and rightly so.Far in the future when this pandemic is under control, long after this season has been called null and void, most same people will look back on this period as a bleak realisation of humanity's precariousness, and with relief that the worst of the virus is behind us. Liverpool fans will only remember that their club was best over 29 games, and lament how they were screwed out of a fecking football trophy.
What about when furlough ends and opening your restaurant in some capacity is the difference between some of your staff being able to feed their kids or not?
The world has to start spinning again at some point or the NHS will run out of money which means they will have no money to even attempt to get the adequate resources to fight this virus, and any that pop up in the future.
true.
You're right. People who only pop in to moan are the worst.
League has to be cancelled. No way in hell can it be restarted.
That's a shame.... that it's just the one thread.
I think he/she said they absolutely guaranteed that there'd be football back before the end of April and someone (quite a longstanding poster) bet it wouldn't and said they'd leave the Caf if wrong. Asked him/her to agree to same.... never got a reply.
He said work from home if you can, but if you can't, then go to work but don't use public transport. So it sounds like players will be back in training soon?
The reaction I've seen so far from the public is one of anger and confusion.
We will find out more over the next few days. Right now it's anyone's guess.
I laugh at Pool fans blaming Brighton players for catching COVID-19, making it as if it's a conspiracy against them. Well done, that's a very classless thing to do which clash with their philospoopy. The real conspiracy here is actually the FA going out of their way to crown Liverpool champions. Why?
Liverpool have a global following of 100 millions (twitter followers might be included) and people love the old comeback, rising from the grave type of thing. It's how They get views in WWE and even Indian soap opera. The resurrection of Liverpool gave most of those 100 millions erections and They are now sleeping in Klopp pajamas, eager and waiting for the 'cycle' to be finished by Liverpool winning the Premier League. These armchair fans are a massive source of income for the TV money because let's be honest, as much as Pool fans like to ridicule other clubs for having 'plastic' followings, Liverpool is actually very popular outside of the UK. I'd say They're even more popular than Chelsea and City. Crowning them Champions = loadsa money and helping the PL to stay on top of other leagues. That's why when there news about Bundesliga's return They shat themselves.
