Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.

They should scrap this season and go again in august.
Over what kind of a timeline?
The first case in China was detected on 31st Dec and in two months approx 80,000 people have been infected.
It seems implausible to me that 44m in the UK would get infected.
Worst case scenario they would play behind closed doors which I think they've done in Italy.
Though Liverpool winning the league with none of their fans in attendance would still be absolutely hilarious.

There's a precedent.
Young children are least at risk apparently.Cancelling the season has apparently been discussed between government and Premier League officials. So it's not a total impossibly.At this stage though, it seems unlikely and they may just play in empty stadiums.
It's hard to wish for things to get so bad that Liverpool can't win the title though. This thing will kill a lot of people if it gets that serious, especially older loved ones and young children are also a high risk. As much as I hate Liverpool, I don't hate them more than I love the people in my life.
They should just make this season null and void, I'm sure every supporter of every club around the country would say the same.
No open top bus parade when they win/get given the league you would think, too dangerous.
The celebration party must be stopped. Also no attendence for the end of the season.
This should be the only consideration/solution.
It would also be too dangerous to give them the trophy.
The situation in Italy is much worse. The story is that the games were going to be played behind closed doors, but Juventus didn't want to refund the money from the game against Inter (big earner), so as a result they were postponed instead.
I can't see them suspending the Premier League - worst case, games will be played behind closed doors - but the Euros are in danger of being cancelled with the number of countries involved in hosting.
And no victory parade.
Actually, if you don’t have asthma or reduced immune system for some reason, the chance of dying is less than 0,1%. Just saw a Danish doctor sating that a flu in Europe can cause as much as 25.000-60.000 deaths in a season. Thus many would argue that it is less dangerous than a regular flu. To me, the Corona virus looks to be taken a little out of proportions.
where have you got that 0.1 number from?
Really tough call for the PL this.
However, not only Liverpool will be negatively affected if they cancel, but also us as well
if you look at the table, we are right behind Chelsea and they have been playing horrid football lately. I believe we can take that CL spot. Cancel season and we lose CL for another year

...If the PL is cancelled, then the CL will defo be cancelled anyway.
No. But this season shouldnt have a winner. Its just a practice mode for the next one and whichever club is in doubt of corona virus can opt not to play and do a self quarantine.
It’s on track to kill much much more than 25000-60000.

If the worse does happen & lots of people die because of this virus, then it'll make some folk on here realize just how irrelevant football really is. At this moment in time it's generally the weak & vulnerable who are at risk, but if the virus mutates then we could be looking at the deaths of millions of young, healthy, adults. It happened just over 100 years ago with the Spanish flu. Like the old saying goes : Be careful what you wish for.
Postpone the season and have a playoff amongst the top 8 to decide the European spots in a few months time.
We're better in the big games and we'll have Rashford and Pogba back by then.

Seems fair to me, what with the VAR experiment clearly not working too.
Perhaps coronavirus is a message??
VAR is a con!
Seems fair to me.
They definitely should - cancel the current season immediately and then start again fresh in August if the virus is under control; it’s the right thing to do, we’ve got to protect the public here.
Liverpool's only PL title coming with an asterisk would almost make it bearable 
Already is one anyway with VARLiverpool's only PL title coming with an asterisk would almost make it bearable
If they finished the season behind closed doors, I’d just put my tin foil hat on and say there’s no evidence Liverpool got the points to win it anyway.
Just imagine the face of Klopp if that happens
EDIT:
Jurgen Klopp being told the season is declared null and void will make the perfect Hitler rant video.

And they should also be kept behind closed doors where we don't have to see them.
Not true. If the league doesn't continue to use VAR, then maybe but as it stands VAR hasn't done anything to stain a title.
But still. Their last title was when the back pass rule was still in place and they then had to wait 30 years for video technology to help them win it again.
The pure anger would end him.Just imagine the face of Klopp if that happens

I don't think that argument holds water, mate. Has VAR really done that much for them?

It's the hope that kills (more than covid). Just when you were coming to Zen like terms with the inevitable you get given a grain of hope. I for one will be urging you on to hold on to that.
The end is nigh.
All the signs are there.
Swarms of locusts in Africa.
Floods in Europe.
A plague spreading through the world.
Scousers about to win the Premiership.
The AcKloppolypse is coming.

Has much as I would love there to be a reason to deny Liverpool the PL, I doubt it will happen.
The flu takes more every single year, but if it did happen, I would laugh about it for the rest of my life.

They don’t weld shut doors to people’s homes, quarantine entire cities and stop trains crossing borders because of the flu. Something doesn’t add up
Nah we should hand the trophy over
After it’s been sneezed on by a carrier

In the summer, VAR was meant to show how flukey last season was and see us tumble down the table.
