I think most of the world would legit be devastated when he goes, whereas most people outside of the Uk couldn’t give a toss about the Royals.
Is football cancelled for the next week? | Man United-Leeds & Chelsea-Liverpool postponed
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
Why, exactly?
Not really madness, at all. London will be rammed on the day of the funeral - the police presence will be huge. No games in London will be able to be played.
This weekend, that would be:
Crystal Palace v Manutd
Arsenal v Everton
Chelsea v Fulham
West Ham v Newcastle
Might as well cancel.

Or a lot of people in the UK…
The world dude, not just the UK
feck sake. It's like the UK is dragging itself back to Victorian England.
Will people give a toss about a guy who talks over animals?
Because he's educated and brought joy to millions around the world for about decades and decades.
I'm not mad if people wanna talk shit about the royalty but Attenborough? Nah, that's not on.
There’s nothing left to live for.
Until next week
Until next week
Laughable if it happens. The woman was 96. If anything it should be celebration for a long and healthy life, no need to mourn
He’s devoted his life to documenting, spreading the word about, and pleading for the protection of the natural world. He is a marvel.
It is much more probable football is off Saturday next week imho… both the Service and enough time to manage all postponements’ practicalities?
Please no.
Funeral will either be on the Sunday or Monday
Yeah, football formally mourning together with the Nation one or two days before the Funeral seems apt to me?
No football on Monday … win win situation
I hope Lizza wrote in her will that football should continue should she die near a weekend
No. Nobody is happy an old lady passed away but everyone is devastated that we may have 3 weekends without Premier League football.
After that performance tonight I don't think our momentum is there anymore either way.
This sounds a little more positive that it might just be a one day pause on Friday

Should be cancelled just for the day of the funeral.
It's a tight schedule already so move some games that land on the day.

Hopefully no football until after the funeral for me.
Burnley and Norwich aswell as tranmere and Stockport are the first games called of this weekend tomorrow night. Maybe it’s just the Friday games?
Not to derail the thread but I doubt that even 1% outside the UK knows who he is.
As for the queen, I think they'll only postpone the Friday matches and have no matches on the day of her funeral.
Gives there's around 4-5 games in London this weekend, surely they'll be cancelled?
Funeral wont be for another 10 days.
Cancel sport tomorrow and the day of the funeral, that's all it should be.
Don't understand why this is necessary..
Do people even live in the real world? Even if you think football should go ahead you've got to be away with the fairies to think there's any chance it will.
When will the powers that be make the call for this weekend?
You’ll be going about your day all calm and collected and then read this post and like me earlier come to the devastating realisation there probably won’t be a Premier League game played again this month. Throw in the next two weekends which will get cancelled without doubt. You then have the mother fecking bastard international break. At least United are shit again so it won’t be as annoying .
Tomorrow morning. This weekends games will absolutely be called off, I'd be astonished if they're not.
What a truly bizarre question!!
Asking this question about a dead, old woman who lived so far outside the real world is mental!!!
Football fans live very much in the real world and want the real world to rumble on like they would have to when their elderly relatives pass away. It’s not strange to want that.
Wanting that and thinking there’s a chance that will happen are two very different things.
I think what he meant was that in the real world it’s a massive deal in England and so the chances of football going on as normal are minimal
She was head of state and a pretty fecking obvious period of 'official national mourning' will commence.
We might not like it but none of us are 12 we shouldn't need this explaining or be under at illusion exactly what's going to happen. It's truly bizarre we have to go through this charade. It's no different been people asking whether they'd postpone tonight's episode of EastEnders. The answer to both questions is: of they fecking will.
People can mourn at a football match!!! Or if they want to mourn at home, they can do that too.
Life needs to go on. It’s fecking mental to consider what decisions are going to be made in the next 24 hours.
Unfortunately, decisions will be made for the people in the real world by people who don’t live in the real world and haven’t done for years.
As someone pointed out earlier, it didn’t happen when the last king died. No need for it to happen now
No football, but if you have work over the weekend you need to be there.
Didn't realise he talked over them. Very rude of him to interrupt them if true.
