There will be rules within the league membership covering force majeure and given this is a global crisis I cannot see any legal challenge would stand up to much
- suspend season until further notice
- move Euros to next summer
- use time where Euros would be to clear backlog
- set a date where if the situation is prolonged and the season cannot be completed in the extension then null and void season no promotions or relegations
I think on Tuesday UEFA will decide to move the Euros to next summer and all the leagues and European competition will also postpone fixtures for 30 days. This would be to allow the seasons to overrun into the summer to complete if needed and if things do not return to normal by X date (which...
UEFA called meeting for Tuesday to discuss the situation....
In the light of the ongoing developments in the spread of COVID-19 across Europe and the changing analysis of the World Health Organisation, UEFA has today invited representatives of its 55 member associations, together with the...
Club website saying game is still on
Arsenal’s match at Manchester City, due to take place at the Etihad Stadium tonight, has been postponed after a number of Gunners players have self isolated as a precaution with regard to the coronavirus.
The risk is considered extremely low and...
Is going to a football match any worse than travelling on the tube, visiting an airport shopping centres, bar or restaurant?
What is the logic behind stopping a football match but then allowing people to continue to do all of those things?
Only the premier league mentioned but is this being extended to the EFL? There are clubs in the championship with higher weekly crowds than some premier league games
They are only restricting purchases to stop the loons who are buying up bundles of pasta and loo roll. If people maintained their usual shopping habits there would be no issue at all.
Reminds me of the petrol blockages from years ago where panic buying caused pumps to run dry when in reality...
I have been to games in Europe and Germany aside the atmosphere was no better and in many cases worse than England. So rather than some schoolboy Noddy fan club making rubbish banners we should reduce ticket prices and have beer in seats which will soon sort things out.
41 posts and nobody has mentioned going to work!!! I would shave my face, chest and nutsack every day of the week if it meant I could have the rest of the day not working
I think it is a much tougher league than expected and the realisation that even if the club goes to the next level that still leaves you way short of ever winning anything leaves you a bit cold as a fan.
That said i think this season 4th-18th has not really been much of a chasm in terms of...
The media and general hysteria around this is the thing that will cause much more damage than the virus.
All common sense has gone out of the window and we are on the verge of descending into chaos
We have not played Groß regularly as a 10 he is played the wide part of a front 3 or played on the right of a central 3 but not as a central attacking player behind the striker. That is where he is most effective and gets the assists and goals you describe.
I am actually a big fan of Groß...
My reasons for wanting MacAllister fast tracked to the first team are purely he is the only person in our squad who naturally plays as a 10 and at a decent level. Against Palace we played Trossard in that position and in the past we have dabbled with March there and Groß none of which have...
I think you rode your luck at times but were not outclassed and sat in and took your chance then killed the game which is something we have failed to do a lot this season. As a playing style and squad I think it’s one of the worst you have had for a long time yet seems to be one that grinds out...
Poster has been credible in the past and would explain why the clubs Twitter is raving about MacAllister but he is not making the squad. Let’s wait and see but it is not beyond the realms of possibility is it
