Think it is now buggered for six weeks at least. No way it will finish unless they play into June

d) Arteta showed symptons, so got tested, found positive.

You only get tested if:
You show symptons AND have been in contact with someone that has tested positive.
OR
You show symptoms AND have recently arrived from an affected area.

Yes but I am sure they said that they have all been tested and cancelling is just precautionary.

The statement says they weren't tested ahead of man city game and that they expect a number of them to self isolate so it doesn't sound like they have

The game has been officially postponed now. I was wondering if we'd get a 3-nil forfeit if Arsenal couldn't field a team.

I haven't read the thread - does anyone have any info on what happens if the season cannot be completed?

No.

Obviously a tiny issue compared to health and life, but it’s going to be a bit boring without sport (TV and going to games). I presume that the Joshua and Fury fights will fall by the wayside too, F1 with its global travel will also be cancelled.

Fatigue will soon kick in viewing 100’s of NSC Corona Virus threads.

Thank God for boxsets and movies.

Turning into disarray now. PL will have to cancel all games

You're assuming that TV etc. will be able to keep going !

Breaking: Premier League will convene an emergency club meeting tomorrow morning regarding future fixtures after Mikel Arteta's positive coronavirus test.

I presume that this will be via video link.

I think as it looks like we are weeks away from the peak of the outbreak postponing the league simply wont work.

Finish all leagues now on current league positions with all teams occupying promotion places going up with the premier league increasing to 22 teams next year. Not sure how they'd settle play offs though!

Perhaps premier league prize money could be voluntarily filtered down to the lower leagues?

Top 6-8 championship teams today go into pre-season mini playoff tournament to determine 2 promotion places ?

I guess that could work but would be very complicated.

Be very interesting to hear the outcome fo tomorrow's meeting, I guess a suspension of the league is inevitable now.

Your solution is completely unfair.

I haven't checked the fixtures, but what if the team in 18th (Bournemuth) has played all the top 4 both home and away but the team in 17th (Watford) has still to pay them all once.

Bournemouth would sue.

Much fairer to cancel the season. And compensate the teams in the promotion positions.

Yes, could promote them and temporarily expand the league. Maybe skip the Cababaw Cup for a year.

I wasn't saying that. I was suggesting that promotions would stand but there would be no relegations from any divisions, the premier league would expand as a result to 22 teams.

The sensible part of that post was the last line. ALL Premier League clubs must donate towards a fund for the lower leagues, to help stave off the otherwise inevitable club bankruptcies that will ensue if they don’t.

Hand liverpool the title no relegation and expand the premier league by promoting the 2 teams from championship or even 4 then sort out the reducing again next season
