The curve won't flatten until May/June, don't expect any football in this country until at least 2021.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on what?
-------------------------------------------------------
Based on information in the more serious newspapers and what my sister, an NHS manager has told me.

Of course the Sun/Mirror/TalkSport may have a different projection but who am I to argue.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What would an NHS manager know that others don't? I was an NHS manager, didn't have a clue about medicine or a Coronavirus.

If we believe it started in China in December and they have now began to lift the lockdown, it has taken nearly 5 months to get to that point, this was after a couple of months where they did nothing and punished people for suggesting there was a problem.

I don't think we're going to see fans in the stadium by May, even June but they could be playing football matches by then regardless, considering there's only 9 games left to play, may as well get it over with, if it's safe for the players, in order to give time for the new season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the talk of the curve not flattening til end of May into June is accurate but i don't see why that means a further six months until games can start. Though one concern is that this thing comes back with a vengeance next Oct/Nov.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

And yeah, these games will finish behind closed doors at the earliest opportunity.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They may well do, but that won`t change the fact that this season is now compromised and can not be considered legitimate.

I can see UEFA wanting their competitions completed because of advertising revenue as playing behind closed doors won't make much of a difference to them.

A season completed not in accordance with the accepted rules, regulations and standards set out before it begins, can only be considered illegitimate and would carry zero credence or acceptance.

Never seen anyone so desperate in all my life
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He’s an utter embarrassment I suppose we should be grateful he’s stopped whining about bent refs. Now he’s just a desperate mid table supporter who wants his teams season scratched from the records because it’s been such a car crash

I can see why the north London clubs want their seasons erased tbf, their fackin poverty

Fancy not wanting to see your team play though
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You're doing it again, so blinkered.

I have no doubt that Liverpool would have won the league this season but I don't think under the circumstances the world has found itself in the season will be completed.

I believe the decision to cancel the remainer of the games below the National league is the beginning of the end for this season in total.

As I keep saying its a perfectly reasonable thing to think.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok do you fancy a name change bet on the outcome

I’ve asked gunner rex, Sandy, and always take the weather fella and they failed to respond.
All north London clubs fans banging the same drum because theirs teams have had awful seasons.

PL season is voided/cancelled or played out and completed

It’s just a harmless friendly bet on the outcome, let’s see what u got

You can’t bring up the possibility of the season being cancelled, whether you want it to or not, without Liverpool fans having a meltdown at the very thought of it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not really a meltdown, just pointing out that the authorities have already started they want the season to finish. There are plenty on here who think they know better, or rather are desperate for the season to be scratched. It’s funny how you focus on the Liverpool fans being apparently one sided in this, and not the large numbers of opposition fans

It’s been suggested that the virus could flatten out by the end of May. Give it two months for it to be safe, then start playing games at the start of August behind closed doors. It’ll be finished first week in September.

Not far fetched or unreasonable, is it?

Most of the comments on here have been very sensible, it’s a handful of Liverpool fans that are adamant anyone questioning it are ‘against Liverpool’.

We aren’t, the country (world) is going through something so much bigger at the moment.

City have signed over use of the etihad to the nhs. Not sure what that means for being able to use the ground for football.

TBF, since it was obvious that we were going to win the league, huge numbers have been wishing all sorts of things to stop us winning it. Mostly tongue in cheek, but many not. M assume it’s one of those ‘careful what you wish for’ moments.

As for City, just another tactic to get the season written off, so they can stay in the CL

You could resume the season and complete the fixtures, but this season has been compromised now, in no way can the season be completed fairly and without some kind of prejudice and detriment to the integrity of the leagues.

There would be too many variables at work now, too many "what ifs" and too many "if only`s" for the season to be considered fair and legitimate.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Come on then I’ll bite as I’m bored, tell me how it wouldn’t be fair and legitimate
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I`ll give you one reason, clubs are now at different levels of fitness and some (like Spurs for example) now have key players returning to fitness whereas before they were injured for most of the remainder of the season. That is an unfair advantage in itself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What about when matches are postponed due to other reasons such as weather or cup competitions, and then by the time they are replayed one of the teams has their star player back. Is that also an unfair advantage?

posted on 29/3/20

I would be gutted if the season ended now. We are in the QFs of two competitions, 3 points behind CL place with the most favourable run in of the teams around us and were in very good form. Anything other than the season to continue for us is an awful outcome

I suggested August as a potential start date, behind closed doors. Still plenty of time for West Ham to get relegated 👍

From social distancing?

posted on 29/3/20

Professor Neil Ferguson, who advises the government, said the lockdown is likely to last until June and then social distancing until October.

No schools no sport this year

I’d say worse case will be October, would be very surprised if it wasn’t before then. Things tend to change very quickly once that light at the end of the tunnel is seen.

Even if it is October, what are you going on about with nothing for the rest of the year? October isn’t the last month of the year, never has been.
