Ah come on. He's right and we know it.

Just waiting for someone to suggest rehiring Poch now that the season is going to get wiped out.

Actually.........

How about every club pick their best FIFA players and we complete the season that way? It's the future.

All elite football in England has been suspended until at least 3 April as a result of the spread of coronavirus.

All Premier League games, EFL fixtures and matches in the FA Women's Super League and Women's Championship have been postponed.

The Premier League said action would resume on 4 April "subject to medical advice and conditions at the time".

Given the quality of our football recently, does that mean our games are still on?

How fudging lucky would we be if the season is cancelled. What else could they do but send us through to next year's CL based on the results from last season?

It's Spurs. Think of the worst possible outcome for Spurs and that is what will happen. .

Well, Scudamore made the point that is was essential to finish the league completely on time during Lasagnagate, and the 39th game was rejected because of the sanctity of two games against everyone home and away (despite the offer of dollops of cash). What other choice is there that doesn't undermine the league principles?

An eighth Premier League club confirm self-isolation measures: West Ham United say personnel who came into contact with Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, who tested positive for coronavirus, are quarantining as a precaution. They say they have “already taken a number of precautionary measures”, including deep cleans at the club’s training grounds as well as the London Stadium. Arsenal, Bournemouth, Chelsea, Everton, Leicester, Emirates Marketing Project, Watford and now West Ham United have at least one employee in self-isolations.

Shows how hopeless we are. Our players can't even catch a virus.

Sensible decision really.

Another point worth considering is what UEFA decide to do with the CL / EL.

If the CL doesn’t get completed then might make it appear less extreme for national leagues to also be voided.

Yes, I doubt Levy has forgotten this.

Ah come on. He's right and we know it.

Yes of course, but not officially.

Ah Pam.

 

[DeanoAustin]

Yes of course, but not officially.

It's displays a bit of selfishness and ruthlessness but these are the traits I love in Levy. GHod help the PL if they try and screw us this time as he has all sorts of precedent on his side.

Is there any chance we wake from this mess to find Poch sitting in his manager's chair, shining the Champions League trophy, cutting up lemons and presenting a bang in form Eriksen with a new contract that he's only too happy to sign?
