Yeah but they were following govt advice. Now finally going to go against that blonde idiot 1

IF (and its a big if) the league starts again first weekend of April we will play Man Utd 7th June. Cant beat shorts and t-shirt weather for football! Imagine the state of Leicester if if finishes the weekend of 20th June with Kasabian due to play Viccy park as well Edited 13 March 2020 by goose2010

No team relegated, top two in the championship promoted. 22 team premier league next season with 5 teams relegated. This would be my preference. I would do all of this but realistically Liverpool should get the title. If it was close then fine but it isn’t and they’d win it within a week anyway
Flappit Posted 13 March 2020 Posted 13 March 2020 1 minute ago, bmt said: Let’s wait a few weeks The science experts (real ones, not forum ones) have already said that short-term it will get worse than other countries. It's the long-term game they're after, where herd immunity kicks in and this just becomes a less significant thing in our lives (like SARS, MERS, H1N1, etc.) going forward. There are many who suspect this will all kick off in China again. No-one really knows, we just have to wait and see.

When (or if) we play them he will probably be fit. Wouldnt you argue that's not fair on Watford? Think about Spurs they could potentially end the season with Kane & Son fully fit. Watford could have a few players with injuries as well.

Quote Even as the number of new coronavirus infections continues to spiral upward in countries around the world, a top global health expert says it's not too late to contain the virus. "As long as you have these discrete outbreaks ... there is the opportunity to control them — to get on top of these and contain them and prevent a lot of disease and ultimately death," says Dr. Bruce Aylward, a senior adviser to the director-general of the World Health Organization. "That's the big message we saw in China — and one of the big surprises." Aylward led a fact-finding trip in China in February on behalf of the World Health Organization. He says the experience there altered his view of what can be done. "They actually changed the course of a respiratory-borne outbreak without a vaccine, which was extraordinary," says Aylward. The number of daily new cases in China went from around 2,000 just a few weeks ago to less than 100 in recent days.
Dahnsouff Posted 13 March 2020 Posted 13 March 2020 I see the points mentioned @Deeg67 but that was never going to hold true outside of what is a tantamount to a totalitarian regime. Italy being a mismanaged proof of that. But, you are correct, the WHO did originally state it could be contained, so I accept that, but their conditions for containment were unlikely, sadly.

This suggestion takes the the most likely of all the various outcomes should the season actually continue (i.e. a Liverpool Premiership title win - most likely by a huge margin) and makes it the only postitive one that isn't 'honoured'. If Liverpool haven't won the title when they're 25 points clear of second, we haven't 'won' a European place . Neither have two championship teams 'won' promotion. I'm fine with it being handed to Liverpool. Whichever scenario they plump for somebody is going to be upset

South Korea proved that it could be contained without totalitarian measures. They tested the fuch out of everyone, fast and free and easy to access, and the population broadly cooperated with social distancing and self-isolation. Maybe not realistic every country could handle it that well, but they proved it was possible.

Could be correct here, maybe lessons from SARS/MERS has helped, and although I place no blame on the Government, we could perhaps in hindsight have created a more thorough and efficient test regime far ealier.
