Cancelling this season's Premier League

[Paris]

Its alright, I've got you pegged as a selfish, irresponsible, self entitled lockdown breaker.

Full week shop with a hand basket, for one person, yeah sure, what's that then, a loaf of bread, some milk, a few tins, yeah that would last a week wouldn't it.

I popped to Iceland to see whether it was possible earlier and indeed it is. I even managed to get it all in one bag.

You just bought a load of frozen Greggs sausage rolls didn't you ?

I won't lie, I do miss having the opportunity of going to Greggs, KFC and McDonald's when I've had a busy day at work and can't be bothered to cook...

Premier League games behind closed doors? Here's how many people would have to be present

There is more to a top-level game than two teams, managers and a referee. When leagues resume, hundreds must be present for matches to take place.

Happy to report no Everton signings here: https://www.fourfourtwo.com/gallery/ranked-50-worst-players-premier-league-history-ever

We do have 4 in this list though: https://www.fourfourtwo.com/gallery/fourfourtwos-50-best-bargains-premier-league-history

I like how they picked 48 players all under £10m as bargains but showed the true RS love affair with £34m Mo Salah and £23m Suarez.

Van Der Meyde is in there mate.

Don't worry mate he's easily forgettable.

Exactly, I had high Hope's when we signed him - a player I had actually heard of joining us?

TBH I don't blame him, his daughter getting ill and drowning his sorrows, he's not the first and certainly won't be the last.

Interesting the Brighton owner has said he doesn't think it's fair to end the season and decide relegation placings now. I would have had them as a definite non-14 for the void vote.

Voiding the season without relegations should be an obvious option.

think he’s making the point that it’s not fair to relegate teams based on ending the season early. He’s not against ending the season in a null and Void way.

 

[ste d' indica]

Each team picks a keeper and 4 other players for a penalty shootout (keeper takes one). Play all remaining fixtures in one afternoon of shootouts. Managers can give instructions to selected captain via the phone from home.

Would require a total of 300 coronavirus tests to finish the league.

Obviously that's a ridiculous idea but far less ridiculous than 200 tests per remaining fixture totalling around 20,000.

That's a crazy idea mate, should all play a few rounds of '3 and yer in.'

The Brighton intervention is massively significant. Essentially saying if the season is cancelled you can;t have relegation. The only way this could really be achieved is by saying legally the status of an incomplete season is invalid and thus void. While he hasn't been explicitly said, the undertone is that if this is not followed, he will be seeking legal avenues.

This will be the position for the 6 sides at the bottom (at least) and potentially Southampton/Newcastle too. They will not get 14 teams to not want to void the season.

 

[f.t.r.s]

It's actually disgusting that they still seem to want to continue this season,
Just cancel it , void it and put every effort into assisting end this pandemic
