The end is near, the sea of sycophancy will will soon wash over our heads.......get the scuba gear ready

If you believe this, you'll believe anything.

Sadio Mane 'never knew' Premier League winners got medals

Really?

I seriously do not wish anyone harm by the spread of the Coronavirus but the idea that this might happen will be driving the dipper batshit crazy

Premier League refuse to deny Liverpool could miss out on title because of Coronavirus

I agree, Skoorb, I pray the spread of the virus is contained asap but, should the FA make that decision.....imagine the scenes!!

Lives lost to the Corona virus: around 3000
Lives lost to the Spanish flu: 40 to 50 million( possibly up to 100 million)
If everyone would practice good hygiene, we will be fine.

My guess is it’s more likely they will be instructed to play games behind closed doors if it gets very bad.
Nothing must stand in the way of a dipper title.

That is already being suggested here in respect to the big basketball tournament in March. It seems a bit over the top.

I agree (worrisome!).
That’s the problem with instant news worldwide. I’m not saying it’s not concerning but the panic is a complete overreaction. No doubt a vaccine is just round the corner. Scientists round the world are working flat out for it.

Have a look at this. See the chart on recent viruses and where COVID-19 is on the scale.

It demonstrates how panicky the reaction is.

Does this mean I have to postpone my panic buying? I am planning todo it on Friday.

Getting back on track.......

Good old Noel. them where it hurts. He is spot on of course - dreadful losers and even worse winners.

I do love the idea that some of them are starting to panic

Yes. We all know they will lift the trophy, but it is nice to see a little bit of squirming.

Considering what Ancelloti got red carded for last week you would hope the PL will take a dim view of Klopp's vitriolic response in the face of the assistant referee yesterday.....

SPORTbible: Jurgen Klopp Risks FA Charge After Explosive Celebration In Assistant Referee's Face.
https://www.sportbible.com/football...-celebration-in-match-officials-face-20200307

But I won't hold my breath.

The way in which this is being reported is interesting- all the focus is on Klopp’s ‘regret’ at his actions. I think the media have chosen to play to this down whereas they could just have easily have held a crusade to get him banned. But that would be inconvenient and not fit the narrative would it?

An element of straw clutching going on here given the convuluted logic being employed...

By the way......what 'Man City'claims? No story to publish so we'll just make one up more like.

The reverse of the logic they applied last season.

 

[johnkelv]

Karren is correct, if you give Liverpool the title with no more games played, then you lock in the relegated teams which is manifestly unfair, so the season should be declared null and void, otherwise club lawyers will have a picnic in the courts.

It would be hard on the promotion chasing clubs but good news for those in the relegation places but it does seem to be the fairest option, all things considered.

 

[Skoorb]

I am pretty sure the teams vying for European places would have something to say in the courts too.

It could get messy.
