He said it was desirable to build up immunity for the future which is correct

It was just on tv again, he actually said it wasn't possible to stop all infections nor was it desirable because we want to build up immunity. Slightly different I think.

Bundesliga are talking about cancelling the league and voiding it - no winner, no trophy, no relegation.

Imagine that, it's unthinkable

Sorry that’s what I meant couldn’t remember exactly what he said

Accrington are on about offering refunds for now until the end of the season.

Assume they'd be heavily punished if they failed to fulfill fixtures? Or are they saying they'd play behind closed doors?

Mikel Arteta just tested positive. Will be stunned if the Arsenal game is played at the weekend.

Yes, the way I took that comment was that is one of the reasons why we are not reacting like other countries and shutting everything down. Time will tell if that is the right decision.

No massive surprise I guess given the contact he'd have had with Marinakis.

Broken Hearted Sky Blue · Mar 12, 2020

So a lot of European countries are closing nurseries and schools that’s ok the children can be looked after by their grandparents while the parents go to work brilliant

AFCCOVENTRY · Mar 12, 2020

Not good news about Arteta. They are talking about the Premiership will have to postpone now. Knock on effect to the football league?

better days · Mar 12, 2020

I actually thought the PM and medical experts handled the press conference well today
Watched it live and I thought they were open and frank and explained the reasoning behind not shutting everything down immediately

jordan210 · Mar 12, 2020

End the season now. Come up with a clever algorithm to work out who goes up and down and we can all be happy.

it was frank and honest.

I can see it all being cancelled soon.

Just our luck.

Halt all football for a month, postpone the Euros til next year

Marty · Mar 12, 2020

Mikel Arteta has tested positive for Coronavirus.

It’s not really the same but I do agree once it
stops it should stop. Playing behind closed doors is stupid.

Ffs it’d be typical if it was voided

It'd need to be for more than a month. I think it'll just be cancelled.

Broken Hearted Sky Blue · Mar 12, 2020

Yes extend season for a month start next season in September not bothered about Euros

We’ve played 34 out of 44 games it won’t be voided

It’s going to take longer than that

I fecking hope not

Broken Hearted Sky Blue · Mar 12, 2020

All we need is a mid virus break

oakey · Mar 12, 2020

Hit the PAUSE button on the season and restart it once the worst is passed.
Only take 5 weeks in May, June, July or August. Then give players 2-3 weeks off and start the next season. Why are we so obsessed with calendars.
Simple and no arguments or legal challenges.

Same for schools, universities.
Just reset when its over whichever month that is.
The only thing stopping it is people being obsessed with a timetable which can be altered

mark82 · Mar 12, 2020

If the season was cancelled and teams promoted on points per game it'd be us, Rotherham and Wycombe (currently in 8th place) promoted.

AFCCOVENTRY · Mar 12, 2020

If season is paused to finish later then with most team with 9 games left or possibly 8 if this weekend still happens, you play 2 games a week for a month.

SeaSeeEffCee · Mar 12, 2020

Think there is a very real possibility that the league will be initially postponed and ultimately cancelled depending on how long this virus lasts for. How things go from there it's impossible to say. Clubs like Man United, Spurs, Aston Villa and Bournemouth are not going to be happy if they're forced to finish where they are now.

oakey · Mar 12, 2020

Honestly, if they void this season I'm done with football. We have paid good money and not to watch 'friendlies' which is what they would become.

this is it...the season is basically done. If only 40% of the season was complete then you can see it being voided.

In 1963 because of the winter weather some teams were playing 2 or 3 games a week at the end

Play 3 games a week if you have to... it’s a unique scenario and unforeseen event. They will have to find a solution to this. Voiding the season just wont happen.

Alkhen · Mar 12, 2020

We would be utterly screwed if this season was voided or delayed significantly.

Was trying to explain to Liverpool supporting workmate. Yes it would be hard for them to swallow but they would bounce back, they are the top of the pyramid. Their players would stick around or be replaced.

For us we would lose half our squad. The likes of Dabo, Hyam, Rose etc would get hoovered up by Chapionship teams.

Even a long delay could fuck us over as regards to loans. O'Hare and Walsh are only ours till mid May.

I really hope they can limp through this season. The team has defied the odds, somehow it feels like Robins has captured lightning in a bottle. I really fear that we could get scuppered big time by this.
