The PL's announced that games will go ahead as normal this weekend.

The Gods have created a plague to stop Liverpool from winning the league!

It's the only thing that can stop us @sigma

Arsenal have just released a statement to say Arteta's tested positive for corona now :/

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Leicester have potentially got 3 players infected, Mendy's quarantining himself because of a family member and Arteta does have it.

Need to postpone the Prem immediately.

Would be madness to go on, even behind closed doors.

 

[Purdy]

Gotta stop the matches, its too much.

I think they should not only cancel the league but also erase all memory of it

 

[BaZ87]

Justy saying but if they League does get cancelled then we're all going to bomb wuhan and anybody that doesn't come with me is getting permabanned.

As far as the Premier League is concerned money > *


Let's see what they do now.

 

[BaZ87]

It'll be interesting to know whether the PL knew about the Arteta situation before they released their statement.

I'm sure/hopeful that all will be well but it does feel rather surreal, all this.

I’d love to, but I’m in self isolation

In all fairness, comical though it would be, it would be incredibly harsh on Liverpool.

I genuinely don't see what they'll do if sport is suspended for months on end. Not only that, but business in general will end up in a mess, the economy will be in a right state.

Have to presume no, since Arsenal are playing Saturday.

They're all old men so it's past their bedtime now, doubt we'll hear anything until tomorrow from the PL.

 

[robfosters]

Well that’s not playing for at least a fortnight now. We’ve already got a game in hand, it’s gonna start getting ridiculous.

 

[Azza]

Oh here we go. That's surprising.
