Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Most probably after 5 or 6 weeks all will be ok but problem is what will happen as we still have 9 or 10 matches in every league and next schedule is also very tight so how will they manage this all in hot summer days players will not happy with this all.

The players surely have a busy time after things going back to normal but mind it that this people are professional and this is their job so most of them will not have much problem with it.

I am not some huge Liverpool fan, but I don't see any dillema here, as no one in their right mind would call it "tainted title" in case EPL ends and title goes to Liverpool. And who cares what some ignorant fans think anyway. I know I wouldn't. Everyone knows that Liverpool would win it anyway.

To be honest, i didn't see many people asking for season to be declared void. That delusional West Ham vice-chairman  Karren Brady doesn't count, as she wants that only because West ham could be relegated if season continues.

I am on the same page as you. There are no way that the season will be void. We already had 29 successful round out of 38 and only 9 rounds left. So yes, there will be no voiding.

It's not just for the premier league either. There are problems for all leagues. There is a Euro 2020 tournament to be played in the summer. And Europe is having troubled days.
Deciding for the UK may not be very difficult. Liverpool already had a very good season and I think they deserve the title this year. The condition of the games will be a bit troubled until the end of the season this year. Footballers may not be able to concentrate on the matches with health concerns.

No football means time to talk and discuss some controversies..anyone up for this? I'll start:
Liverpool fans, what would you choose?

- "Winning" the title this way and have your rivals tell you, until the end of times, that it is a tainted title? (you know The Toffees and the Citizens are preparing the chants).

- Not "winning" it at all and accept the FA's decision of voiding this season (it could happen, you never know)? This one means all the records will go down the drain, but at least your rivals won't make fun of you for the next 100 years.

If we have to choose between getting crowned as PL title winners and what Manchester city and Everton fans would think, It'll be the first. I mean, who cares what some fans thinks? We don't. Everyone knows for a fact that Liverpool needs just 2 more wins to clinch the title (assuming Manchester city doesn't lose any points in their next couple of games). If the entire season gets voided, It'll be unfair and unjust.

So on behalf of other Liverpool fans, I want to say that we'll gladly accept the Premier league if it gets to the point of choosing between the title and a voided season 😉.

You are right. Deciding to give Liverpool the trophy is things turned out worse wouldn't be a very hard decision because of the point gap. The challenge is in other leagues like La Liga where the point gap between the first and second is just 2 points.

There is no denying the fact that Liverpool already have won the league, scrapping the whole season would surely be an absurd call to make by the FA, so would organizing a play-off among the top four on in the league as being suggested in other leagues, even though the later seem only a whisker fairer than the later. To be honest, there is no way to end the season that would make sense or seem fair to all parties involved except playing all remaining matches, which i strongly hope would be the case.

What do you guys think of the Herd immunity and the likely strategy of England government to help the community has a widely immunized condition, if you live in England?
https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2020/mar/14/coronavirus-live-updates-uk-us-australia-italy-europe-school-shutdown-sport-events-cancelled-latest-update-news

Do you agree with it? And do you think it is too risky or dangerous for your communities?
Which one do you support (herd immunity or social distancing)?

The world is not ending. Let's assume that the whole (100%) of the world population will be infected with the virus (that will likely not), there will be only 1 to 4 percent of them will die. Of course, I do agree that the total death tolls will be high, but positively we know not all of infected victims will end with deaths.

The numbers of recovered victims are dominant compare to deaths. The more healthy and strong guys will be infected then recovered well, the higher chances to be protected for the elderly (if they won't get infected too soon in the pandemic). That's what the world might have, a herd immunity, from massive infections or from vaccines (that we won't have in the near future).

Of course anyone objective knows that, but that wouldn't stop their opponents making fun of that title. And I believe tomahawk9 has forgot about united fans who would also have something to say about that

For Liverpool to get robbed of the title this season would be one of biggest injustices in the sport. I really hope the league is just delayed and all the games will play out at later date. Winning at the green table is not the same.

That's just football fans being football fans, they will always have holier-than-thou approach.  Presented dilemma was declaring  season void or making Liverpool champion. And for me that's no dilemma at all. But i somehow doubt that it will come to that.

I really hope the league is just delayed and all the games will play out at later date. Winning at the green table is not the same.

That would be the  best solution indeed. They could even schedule those 9 games that are left in 1 month period sometimes in the summer,  and be done with it. Especially since EURO will be most likely postponed/cancelled, so summer might be free.


Here is one pic i find  fascinating, in regards how England continued with football even in toughest times. It is from the football match between Charlton Athletic and Arsenal in 1940, for the ongoing Wartime League (substitute for English Football League that was suspended from 1939-1946). They had spotter, who was watching out for German air raids.

Though Liverpool only need 6 more points to get the title and they have to postpone their dreams because of this virus so that all matches will be postponed according to what is scheduled by the organizer.

This is the worst game I have ever seen because the whole is not just the EPL, it is really boring.

I’m pretty certain the league will get finished, let’s see where we are on April 4. China got it under control so hopefully it’ll be the same in the UK.

I feel like that I am watching the movie 2012 and I am just one of the survival awaiting to aboard on the ship LOL

Seriously things are looking very bad. I saw a video clip and some doctor was saying it's the media who are hyping this corona thing with high intense. I can't remember the doctor name but it's it USA.

the problem is a little deeper here. Liverpool is not the only team in the league. For example, Aston Villa, have less one match to play and is they win there, he will go from out zone and 19th place to safe 16th position. Sheffield also has a fantastic season and have a chance to be in top five, maybe even better. it is certainly not fair for them to end up as it is. I think it's not possible to admit only the Liverpool results.

I think it's only fair that Liverpool get awarded the Premier league and everything else remains – nobody gets relegated, current top 10 remains as it is. Depending on what decisions UEFA makes regarding Champions league /Europa. If Liverpool were on top with 5 points or less, that's the kinda situation where we can argue that they shouldn't be given the title. This is different.  25 points is no joke. Regardless of what happens in the next 9 games, Liverpool is surely winning the EPL title. We'll see what happens pending the current COVID19 pandemic.

It is fair for Liverpool, everyone will agree with it includes Manchester City. But for the rest, it is not a fair solution for all. We know in soccer, everything can happen till the last seconds so teams have disadvantages in temporary positions on the ranking table sure don't agree with that solution. They have faith that they can flip above other teams in the rest 9 matches of the league.

It is life and there is no solution can satisfy all. Let's see.

[snipie]

@Toma, Toke, snipie I think we are overthinking about this season title things. Liverpool is the season winner even if there are no matches we see in this EPL which is unlikely though. I am sure after few weeks everything will go back to normal.

If I am not wrong then Liverpool just need two more goals for having the title officially. So, we are good.

Yeah true we are overthinking a little bit 
However my worries that 2-4 weeks aren't enough to handle the current situation especially in UK. Western European countries aren't even in the peak although harsh measures are taken and UK's prime minister is joking around about families losing their relatives. UK strategy for the moment is to let people get infected, somehow like the natural selection, or at least that's what we understood from his speech, so what will happen there will be madness, and nothing will resume before summer...

Liverpool is not the only team in the league but to tell you the truth, who cares about Aston Villa or Sheffield?
The team that will take the league will be remembered not the team that will get out of the relegation zone and will not get demoted.

??
Ask Aston Villa or Sheffield supporters who cares? you obviously don't understand English football culture.
19 other teams are not important only Liverpool and his great season, then we don't need this league. Give the trophy to one club, who's care about others. Why championship exists, why someone's want to rank up to the first league if they don't be remembered and are not important.
Burn them all, we don't need Premier League, only one club (Liverpool if it's possible) and give them tittle that's the only thing that matters.

By finished you mean Liverpool will be crowned Epl champions for the 2019-2020 season..well that technically makes sense but what of teams getting relegated do we have to wait for all games to be played or the bottom 3 get automatically cut off with no opportunity to fight for a place in the premier league??

Earlier on i watched Sky Sports news and there was talk of this current season premier league getting extended instead affecting the next season just in order to see it end in the required manner that's if the pandemic would cool off after a couple of months.
But the Challenge is on players whose contracts will be ending in June.

There are debate to lockdown the whole Europe, or nations in European union. If such very seriously massive lockdown will be applied, all leagues will highly be extended for a few months in order to get a consensus among biggest leagues in Europe. It will be only better for UEFA to reschedule all their plans (for EURO) and for other things relate to international matches. The discussing point, in June, sounds good because the Covid-19 will be beaten sometime in June or July.

Do you read the news from Mr. Trump. He said the lives of the USA. citizens will likely come back to normal around July.
