Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[Harlot]

The thing is the virus won’t go away until there’s a vaccine which could he years away. We’re just going to have to learn to live with it.

If players test positive quarantine them away from the rest of the squad. B&Q don’t shut all their stores & cewse trading if one employee gets covid19. We must try to get the world restarted.

Or better yet re-test all of the players and everyone in the pitch who have come and contact with that player, if they want to avoid anymore suspensions on when the league resumes I think this is this best way of maintaining the league to see if anyone else is also infected. Although this is a much expensive approach it will be up to them if the league continuing is what they really want. I still think that there is a possibility of containment here so they can prevent their players for even having it like in the Serie A I heard that they'll most likely play their games south of the Lombardy region where the center of the outbreak happen so they avoid as much contact from possible infected people.

Maybe but still not certain. The club may be able to force players just because they are still have contract but for some players who break contracts such as not wanting to play, the club will take decisive action and one of them is not paid.

From a different point of view, I seem to be rather supportive of players who refuse to play for health reasons which they must maintain when a pandemic situation still exists, and they must accept the consequences such as not being paid.

Some player may be able to force their own way to not play during this pandemic if they are superstar like Messi or Ronaldo but for majority of the player, they will need to play in accordance to their own contract. There isnt much to speculate right now unless there is some official news regarding this and how will they start the league

Part of me doubts the validity of this ‘unnamed’ player who has contracted the virus. It’s in Brighton's interests to get the season voided or finalised on PPG as they’re 15th. Their chairman has been very vocal about not wanting to play at neutral venues. Let’s just say it’s very convenient that it’s one of his players who has all of a sudden come down with it.

The thing is the virus won’t go away until there’s a vaccine which could he years away. We’re just going to have to learn to live with it.

If players test positive quarantine them away from the rest of the squad. B&Q don’t shut all their stores & cewse trading if one employee gets covid19. We must try to get the world restarted.

That sounds like a baseless accusation imo. In otherwise, what if the team that keep insist to restart the league actually having players who test positive but the team hides it from media so no one will try to cancel the league? Don't get me wrong mate, even if the league is stopped, Liverpool completely deserves to win the title with the outstanding performance they were showing before this fking virus hit us.

I'm not living in UK, so I don't know the actual situation there. But based on from the statistic I got, the covid-19 case is still increasing there. However I read on bbc saying the universities and schools there would be open on June 1st so hopefully everything could be back to normal asap.

Everyone including me wants football back asap. But players safety must be the top priority. Anyway this week Bundesliga teams are preparing to play on the weekend. Let's hope everything goes smooth so other league would follow.

Shame for Mr Khan that it isn’t his decision. Boris said 1st June earliest & he’s the guy running the country.

[bitgolden]

I really doubt that a team would want to not make money and pay penalties just to stay at the league. I mean basically cancelling the season would cost them a lot more than dropping in relegation because honestly I rather be a championship team than pay hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties for not playing the games.

Certainly, it may take a time to go back up, championship is good as well so its not just go down and come back up right away, however with all that much punishment the smaller teams would drop anyway if not today in few years. Go down now (and not even guaranteed they will) and just comeback next year with a stronger team, that way you can have money and actually get decent players and so forth with that money instead of paying for penalties.

What's with the mayors opposing the PL restart plan? few days ago it was the Liverpool's mayor^[1], I didn't take his comments seriously because I thought he was an Everton fan and stuff...But it seems like these guys are on the same wavelength

Big Fat Joe Anderson is an Everton fan yeah. I guess they both just don’t want to be responsible for players or club staff potentially getting ill in their City.

Good news any way, breaking -

 We might see this as something not major and considering all the preventions that will be taken and all the major opportunities that clubs have and millions of dollars thrown at the players, we  all now that a player dying is probably not even a %1 chance, its probably more like %0.1 even lesser than that. However I kinda do understand the Mayors opinion as well, even if one single person dies, even if its just a security guy that makes sure nobody goes in without permission or whatever, thats on the Mayor, thats on all the people who are responsible for the games to comeback on. So Mayors are saying no right now, even if they allow it to continue they will be politically able to say "I told them not to do it" and get out of the sticky situation.

Khan claims he is a Liverpool fan tho. There is no relation between what club they support with their opinion as majors.

[DeathAngel]

I guess their jobs are more important than the football teams they support. It doesn’t really matter what they think though because the call to restart & how it’s done will come from above them.

All in good time my friend. I swear the moment we get the 6 points we need to be guaranteed champions I’ll start calling for ‘null & void’ on the CL all over social media just like the jealous trolls of LFC have been for months.

‘It’s not safe to play CL games & travel abroad to other infected countries. Void it & let LFC still be reigning champs’

FA should consider this lmao.

[tokeweed]

^  Rofl.  Brilliant!  And the same for the fans.  We can have packed stadiums again!  

Edit:  Wait...  Is that real?  Are they really using it at practice?

Edit:  I'd like to see Alex Ferguson in one of those.  Lolol.

[BitSat19]

FA should consider this lmao.

If this Corona not going to leave us in near future then surely this is good for the safety of players and crowd and FA and other sports authorities need to think about this.

Shame for Mr Khan that it isn’t his decision. Boris said 1st June earliest & he’s the guy running the country.

The English Premier League has been stalled for two months, the organizers also have plans to resume competition, the government has also given permission that the competition can resume on 1 June.

This plan invites comments from various parties, including the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, according to him the city of London is still not ready to return to hold the English Premier League match as well as assessing that the Premier League is too rushed to continue the 2019/20 season.

I also agree with you that the country's leaders are more powerful, so I think the League will start soon.
