How much will Coronavirus (COVID-19) impact Aston Villa's season?

[aev]

Paul - you're like a dog with a bone.

But as you dragged my name back in, I think you'll find both me and Brassneck are in favour of voiding it if that's what you're getting at?  So there's your 100%.

We're just realistic enough to accept that our opinion is driven by what is best for the Villa, not some faux concern about integrity etc. 

Why is concern about the integrity of the league "faux"?

Are you saying the integrity argument is false, or I am using this argument in a "faux" way?

Apologies if this was answered previously?

It has been discussed previously, but in summary we seem to have a very high proportion of fans concerned about integrity, the PL being greedy etc etc compared to other clubs forums where, as you may expect, many seem far more keen for the season to be finished.  The conclusion is more people on here are driven primarily by Villas plight than are prepared to admit it. 

Chuck in a bit of virtue signalling and suddenly we're the most reasonable caring fan base in the league and it's absolutely nothing to do with the fact that voiding the season is most likley to save us from relegation.   

This is my opinion and I've repeated because I've been asked to.  It's not an invitation for another huge, tedious, condecending mansplaining rebuttal from Paul, so please do resist if you possibly can.

[Brassneck]

Who's going to give you the perfunctory patting down on your way in?

Which route will you take? Will you pass Percy by the garden, Mac by the kitchen and Dave next to your son's bedroom door shouting at you as you pass them?

Another good argument for screening games - You miss that trio:

Percy whose face looks like it will crack if it ever breaks out into a smile, Mac, whatever happened to him? I miss his affront to fashion and then Dave "holier than thou" Woodhall, fresh last Friday nights/Saturday morning drunken ramblings.  How he ever has the nerve to accuse someone of being "morally superior" is beyond me.  Never has such a non-entity of an oxygen thief had such an over inflated opinion of himself.

He's going to ban me for playing the victim you know?  Dave "please let me keep supplying you with drinks General" Woodhall?    who sold out his subscribers the minute Mark Ansell gave him an interview.

So in answer to the question, a bit of both ?

You appear to have crossed the line from tedious bore to offensive prick. Well done, you.

[paul_e]

Chris how about you explain how the reasons people are giving aren't legitimate rather than just dismissing them as people wanting to save the club from relegation, it's really that simple. I won't bother asking brassneck to do the same, he's determined to ban himself so ets leave him to it.

I do like that your claiming to be in favour of voiding the league, to suit your argument, but have spent weeks bitching at everyone who thinks that's the best course of action.

[chrisw1]

You'll find I've been 100% consistent that I want the league voided.  I'm just honest enough to admit why and I don't necessarily think it would be the fairest outcome.

[Small Rodent]

There's nothing faux or virtue signalling about not wanting people to fall ill because of football being rushed back.

[aev]

You'll find I've been 100% consistent that I want the league voided.  I'm just honest enough to admit why and I don't necessarily think it would be the fairest outcome.

But because you think this way, you are unwilling to accept others may hold the same view for different reasons?

And by extension, dishonest?

No I'm willing to accept some do.  But I don't accept the general difference between the sentiments of our fans and other clubs fans who seem far less virtuous on the matter is co-incidence.  As I've said before, the rage against the callousness of the PL trying to find a way to finish the season seems to be directly proprtional to how much the said finishing of the season stuffs up your club.
