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

To make room for the extra games, you could drop the League Cup, it may the end it.

I'd rather get rid of league games than eliminate one of our two vaguely plausible chances of winning silverware.

So would I, just thinking what they may do if they had that choice.

So Boris has said nothing that will help football admins make a decision other than we can possibly do more stuff in July.

Because,  as usual he doesn’t want to own anything.
Spin, bluster and obfuscation, and put the decision making onus on everyone else.

If everyone still has to social distance at work then how can you play football?

Shots in from either end of the office?

Thinking back we used to do that actually

Reason for my question (or series of questions) is, playing devil's advocate, why is it fair to prevent teams going up using PPG but not fair to relegate teams?

Why is PPG fair at all?  Leeds imploded last season, Liverpool have lost four on the trot.  Football is completely unpredictable, hence Watford 3 Liverpool 0.  Why is PPG considered any more accurate than any other model put forward.  Do not use it at all.

PPG isn’t fair, of course it isn’t.

Tell you what he will own, outright, the second spike.

Which, potentially, could be encouraged by the return of football, just because they value money above life.

It's turning into something so surreal even David Lynch could not come up with.

I reckon Monty Python would give it a good go though Legion.

Premier league tonight desperately  working out how all teams can live together so the game is played within their household

Said similar much earlier on in this thread. It is beyond bizarre now.

As an older observer of this pantomime I am reminded of Bluebottle addressing Eccles when Johnson speaks to the nation.

Last season at the point where games were stopped weren't we something like 10th?
