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

[cdbearsfan]

Doesn't help us. It's amusing seeing Hearts and Thistle down but really only Stranraer were in a position where they would definitely have gone down. 14-10-10-10 with no relegation this season would have been fairer.

100% true

The night of the game I was in my Heartlands hospital bed recovering from an operation following a heart attack the previous day. My wife paid to have the game on the overhead TV thingy they have @ £20 per day.

at 0-3 I was ready to roll over and fall back to sleep. Come added time you can imagine my blood pressure went sky high and the muted yelp I let out when Green headed in the equaliser had a nurse run in from the next door ward.
She gave me a glaring look, turned the tv off and suggested for my own sake I calmed down and went to sleep. I said what had happened but it fell on deaf ears

Bloody Villa could have been the end of me

Yes, as funny as I personally find it to see Hearts go down and Rangers' attempts to derail Celtic winning 9-in-a-row being thwarted, I am worried by anything that sets a potential precedent for relegating us.

The media would love that, and with the uncertainty out of the way, could continue to spend the foreseeable future desperately trying to flog our players.

'With Jack Grealish's 'dream' move to Old Trafford seemingly completed, here's a selection of mock-ups showing John McGinn in a range of socks representing European giants he COULD be playing for next season: United, City, Spurs, Toon, West Ham, Milan, Barca, Madrid, PSG? Tell us YOUR favourite!'

The local rag would be loving it, more clicks than they've ever had before on their woeful advert-ridden site.

Yeah, take that you Jambo c**ts!

Hibbee barstewards...😜

Hearts might yet get a reprieve as they are stilling looking into reformatting the leagues up there

But we have a game in hand which Hearts don't so it will be more difficult to relegate us. Hopefully.

Yes, but they state they have adopted points per game.  I just hope we have a legal case if necessary.

Mind you the Dutch haven't relegated anyone, and they speak better English than the Scots.

Hibs and the French clubs relegated all taking legal action , this is why the PL wants to play as well to avoid 3 teams taking them to court.

Teams have agreed to return to training tomorrow in small groups , so I would think its likely to rekick off especially as German seemed to have got through the first set of games ok and had good viewing audiences globally.

I read the agreement today was always going to pass, it is stage 2 that will be tricky. That said, I think it will happen as well.

It’s the same as the decisions lower down the leagues in England, owners don’t have the £’s/$’s/€’s to fight it legally....we do & no doubt will do if they impose a rule change at this point.

PL Games will finish, Championship will also have to finish if they want to promote anyone....which again is 100% how it should be.

[Hillbilly]

On paper, we're candidates for relegation. But as the old saying goes, football is played on grass not paper.

Ah...
