Aston Villa vs Chelsea Pre-Match Thread (Match Postponed)

[OzVilla]

Once it gets in amongst the playing staff it's over until everyone is recovered - else you'd have teams still having to play with players missing when other teams didn't have to. 

Once they suspend I think, if you believe the Govt projections, it'll be suspended for months.

[Villafirst]

It's likely that more players, coaches etc., will catch the virus as it escalates. Season over you feel?

[frank black]

Season over I expect

[Perthvillan]

I'm happy that we didn't have to play the Chelsea game behind closed doors.
Our fans are the only positive about us at the moment.
A suspension of the league is now looking more likely by the hour.
Who knows what that will mean for the future.
If Euro 2020 is called off maybe the season could be extended.
I hope the season can ultimately abandoned then at least we can go again in August (hopefully).

[ROBBO]

Plenty of time to find a new manager then.

[sid1964]

Well if they are all self isolating - we may win?

If true then this will be off

[john e]

Chelsea players no show because whole squad self isolating
Villa squad still at full strength

Pools panel - 0-2 Chelsea

Suspended till the summer, is the current thinking; with the Euros being pushed back to 2021.

The Everton squad now in self isolation after a player reported symptoms.

The virus could be around for another 6 months, nobody knows.

[levico]

I think our defence has been self-isolating for weeks.

[Risso]

Hudson - odoi tested positive ,game 100% off now

I think we need to look at the bigger picture, do what's best for the players and society as a whole, and.......deduct Chelsea three points and award them to us.  Then cancel the season. It's only fair.

[Drummond]

I think every premier League game apart from ours should be cancelled. Ours must be played. And if Chelsea don't turn up (they aren't allowed to) we get the points.
