Leicester City vs Aston Villa off

[Lastfootstamper]

Is it just me, or does the 'Guidance for the Period of National Mourning' sound faintly sinister?

It's not without a certain Orwellian undertone.

Assuming it’s called off you can guarantee that by the time it is rearranged Leicester will have had a massive improvement in form.

So will we

Seeing the West Ham fans sing God Save the Queen last night was quite moving. I feel that would be a more fitting tribute and then carrying on but whether that's what happens, I have no idea.

All matches off in the PL and EFL

Typical - and we are on a one match drawing streak as well. Just our luck.

Absolutely pathetic nonsense.

I shudder every time I hear just the phrase "national mourning". Adding "guidance" on it is, as you say, dark.

I think games should definitely have gone ahead, partly because the images from them would be a far better tribute and truly "national" portrayal of the majority feeling towards Queenie than having empty streets and the world stopping. Having a mandated period of wailing isn't a true reflection of the affection for Her Maj.

Fixture congestion will be interesting this year, particularly for the sides in Europe. Might work to the benefit of everyone else.

Just announced, all games off.

I cannot see a reason as to why we need to postpone sporting events.

What a load of fucking bollocks. Country on the brink of a recession and they're going to cost the country billions more by cancelling a load of stuff that really doesn't need cancelling. 'As a mark of respect' my arse. What's disrepsctful about the country going about its business. Just about every shop and other business is still open.

Ludicrous.
