Which is before it was announced that Arteta had contracted it. I'd not be surprised if they still ploughed ahead, but circumstances have changed again. Link to post Share on other sites
northern boro 446 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Arsenal game will have to be called off. All the squad in isolation for 2 weeks Link to post Share on other sites
northern boro 446 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Emergency meeting tomorrow for the premier League. Expected to follow other leagues and suspend the season. Link to post Share on other sites
BillinghamBoro 229 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Crazy how something that's literally only been in the public eye for 3/4 months has totally derailed people's lives and the footballing season. Wonder if EFL games will still persist or will that change if someone picks up symptoms after weekends round of fixtures Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 If the PL cancels, I think it's inevitable the EFL will follow suit. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Says everything you need to know about the premier league that they've needed an actual confirmed case for them to actually take any action beyond "no shaking hands". Completely reactive again rather than be proactive, and completely money grabbing as usual without a care in the world that people will die. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Completely reactive again rather than be proactive, and completely money grabbing as usual without a care in the world that people will die. It’s all about money and knock on contractual obligations in everything nowadays not just sport, acting unilaterally is out of the question for any sporting team as there now little sympathy as almost every club hangs by a very precarious financial thread. solicitors will be combing various contracts with an eye for which clauses allow them to be broken without financial penalties. With La Liga acting in the way they have I expect most other top leagues will follow their example and once stopped they won’t start again till everything ok. The Olympics will be the big one to watch, how they act will be the benchmark for others as they probably the richest organisation with the most urgent need to postpone/cancel followed by UEFA.

sackrobson2 371 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Chelsea now have it too so they are all in isolation. There is no way any games will be played from now for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Why does it take player's, managers and owners to get the virus before action is taken I feel it's too late then. Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I think the season is over, isn't it. Unless games are played behind closed doors instead of the Euros or something. Wonder what on earth happens in terms of promotion/relegation/play offs if we can't. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The Euros are almost certainly going to be moved to 2021. The football calender is going to be completely out of sync for years now. It's fully understandable with this virus, even if it's sad, but then the World Cup is in December in 2022 because of corruption. Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 If the season restarts in July (for example), I wonder what that means for our players who'll be out of contract by then? Link to post Share on other sites
