Yeah because you should only care about people who die from covid-19 as that’s the big news right now. About 150,000 people who die from other reasons every day don’t matter right? » Read
Thousands of people die every day at any point in time. You should just stop everything you are doing in life and mourn for those who have passed away at any point in time then. » Read
Well, Belgium just "gave" the title to Club Brugge... I'm a Man Utd fan so couldn't care less personally but I don't think a team that essentially won the league would be denied the title even if rest of the season is not played. » Read
Most likely outcome seems like Liverpool being given the title and no relegation given that it is unlikely any football will be played before August/September. TV deal is a potential issue but if it means sacrificing the following season or the remaining 9 games, the more profitable option will be the second one. They could then try to reach a settlement with all parties taking a part of the hit and perhaps try to find alternative solutions like letting Sky/BT televise more PL games in the following seasons or option to extend the current TV deal for a year with a discounted price. » Read
50 million estimate would suggest a mortality rate of over 0.6% which is likely a significant overestimation based on available statistical epidemiology data. The issue is most of the reports written by sole epidemiology experts are focused on the higher end of estimates and therefore overestimates the confirmed cases as a basis of % rate of infection. » Read
Based on the laws in place to protect employees, in most countries, players don't have to extend their contracts unless they wish to do so. Extension of the duration of an expiring contract is not a unilateral decision that can be taken by FIFA or the employers (football clubs). » Read
None of the 3 mids are undisputed first choices in their positions and are rotated based on opponent (one of Ox or Keita plays against weaker teams etc). So it’s not really surprising, most key players started the vast majority of the games in the season. » Read
I disagree, financial implications are bigger if it’s not played at all. If it comes to it, they’ll play it behind closed doors. Also there won’t be a peak that’s even bigger as more people will gain immunity for the virus over time. » Read

Realistically the season has to be completed before June 30th (player contracts ending) and it seems very unlikely Premier League can be completed in that timeframe. There are still 10 matches to be played which would require at least 30 days and it would mean they would have to restart by the end of May. That’s when the virus is expected to be at its peak in the UK. » Read
Salah, Aguero, Sterling, Richarlison. Antonio tends to do well when he is back from injuries. In terms of defenders probably those with settled teams and not many transfers in and out like Burnley and maybe Sheffield Utd. » Read
Those mortality rates assume that all cases are 'confirmed' whereas in reality majority of the cases don't even get tested. Therefore the reported mortality rates are significantly higher than they actually are. The actual mortality rate is estimated to be 0.3% to 1.0%. » Read
My company didn’t implement a working from home policy either and I’m not against the decision, this will go on for months and a lot of people don’t end up getting any work done from home. » Read
It won’f be possible to play matches before end of June and teams will lose some of their players and obviously can’t play new signings in the remaining games so realistically I don’t see any chance of rest of the season being played. The possibilities are either to declare current standings final or declare the season void. Of course both are controversial but one of the two will have to be chosen. » Read
