So who gets to play in Europe next year? Good point. Probably the same teams as this year? There is no easy solution and someone is going to lose out I think they will do their best to try and finish the season if possible to avoid these questions. If they cancel the internationals they can stretch out the season into the summer.
One more point |

Having spurs in instead of anyone looks a bit of a con.

P'boro chairman has suggested cancelling the league cup & the EFL cup, that will free up midweek slots so any over running matches can be played instead.
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Only fair that the bottom six teams in the PL after this weekend are relegated and the top six from the Championship are promoted.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

Bye bye Euros
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

For those a bit longer in the tooth will remember it's shorter than the weather induced close down in 1963 when grounds were unplayable for about 8 weeks.

Maybe they’ll finish the season, start next season later, scrap the winter break, some other cramming or fixture changes. See what develops virus wise and recommending fixtures this season. I personally don’t care that much but would like to see Brighton finish relegated but Liverpool not given the title. Hmmm. Decisions. Therefore Liverpool not given the title and Potter relegate Brighton next season.

One can only speculate as to whether leagues lower down the pyramid than the PL and EFL will also take such a decision.
