Couldn't agree more.
Mathematically, and this is all about the statistics, Liverpool have won nothing.
If the season cannot be completed, that's the way it stays.
Could they void the PL due to the Coronavirus? | No | Resuming June 17th

If we are going on probability why are we not using probability to work out who should relegated or promoted ? What’s the percentage limit on probabilities? I reckon it’s highly probable villa win their game in hand or Sheffield United for example.
Using the coefficient at national level would undermine using it to determine sporting performance at European level. I do think UEFA will give United a CL place based on historical performance using their coefficient.
We're not using probability; PL and UEFA wouldn't risk it.

It's because you said something reasonable whilst being good looking.
Thanks again, you've been quite the helpful guy today.
well that’s the suggestion here. Because it’s highly probable Liverpool would win the league they should be given the title.
personally I think the pl will shut down as is, positions count as is for Europe. Then I am guessing that they might ask for a club vote on awarding Liverpool the league.
Chelsea have fans?
If that happens then i would hope it comes down to 9 votes for and 9 against with the deciding vote to Woodward. And despite club rivalry he would do the honourable and sportsmanlike thing and raise his thumb up.......
.......look around the room with his gaze finishing at Liverpool before slowly pointing his thumb down Gladiator style.

Honestly with the amount of talk by Liverpool fans/pundits/ex-players about how unfair it will be void the season and deny them the title, I am at the point where I'd say feck it just give those bastards the league and cancel next season's football. Let them celebrate while the rest of us concentrate on what matters more, which is dealing with this pandemic that has killed tens of thousands of people all over the world.
My brother is a paramedic and has a 2 year old kid and he is out there risking his well being working. I personally know people who've lost their family member to the disease and I know of several people who are the breadwinners of their families whose incomes have been affected by this whole thing.
Liverpool Football Club, to their credit, have not made any comments about the fact that their title win is in jeopardy. Their ex-players and fans, however have been grating in their insistence on talking about the title when there are clearly bigger issues at hand here.
Just give them the title and cancel football until it's safe.

Football HAS been cancelled until it's safe.
What happens with Liverpool should only be considered as part of what happens with the league as a whole. They can't treat any team separately.

Looks like Serie A will commence individual training May 4th, group training May 18th, and looking to continue the season around June 2 - 10 behind closed doors.

We probably wouldn't, Sheffield only lost away at Man. City and Liverpool this season.
It would be fairer to void when all teams have played same amount of games though.
Still complete madness IMO, social distancing is likely to be enforced for the rest of the year at least.
How do they have group training under those circumstances? Somebody is going to test positive eventually and what are they going to do then?
I knew it! You’ve been exposed RT!
It’s looking likely the season will be finished and I am very happy about that. Sure Liverpool winning the title sucks big time but we ourselves can still finish strongly and have a very good season overall. Top 4 very much still in play, we are still in a very strong position to go to the later stages of the Europa League and we can still have a chance in the Fa Cup. Not all bad.
All the more reason not to give it to them. Giving in to kids throwing their toys out of the pram is the first step to creating an arsehole. This is exactly the time to let them whine and scream. It‘s definitely not going to get better if they get what they want.
They're already arseholes though
Where did this information come from?
At a personal level there is not a chance i'm going to watch a match live unless 1) NHS/Care workers etc etc sufficient has PPE 2) it's effectively over
China hasn't started matches yet.. the last of the school children are going back today.. they have the testing system working well.
Based on what?
How the dutch have handled their leagues is a shining example to the footballing world from what I can tell. I cannot see any way that distancing can be upheld for the safety of any person involved with the game. What happens when a player gets injured?, rely on the St John's Ambulance or even our own very overworked NHS heroes? No-one else could attend the injured player. As it has been reported and re-booted on several occasions, what if one of the players or their family has been a carrier and they have not yet had symptoms; then pass it into the footballing stadium? The risk is far too high and nobody knows how long this virus will exist and nobody knows how long it will take to dissipate, if it does disappear. IMO, the season has to be called off. I do not want the dippers to get the league by default, or in any other way either to be honest but the footballing professional bodies have to look at what could be acceptable for future generations. We were finishing on an exceptional run and looked like a corner had been turned so I think we should now concentrate on ending this current campaign, get the nation back on their feet and out again and plan for next season.
A lot of noise this morning about restarting and 5 subs for this just to be smoke.
We will see football in 3 weeks imo

They'll need at least three weeks of training before any games of any nature take place.
The most optimistic time scale was back to training mid May as per some Fa spiel recently.
German league quite possibly returning next weekend. Italian priminister Conte has given the go ahead for individual training to resume on May 4th then team training two weeks later, Arsenal players returning to light training next week.
I know they desperate to rush it back but it just feels too soon to me
I know it's sad that people are dying of covid19 but it simply isn't sustainable for the economy to have everything closed likes pubs etc for an extended period of time. Do you want people's livelihoods to be ruined by shutting down things till 2021.
The 5 subs are set up to compensate for lack of training. I think it'll be announced this week, 2 weeks of training then back at it.
If players started training tomorrow it will be what? 5 weeks since their last training session? It might not be full match fitness but they wouldnt be far off it. Its not like theyre been off on holidays
They won't be doing any training or match prep until lockdown rules are relaxed and that won't be today or tomorrow but more than likely another few weeks at best
Let's just open them up. They'll have no punters when everyone's dead so they can make the most of it in the meantime.
Amazes me that people continue to compare the situation in Germany to the UK as a reason to get the PL up and running again.
Germany has approx 6,000 deaths v the UKs 21,000 approx and have tested over 2 Million People compared to the UKs 670,000. Its an apple and oranges comparison.
I read the Italian PM saying that, but how will it work long term unless they relax social distancing measures? It simply cannot and it seems SD in some form is with us throughout Europe probably until the end of the year.
The President of Brescia also said his club is absolutely ready to forfeit their remaining games if the Season resumes. They are bottom of the league right enough and he may have a vested interest but Brescia is the epicentre of the Italian outbreak so its understandable where he is coming from.
I thought they pretty much had been advised to go on holiday. But obviously not a traditional holiday!
The restrictions last another two weeks for starters and then it's to be seen if there's testing allowed for non vital workers.
Nothing has suddenly changed to suggest football is imminent.
The only way Sheffield can get CL is if things are played out. If not then it is EL. Most people agree that if it can be, the league should be played out. If not then you cannot be declaring Champions/relegation/promotion on probability.
I was arguing that we need to open up sooner rather than later. The post you quoted was responding to someone that was suggesting that there would be no football at all until 2021.
Ofcourse we're miles behind Germany and that will show when the season resumes miles later.
And you've kind of answered your question when you say in some form, in controlled environments it won't be as strict but even then they are taking precautions hence the rumours of the subs sitting in the crowd.
So glad this is back soon, only a couple days left of April 
Palace is a tough one to come back to but hopefully we can carry our momentum from before the suspension.

Its simply not sustainable for football clubs to survive. Remember it's not just the players or coaches either. It's the support staff too.

zero chance of football in three weeks.
And how long do you give it before accepting it wont happen? Do you have a cut off point or the season must resume at some far off distant point in the future no matter what?
exactly. A lot of countries have closed borders and those that haven’t have 14 days selfIsolation for any one coming into the country. Most players and managers will be back in their home countries, there’s a fair bit of logistics to negotiate before football begins again.
