Analysis from Bryan Swanson from Sky. UEFA's decision to postpone all national team matches in June was a formality. Footballers cannot play games during an international crisis, and the coronavirus pandemic has not yet peaked throughout Europe. The video conference call lasted nearly two-and-a-half...

That's just the way things could be, winners & losers it's a freak occurrence, what about Sheffield United on course for maybe Europe, moaning & reflecting on what could have been isn't helpful. If the decision gets made it will be mixed emotions everywhere, that's the brutal reality of life. That'...

I've been saying this for a while now, whether due to the above, or just realising that there are other options in life. For as many fans who will flock back when this is over, I suspect equally many won't. The thing is, football is very tribal. The only reason supporters of clubs like Man U and Ma...

As I have said we have not locked down to the extent of Italy.

And neither has Germany.

It’s the general trend I am looking at. The general trend is still looking similar to Italy.. And I don’t like that. We are going to bust our ICU capacity at this rate. Isn't one of the problems with any lockdown in Italy is that entire families (often four generations) are in the same house togeth...

It is what it is, there’s no perfect answers or solutions to this, you’ll never get everybody agreeing & they’ll be positives & negatives to whatever the ultimate decision is.

But why cancel now. Why not wait until it becomes clearer?

Pretty sure they’ll be clauses embedded within contracts protected against this, be daft drawing up 1 without anyway.

And if clubs can't pay wages then players have the legal right to walk away and join clubs who will pay them.

You can't be legally forced to work for nothing.

It will be, you are also leaving the argument wide open or should I say door to, well if football can go ahead why can’t this that & the other go ahead & before you know it we are pretty much back to square 1, where we are now.

If this season is cancelled how on earth can clubs survive when no money is coming in, especially those further down the leagues?

The problem is that if this season is cancelled it'll render next season pretty much worthless in terms of any achievements.

Makes you wonder why they all went to A & E before

That's been a debate for years in that many people who go to A&E often don't need to go there and could easily see their GP instead as this poster campaign emphasized

As soon as someone is intubated the ventilator is doing all the work delivering positive pressure ventilation, compared to negative pressure ventilation which is how we normally breath. This means you lose muscles associated with breathing. It can take months to recover from less than a week intuba...

The stats so far are not looking good for those severely affected. In UK thus far about half put on ventilators don't make it.

People will only be safe once they have had it and recovered or until a vaccine is found in 12-18 months time

They don't have a cure for HIV yet as long as suitable treatments are available then a vaccine becomes less important.

I suspect that if this season is declared null and void then next season will almost certainly be as well.

Seeing the video of Boris revealing he had the symptoms, a persistent cough and a temperature, I thought with this virus you couldn't go more than a few seconds without a serious coughing fit as it was that bad?

But surely the best way is to use next season to tie up all the loose ends from this? If you cancel this season and next season starts late you have two seasons effectively damaged, because we can't play midweek games every week unless the European competitions are cancelled as well. Then what about...

There's no right answer, but looks to me like they're wanting to void all the leagues, just testing out reaction on the non-leagues. Aim to start again in September. There's a temptation to cancel everything this year but life will go on and although things look bleak now it won't last forever. A w...

It's impossible to start next season in August, so you might as well finish this one and write off next year.

If this season gets cancelled then the 20/21 will have to be played under different circumstances as well to get it finished.

even though they're showing you the results of what we were doing three or four weeks ago.

I thought the incubation period was on average five days and any serious symptoms a few days after that?

So any new cases would be showing up from that last week or so?
