It's the first time I'm hearing it. Can you perhaps send me the link to the news site? I couldn't find it on google.

I think it's pure speculation imho, but if a full-on pandemic starts in the UK I could see it happening.

 

that said, I honestly don't see how even if the league was cancelled they couldn't just award them the title. Despite their defeat to Watford, they have been by far the best team in the league.

Sure. I agree. But I can understand the other side too, because mathematically speaking it's still possible for them to lose the title. But we all know Liverpool got it this year.

idk bout that bro, we've bottled it before and we were so poor against Watford, if we play the rest of the season like that then I see us choking

Rest of the league has been putting perfomances like that in all season, so it's unlikely they'll bottle it like they did in 13/14 which was mostly due to the tenacity Chelsea had that year moreso than Liverpool's poor perfomances at the end of the season. Man City doesn't have the tenacity this season to catch up I don't think, and Leicster certainly doesn't.

As much as I'd love to see Man City winning again, you guys quite obviously got it this year. I see you also getting the double on the Champions League.

more scaremongering. at most, games will start being played behind closed doors rather than cancelled altogether. it's just to minimise the large crowds which would help a contagious disease thrive

Probably ATM, but this virus is spreading rapidly. I could see it happening.
