You gotta figure it’s running rampant through the EPL now. Every player on the field touches the same ball(s) with every throw and FK. There’s shirt tugging, body checking, high/low fives, and helping the opponent up after a tackle, plus sharing water bottles when the trainers run out. The number of players confirmed in the last day is crazy.
It's mind-boggling to me that as recently as 24 hours ago the PL's stance was "the games will continue, and with full stadiums". It would have been shockingly irresponsible and negligent for them to have gone ahead.
Lol.... Gotta hand it to you, you’re like the kid (me) who knows there’s nothing in the fridge but still opens it a half dozen times to make certain you haven’t missed anything.
Allowing Liverpool to win the PL is also different from promoting Leeds because the latter also requires relegation of someone from the PL. This is where adjusting the rules midstream is the most difficult. Creating winners is fun and easy.* Relegating a team without a full chance to avoid it is highly questionable.
They’ve played over 3/4 of the season. 29 of 38 matches. It stinks for teams at the bottom to go down without knowing if they’d be able to claw their way back, but the flip side is through 75%+ of the season they haven’t shown the ability to stay up so why give them the benefit of the doubt? And why hurt the odds of other teams in the championship by have to play even more games next year with additional opponents?

Should probably be less so
Thanks man, hope you're good too.
All the Championship clubs have expressed a desire to finish the season in solidarity with one another. I can't speak for all Leeds fans but after waiting so long I don't think I'd want us to get promoted in any way that could be seen as unfair. I'm a little worried that the demands of Bielsa's style of play may suffer from an extended break more than others, but it's up to us play the conditions as well as we can.

I saw the QPR manager Mark Wharburton suggested playing out 19/20 and abbreviating 20/21 if need be (perhaps 1 game per team pairing instead of the usual 2). That seems fairest to me. Better than cutting current season short. Better than cramming in fixtures and having players get injured. At least we can plan for 20/21 to be abbreviated in a way that is fair.
P.S. you tag someone by just typing "@" and then their name. Autocomplete drop-down will appear but it works even if it doesn't AFAICT.

That's a good point. We actually had our dip around the new year but had won 5 wins on the bounce before the cessation. If we do end up resuming (everything points to yes right now) I am gonna be a bit of a wreck before that first game back.
) so me and the boys have been enjoying those. Be safe and well everyone.
