Does anyone else feel, from a purely United perspective (so not taking into account the health benefits of stopping), that the league being played out behind closed doors may be best actually? The scouse wouldn’t win their title, which would be glorious, but they’ll probably get next year’s anyway. Meanwhile we’ll have another year out of CL, probably triggering a bunch of clauses that the Gimps will use as an excuse to avoid any decent transfer deals. If the league was played out we now have a very decent chance of top 4 IMO, whereas another year will allow our rivals to get better whilst we likely stall. Nah. No title for the Scouse is better than us being in the the European Cup to make up the numbers. Plus we can always use the Schrödinger's qualification as a selling point to Sancho etc. - "The season was cancelled but we were clearly going to get into the Champions League. We had the momentum and were a favourite for the UEFA Cup too." Agree on Schrödinger's qualification, but I fear the Gimps won't shell out anyway as one presumes the Adidas penalties, and others, will kick in regardless. Any excuse to not spend money. |

Funny thing about shutting schools: There's no recorded patient of Covid-19 under the age of 7... It’s being reported that on Irish TV tonight, RTE, there was a WHO representative on Skype from Geneva, and a Professor of Infectious Diseases and other Doctors who said shutting schools was entirely one of the correct things to do. They’re professionals so I suppose they have their reasons (other than no pupil under 7 as being recorded as having it). Whilst it may be true that under 7s aren't getting symptoms, it doesn't necessarily mean that they can't be carriers... I imagine that would be a good reason to shut down schools... Also, a lot of children over the age of 7 apparently go to school...  |

I wanted another Europa League but if that’s the price to pay for the Scouse not winning the league so be it.

I have a massively compromised immune system, no spleen ,for which I take 500mgs of penicillin daily ,had pneumonia, and have an auto immune version of Lupus, I take between 6/7 mgs of Warfarin daily and a Statin.Apart from that I’m fine! I’m an (English) civil service manager, working in a busy public office where staff and public intermingle all day. So far my Dept has referred ppl like me with underlying health conditions, to “ the guidance on the intranet” which is a cut and pasted complete waste of fucking time! If I get this Covid-19 my doc’s have already told me that I’ll be really poorly, the LAST thing I want is to be stuck in an isolation tent being fed Grey Minced Cat and Mashed potato via a fucking gauntlet! I’m seeing my GP tomorrow and will ,most likely, get a sick note for a month. That is pretty shit mate... Just stay away from people as much as is practical... Best recent advice I heard was instead of trying not to catch it, behave as if you have it and don't want to pass it on... This doesn't necessarily apply to you but it certainly does for the vast majority... Stay safe... |

What a masterstroke that Ighalo signing proved to be. Potentially second best in our history. Well done, Ed

English football suspended til 3rd April, I think it's highly likely a full cancellation will follow nearer that time.

Talk that Ireland will be going on lockdown from 8am Monday morning. Any clue as to what measures that will be SET? I'm pretty worried about my family there, especially my aunt, she works in a supermarket and is constantly in contact with people. Stay safe brother. |
