I wonder if what happened to the UFC last night will happen to the prem.

Basically the ufc were whoring themselves to every place that could hold an event...private island, indian casino etc. Its been going on like this for a few weeks trying to find an arena/country that is open, but because the normal media didn't care/take notice, it was going ahead next weekend ( and planned on doing fight cards there every week ).

Then the media picked up on it in the last few days, which led to a senator tweeting disapproval, which made the head of Disney ( who own ESPN which UFC airs on ) call the UFC & tell them to cancel all planned events until Corona is over.

I think the Prem could say tomorrow that they're going to start the games again next week & if certain mongs complain to make it look like they're risking lives for £££ then the tv gimps will pull the plug.

National League come up with some crazy scheme - games not played and clubs vote on final positions. That's going to end well.

Thank you for the somewhat backhanded compliment.

They'll end up cancelling it but will award Liverpool the title. No relegation tho.

6 weeks ago we were worried they were going to win the treble.

Now we're talking about them being handed a PL title they didnt win.

Would've bitten your hand off for that in February.

Aye. A title award in an empty stadium by default

Probably as good as it gets

UEFA gives permission for Scotland to end it's league. Not sure what it means for promotions and relegation, but looks certain Celtic will be named champions

The lower leagues have decided their fate so it means Celtic champions and Hearts relegated however they have recently appointed some task force to work on extending the SPL to 14 teams which would mean Hearts don’t get relegated.

Would have enjoyed the seethe if their league was declared null and void and therefore Celtic's bid to win ten in a row (currently at eight) had to start again from scratch

It would have been a nice symmetry with the scousers. Lots of ha;f and half seethe. YNWA split screen videos.

Bellers - I think the scottish clubs have already agreed that if season has to be void, Celtic win it. Nine is a row guaranteed, but forever asterisked.

I was trying to be clever so can understand people missing it it was a play on them ending their shit league all together.
