    Well, at least City won't have to deal with a change in atmosphere if they play their matches behind closed doors.

    Seriously, using youtube subs as a proxy - newcastle united (who by my estimation have always and still have more actual fans) have 74k subs; Man City have 2.4 million. Fucking joke. More like a trending netflix series than a fitbaw club

    I think it's a bit more like a very long running TV series they never heard of. Some ludicrously rich guy somehow purchases an individual TV series and hires a bunch of A list movie actors to appear on it. It gets more attention, goes up in the ratings and people pretend they always followed it.

    They probably hire people to mass “follow”

    Yep bots and fly by night accounts. For a price you can purchase X amount of "followers" online. Youtube every once in a while does a purge to mitigate it. Essentially they run an algorithm in an attempt to thin them out. A lot of advertisers (or the company that hires them) are ignorant and look at basic stats like page views or subscribers so they figure it's similar to TV ratings.

    If they did a tiny bit of research they'd soon find out thousands and thousands of those supposed followers are not only not real, but not even based on the same continent.

    Rangers bravely refused tae buckle tae Corona virus fears and were in European action yesterday evening. We’ve softened Bayer Leverkusen up, tricking them intae a false sense o’ security, and will win the next leg three nil in Germany.

    The EPL is surely going to be at the very least suspended if not outright cancelled

    There's a a Danish restaurant called Fylkir of Copenhagen located at 134 Newlands Rd. You should vandalize it :D

    What do you think will happen...delay the season for a month or so, postpone Euro 2020 to next year and then complete the rest of the season up to say August? And then start next season a tad later than normal? I think it would be crazy to call an end to the season now to be honest, especially when you have to decide who goes up and down and European trophies still up for grabs. Obviously depends on how much worse this virus gets.

    Haha! Just imagine if some poor sod had a dream one night that all this happened, then woke up and realised it was all a dream, only for it to actually happen months and months later.

    It's already been ruined. It's going to get voided now anyways and it would have happened sooner but for the fact that top 4 isn't settled and Levy likes a lawsuit.

    I honestly think it will be delayed. You can't just cancel the season, that's crazy.

    Liverpool were on course to be the fastest winners ever. We still might do it in terms of games played but chronologically, that's gone. We were all looking for that feeling. 1. 2 up in a certain game....and when we knew, finally, the Rubicon wsa to be crossed.

    That's gone now. At best its gonna be some "declaration" or outright cancellation

    Asterisk FC.

    22 fucking point lead.

    Jimmy, in 8 weeks.........this Corona shit will be peaking, not abeying

    2 wins.

    If Liverpool had won ALL their games...........we'd be still be getting fucked.

    It's crazy to cancel the season but UEFA have already half done it.

    The Euros is gone. The Champions League is next.

    Those are very strong precedents.

    The only thing stopping the EPL from washing their hands of it {LOL} is the fact that Levy and Delia will sue.........as will the guy at Leeds.

    That's all.

    The EUROS is already off. That's decided.

    It's not how I wanted to win the League.

    I wanted to be there in front of the TV when the whistle went in a certain game and we HAD DONE IT.

    Now.......it's like celebrating your birthday via correspondence or something.

    Yeah I get that to be honest, shitty situation for sure. So if everything is cancelled until April, what would be the game where you could win the league?
