Even Johnson wouldn't use this as an excuse to miss another PMQs would he?

Heard someone comment on the radio yesterday that it was only a few years ago that having an affair was enough to bring down a PM. Now we've got one whose wikipedia page lists 6 or 7 children! Isn't he still married to his second wife while being engaged to Symonds and having a kid with her...

Think CVC are trying to buy into other leagues as well. Could they be the ones behind the breakaway, cherry pick the best teams for a league they have complete control of?

There's even talk about the whole league reverting to amateur. Can't see them needing a 30K stadium if that happens. Surely all the best players would leave and the level would be nearer to what you'd get at CRFC.

The stuff with the TV deal is predictable. Remember having an argument with Italia about the level of exposure Wasps gave Ricoh by being on TV all the time. Looked up the viewing figures and they were shocking bad. Us being on Sky once got more viewers than every Wasps game combined! See...

There's not a sane person on that show!

This seems to be gaining traction so not easily dismissed as something the Mail have made up. One report I read quoted an unnamed Premiership club chief exec as saying only Bristol, Exeter and Bath have owners able to cope with the current situation comfortably.

Suspect it would be nearer 100 at our level. There was only 300 at the England v Croatia behind closed doors game, think how many media would have been at that compared to our games.

He needs to come on here to get more reliable information. Someone posted earlier that the players were already aware the season was cancelled and voided!

All sorts of legal action would start up. For example only needs one lawyer to agree take on all season ticket holders across the league and take a small percentage of any win. You haven't got what you paid for, simple as that. Same with sponsors, advertisers, TV contracts and pretty much every...

Completely agree. Everything that is being raised as an issue with restarting now could continue being an issue when next season is due to start. Pointless rushing to cancel this season not knowing what is happening weeks or month down the line.

Sad to see really but this is absolutely true. Such a shame when you think of how important the Telegraph and Pink were in the past. I'd happily pay for decent coverage, maybe one day we'll be back in the Prem and get covered by The Athletic.

PL clubs won't do anything unless its to their benefit. Wouldn't be surprised if they'd happily let the whole EFL fold to be replaced by PL2 made up of their reserves.

Their current plan is to resume on 9th May. They're waiting on government approval, Merkel is apparently meeting with regional leaders this week. There's reports that if they don't get the go ahead over a third of clubs won't survive.

Telegraph reported they had paid the fees ordered by the court. Believe they were paid in instalments. if they hadn't the council could take legal action, its not optional its a court order.

Couple of important points. This isn't down to the football authorities, its down to the French government prohibiting all sport until September at the earliest. Our leagues seem to have been left to decide for themselves with some media outlets reporting the government is keen for sport to...

There's an American version which is, shall we say different. Worth a watch (its only 17 episodes) if only for the ending.

This came from Matthew Graham's (co-creator and writer) tweets during a recent watch along. Was actually on April 1st so a lot of people assumed it was a joke but he's confirmed it wasn't. Said it would be set in Manchester and London mostly in an alternate version of the present but also the...

In the government guidance under social distancing in the workplace it says keep apart where possible. There's loads of people currently at work who can't maintain social distancing in the workplace, social media is full of people complaining they aren't being kept safe at work. Obviously not...

Which are the guidelines that would prevent games being played? Be good to know what restrictions have to be lifted to realistically allow a restart.
