Coleman: 'Training feels as safe as it possibly can'

When they are all back playing, we will see which players put the effort in.

I did, as many others did last weekend, watch those games, although having said that, invariably I gave up half-way through. Although there was some skill on show, it was more like watching a kick-around or practice session at Finch Farm, but less enjoyable.

As it stands at the moment, I don't see any great danger in doing this - the infection rates are comparatively low at the moment and, as others have said, we need to start getting back to some version of normality now. But simply picking up the PL where it left off, in such restricted and altered circumstances, is utterly ridiculous.

Good idea for us and it would work for Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs and West Ham. You may get Southampton, Bournemouth, Brighton and Crystal Palace in a group. Villa, Leicester and Wolves could be supplemented by Sheffield Utd. But not sure how it works with Newcastle, Burnley, Watford and Norwich. Unless all the clubs get something similar, they won't go for it.

What would be more likely if this sort of route was followed is that the paymasters at Sky would want their darling clubs (don't expect us or Leicester to get a call) to take part in a 6-team tournament. The rest would be left out altogether.

I will cancel my season ticket, period.

I watched the German version of MOTD last Saturday, and like most on here, it was difficult trying to get excited beyond the sterile (empty) environment.

It's good that our players are excited, and let's hope we are not disadvantaged by this all.

Credits to Lyndon and Michael for keeping the site ticking over.

Seconded!

If the Premier League get to whatever phase is in place just before resumption of the league games, and Liverpool's entire first team is required to isolate themselves, due to an outbreak of coronavirus within their squad, will they require Liverpool to compete with just their back-up players?

What if the above happens and their youngsters blow the title?

Will they keep banging on about integrity then? Or will they null and void the league?

I suspect... oh, who gives a fuck!

Just give them the tainted 2019-20 trophy and start planning for a new season.

New players, new contracts, new hope.

Good idea. A competition that people can identify with. Match practice for players. Media companies more than happy.

This season should be declared null and void, like any other season that was interrupted by a major event. Better for the clubs to move on in preparation for next season.

And here are you in UK with heaps of new cases still and yet the EPL want to start matches again. Crazy IMO

It's all about $$$$$$$$$ (Sorry, I don't have a pds key on my Mac)

In SA our concern is a second wave that will remove all the benefits from the efforts against the first wave. Are we being precious or sensible?

Haha, couldn't happen to a more deserving club.

Still not sure what to do next for South Australia as our business is suffering, albeit with help from the job keeper program. It covers about 1/3rd of our wage bill but we are down close to 50% on last year's turnover. Still, we're thankful for what the Government has done.

What I don't want is frustration of lockdown to take-over and bring on phase 2, which might be more damaging. What's that phrase my mum in Moreton, Wirral used? "Patience is a virtue, try it if you can" — or something like that. Certainly, patience is needed.

Frankly, I would not like tho be at the top of the Premier League decision-making team. It's a lot of dosh they're having to think about. Maybe they need a new PR manager!

Ditto chaps. I have already cancelled my Season Ticket and asked for my money back re unplayed games. End of!!

A reckless decision was made when Liverpool played Atletico Madrid. It is time for football to be sensible for the common good.
