UEFA has temporarily lifted the 3pm Saturday TV football ban in the UK to help with fixture congestion when/if the season resumes.


The thing that confuses me is why it was UEFA who imposed it in the UK and not the FA. Why do UEFA care about attendances at grass roots level? I might be missing something here, just always assumed it was the FA.

It's only temporary, but interesting nonetheless.

Liverpool and Tottenham the two finalists of the 2019 CL final Should be allowed to play one game winner take all for the Premier League. We have the right kind of stadium, the best fans, the enigma NDombele, the clout, the clap and the status to make it work.
You know it makes sense.
No point you already know the result the team would blow out again :joyful: :happy:

Two more players tested positive for Coronavirus, including a Norwich player.
Surely they can’t honestly say it’s safe to resume the season still.

Unless you triple test the players and coaches 3 days before a match and not allow them out of the group until after the match, you cannot guarantee anything.

If the league wasn't the way it was, I'd say a safer way would be to divde the clubs into groups of four and have them all play eachother and no one else. Then have a cooling off period where new groups are made up and then rinse and repeat.

It would at least keep any infection locked to within a four club group and we wouldn't see the risk we now have of it jumping from club to club across the country.

Looking at the PL fixtures and Sheffield United and Arsenal has the hardest fixtures left of the CL chasing teams, both of them will finish between 8-11
United and Wolves has the easiest fixtures left, Chelsea and Spurs have medium hard left

Last game of the season, Chelsea - Wolves will be huge
We can only afford to draw maximum 2 games imo, not lose one. It’s not impossible but we have to play much better than we have so far this season

This is how I would rank each CL chasing team remaining fixtures:

Spurs:
Hard: United (H), Sheffield (A), Arsenal (H), Leicester (H)
Medium: West Ham (H), Everton (H), Newcastle (A), Palace (A)
Easy: Bournemouth (A)

Chelsea:
Hard: Man City (H), Sheffield (A), Liverpool (A), Wolves (H)
Medium: West Ham (A), Palace (A)
Easy: Villa (A), Watford (H), Norwich (H)

United:
Hard: Spurs (A), Sheffield (H), Leicester (A)
Medium: Southampton (H), Palace (A),
Easy: Brighton (A), Bournemouth (H), Villa (A), West Ham (H)

Wolves:
Hard: Arsenal (H), Sheffield (A), Chelsea (A)
Medium: West Ham (A), Everton (H), Burnley (A)
Easy: Bournemouth (H), Villa (A), Palace (H)

Sheffield United:
Hard: United (A), Spurs (H), Wolves (H), Chelsea (H), Leicester (A)
Medium: Newcastle (A), Burnley (A), Everton (H), Southampton (H)
Easy: Villa (A)

Arsenal:
Hard: Man City (A), Wolves (A), Leicester (H), Spurs (A), Liverpool (H),
Medium: Southampton (A)
Easy: Brighton (A), Norwich (H), Villa (A), Watford (H)
