What would you do about the league season?

It's the CL places and relegation/promotion where you get into real trouble.
Norwich can do one but after that it gets complicated. Villa have a game in hand. Bournemouth are 3rd from bottom on 27 points but the two teams above them are also on 27. You're on very shaky ground deciding the current bottom 3 get relegated.

Divide the points earned by the games played for each Club.

Then multiply by 38.

There’s your final table.

Also, and this is a crucial point, they have all played the same amount of games.

The premier league hasn’t so its not fair on villa for example who have a game in hand, to say that current positions are final when they could win their game and escape relegation etc

A common tactics is to suggest a course of action you know everyone will disagree with and then you pull it back to a less severe solution and claim you have compromised. They could be after Chinese cash and the government will have to make sure that can't happen. Australia is already taking measures to ensure the Chinese can't cash in on the chaos they have caused. We need to urgently to the same here.

They might be on to something. Let them play it out over in China.

On the condition they stay there.

Then we can start again.

That works too. But my idea of calling all the remaining games a draw means we'd get a new record for most amount of draws in the history of the world. I don't see why we should be denied that, considering how hard we worked for it.

I'd be up for that. Send them on the same boat as all those corporate profiteers who sold out workers at home for slave labour in China. And no bailouts across the board for anyone with ties to China. Let the Chinese bail them out. We'll need a big boat.

Whatever happens, just thank f*** that Liverpool lost a game already.
Otherwise we'd have them claiming that they'd have gone unbeaten all season and beat our 49 game run.

Not the same as actually doing it. Just as winning the title this year will not be the same as actually doing it.

Whatever happens, let’s just all be thankful we’ve probably been spared the obnoxious fanfare that would have come with their title win. Now no one is going to care too much because of Covid.

Yes although it's a shame Citeh let them build such a big lead, it would be impossible to give them the title if it was a lot closer...

Ok, we have the answer:

"End the season now

The difference with this compared to null and void is that points achieved to this point do count. To even up the balance wherever clubs have played a different number of games, average number of points per game will be used to decide positions.

This would result in a minor shift in positions. Arsenal would nudge ahead of Tottenham for instance, as would Sheffield United, into sixth, above Wolves."

At least that way we get St Totteringham's Day :cheers:
