I mean, I do deprecate the use of the term and don't use it myself, so nothing's changed, really. Sorry if I didn't pick up on it that time.

No worries, not even mods are omniscient, I suppose! I just thought there may have been a rethink in my lengthy absence.

There has been. We have decided that West Ham isn't really a proper club, and that they are banned from football.

I deeply resent that offensively accurate accusation.

It looks like we will be allowed to play at Anfield. :)

Premier League will restart on June 17 with Aston Villa at home to Sheffield United and Manchester City hosting Arsenal. Remaining fixtures to be completed in just six weeks, with all games shown on television

The two matches are the "games in hand" which will take all 20 clubs up to 29 games played with the remaining 90 fixtures scheduled in a frenetic six-week period, with matches played over seven weekends and two rounds of midweek fixtures, before the league season is completed on the weekend of August 1-2. Each game will be given a live television slot. The FA Cup Final would then be scheduled for the following Saturday, August 8....

Liverpool’s first fixture will be on the weekend beginning June 20, a few days later, in which we could possibly win the title v Everton if Arsenal beat Manchester City a few days earlier.

 The Daily Mail are claiming that police have given the ok for games to be played at team’s home stadiums, providing the clubs finance fixtures that may require more attention – such as big clashes at the top or bottom of the table.

This pretty much confirms that Liverpool will be able to play their home and away fixtures as normal, and will potentially get the chance to win the title at Anfield – albeit without fans to celebrate.

The idea of a null and void league is now 100% out of the question – and the only way the PL will be cancelled is if we experience a significant second wave before August.

And even in that scenario, the title will be decided on a points per game basis.
