Postponment of Premier League fixtures due to the death of Her Majesty the Queen.

[Nymzee]

Or even energy drinks

Not allowed sorry. I don't condone sponsorship.

Just because it was ok to do it 70 years ago means nothing now.

Lots have things have changed in 70 years.

It's correct and respectful to postpone games this weekend.

More policing and less media scrutiny for one

Another week for Pickford to get closer to fitness

It’s what she would have wanted

Pickford was in her fantasy team.

 

[Hackbread]

Absolute joke
I know it was inevitable but it's obscene for us to all be forced into this artificial mourning for the sake of one old biddy.
Disgusting
How many old ladies died in the back of ambulances last night I wonder. Where's the respect for them.

 

[glory_daze]

Our next game could be saints away, with hopefully pickford fir, Dominic Calvert-Lewin fit and Gueye fully match fit... Mini pre season nice

DCL won't be match fit this calender year mat,e certainly not to play against soton away in an important game.

This actually works out well for us. Get passed being annoyed about there being no footie a second and think about this. Having an extra week (possibly two) off for us to let players get back from injuries could be a massive help to our season.

I can understand some events being cancelled, but football can act as an "escapism" for some people.

Plus, all the chaos for the paid travel, hospitality and food suppliers etc.

how do you work that one out?

 

[Billy Dean]

I think William not wanting to miss any Villa games is the driver behind all this

 

[Hackbread]

Idiot

Constructive

 

[DanEFC92]

Could be next week as well.

Dont be silly, I dunno if you are old enough to remember when Diana died but they called the games off then, to think they were going to go ahead this weekend was just daft

When she died 31st. August, we played the next day. When she was buried on the 6th. that weekends games weren't cancelled but was an international weekend and England played Moldova. She wasn't the reigning monarch.

Clubs would likely donate food to food banks/charity

Sucks for anyone who are solely employed on matchdays though

They were out of their starting blocks about 10 mins after the official announcement - pro or anti, just gtf for a bit, at least get her in the ground first ffs.
