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

Hahaha what? A week off isn’t going to set us back to an unfit state.

2 weeks ....not ideal when we haven't looked that sharp already then another couple of weeks for the international break

Been vehemently anti royal all my life, but cheers Lizzie girl, great timing to help out the blues from you.

The possible Everton-related advantage of this is that our keeper misses less games and we may get Arsenal at a time they aren’t so in form

RIP Lizzie, a true blue

Redshite requesting null and void

I can't get over the idea of state-mandated mourning.

Can't those who want to just bang pots and pans on their doorsteps or something?

North Korea esque

Great North 5K cancelled tomorrow night. Decision pending on whether the Great North Run will be cancelled on Sunday, but looks likely. I just don't get why events are being cancelled? It's not like workplaces are shutting down for 10 days...

Plus loss of trade for small businesses who depend on such events.

Utterly disgusted by some of these posts, and ashamed that they come from blues. Somebody has died, yanno, and their family and friends will be heartbroken. By all means don't come out with fake tears, but if you can't say something respectful about the end of a life, then consider just not saying anything, eh?

From a fan point of view, I think it makes sense to allow the games to go ahead, with the natural caveat of a remembrance /celebration for the Queen.

Fans have forked our money, and doesn’t seem right that they be up out of pocket, especially when some aren’t Royalist.

From an Everton perspective, suits me down to the ground, get DCL and Pickford fit.

No decision will be made on games being played until they speak to Klopp and sees what he wants to do.

Looking like the Monday

I think, given the nature of it, they could well hold the funeral on the Sunday.

I reckon the games this weekend don't go ahead, and our game v West Ham probably gets moved to Saturday.

If you cancel the football, do you cancel everything?
The golf at Wentworth, the test match, the rugby super League games etc etc. It makes no sense. Sure, weekend of the funeral, give everyone a weeks notice. Fine.
But to just shut everything down is a bit silly.
Have Friday, sure. But then crack on, and have nothing on the weekend of the funeral.
Any other professions being shut down for a bit?
Give these organisations time to make arrangements.

Saying that, I can easily see the league being shut down for a few weeks. Will be sommat along the lines of the national game supporting the national mourning.
Fantastic timing for us. Get over the injuries and bed in the new players in training.

The Test match tomorrow has been called off.

It's a plan that was set in general for all sport to be called off. This is an unprecedented situation in most people's lifetimes so of course there's going to be somethings that we haven't seen before.

I'm not saying I agree with it, but I think it's likely it happens for this weekend. It is what it is, and helps us out at this present time to be honest.

Yep, this is RS behaviour tbh……
