I am just checking here since I am not much updated about the information of the PL now. Last few days busy with spreading the contents for Bruno and I hope a lot of other will join the cause too. Anyway, where are we regarding the pool points and what fate they have decided for the PL? Still they are planning for the two match to be played and end the season?

I think the PL & all its clubs are having a video conference tomorrow. We should get a clearer picture of what will happen then.
I don't think they will be able to decide anything on that conference but maybe they will be able to agree some broad guidelines and feel the opinions of all interested parties. Then they will have some official announcement which will not say anything new. They could even purposely leak some crazy ideas just to judge public reaction.

The Belgian league has apparently finished early and Club Brugge have been crowned champions. Their league looks similar to the Premier League as well with Club Brugge running away with the title at 70 points with their nearest rivals on 55. They only have one relegation spot as well but seems unfair to them as they can still get out of it. Not sure what's happening to them. Maybe they should let them stay up this season and play with an extra club next.

I read that there will be no relegations there this season.
I think the article said that 2 teams will be promoted so yes, I guess they will play with an extra team next season.
It was a bit easier to do it there, they have a certain champion who gets the only CL spot and nobody gets relegated - so, a fair call. In England most teams still play for something and it would be hard not to relegate anyone in the Prem.

Maybe I'm getting old but I never got how people love watching 'streamers' play video games like FIFA or COD. That's some seriously lame shit but it's huge with da youf right now. Watch a book or read a film or some shit. I guess actual e-sports is a little different, but watching some random youtuber play Call of Duty absolutely flummoxes me.

That virtual football is something I will not be touching. I am not watching it and definitely not betting on it. In these times without actual sports to bet on I have turned on to esports and I must say I am quite pleased with the results for now. There is a lot of surprises and since my bets tend to shift more to underdogs and chasing of high odds that suits me perfectly.

Agree with you, hundreds of thousands of people die from normal flu every year. Old people die of pneumonia regularly, I think it’s all overblown.
I’m getting really frustrated with the restrictions put on us too, this can’t end soon enough.
I’m getting really frustrated with the restrictions put on us too, this can’t end soon enough.
Restrictions are hard to take, yeah. And the thing about numbers is true as well.
I feel that the reason why all of this is happening (quarantine/movement restrictions etc) is because people die in the same locations and by big numbers in the same period. If this number of people died in a period of 1 year, nobody would have done nothing of the sort. But the thing is that once it affects an area, the number of seriously ill and dead people grow really rapidly. I know because we are so close to Italy so I was tracking that from the beginning.
For example, my country has less than 1000 infected and 6 dead, yet we're all quarantined. It is annoying, yea, but otherwise it can become a huge burden for our not so good health system.
Bottom line - I just want it to end. It is hard being home and the economical reprecussions will be big.
Oh, and yeah - I really wanted to go to Liverpool for the title celebrations. We waited long enough, I hope we're having a proper party even in December if that's the earliest we can have one.

^ Yeah it sucks. But we just gotta get over it asap and get all the people who needs treatment get their treatment. The thing is to get it early before serious respiratory damage happens.
April 02, 2020, 04:28:25 AM
^ Lawl if Real gets to beat City on aggregate and goes to the finals and win the whole thing. -_- Very possible given the situation with the outbreak and loss of mometum by some clubs.
What's the latest on the league? I think it could be back earlier than expected and the whole outbreak is mostly fud.
Edit: Well not 'fud' but overblown.

The 2019/20 will be completed, voiding it is not an option according to UEFA -

Yeah, but what about the Premier League. Obviously finishing them at some point is preferential to most and for multiple reasons, but it's the question of when that can happen. Worst case scenario is it could be a year from now before play is allowed to resume safely. Maybe even longer than that. Who knows. There's really no end in sight right now.
Regarding the TV deals - I feel we are getting closer and closer to a 'NBA season pass' kind of deal. Premier league is huge, audience is so big and content-wise it is still lacking.
If you have NBA or NFL league passes, you will know what I'm talking about. These are great, I always wanted the Premier league to go that way and maybe these legal problems could force them into taking that kind of approach a bit faster.
League pass content can be viewed at any time, on any device, and has a ton of extra stuff to read/watch. If it costs like 100$ per season, they would get to a few billion $ easily just in Europe.

Well that's what I've been wanting for a while, but doesn't really bother me as I get that from dazn right now, but there's a few hoops to jump through like finding a proxy and getting someone to set it up for you in the country that you want it in. I'd much rather pay a little more and go the "official" route. The trouble is, in the UK unless the change the law they can't show the 3 o clock kicks off on TV but it's such an outdated rule and needs to be changed and I'm sure it will be at some point but I hope it's sooner rather than later.

this is an ideal scenario. the number of new infections still needs to decreases. Is it possible for all players and teams to be constantly quarantined for two months that they do not spread the infection among themselves?
Maybe is not directly related to football and Premier League, one major sporting event with so long tradition was cancelled. Official statement
How about they play the games but on FIFA? Each player controls their own game version of themselves and at least they can be played from home
. That would actually be fun to see.

I got this email too, but didn't noticed it earlier because it wasin advertisements folder.
As I understand, all these games will be played by bot? I doubt that I'm going to predict results of these games or watch it. I'll rather wait until real football will resume. And for now I'll just watch some classic matches.

There are people who actually bet on these computerised games. Skybet do them. I remember once they gave me a free £1 or £2 bet to place on them. I think it was some match like Real Madrid vs a shit La liga team near the bottom and you just watch like the match play out like it was LMA Manager 2002. Anyway, I bet on Real and they lost haha. No idea who gets desperate enough to bet on these. There's enough football going on to bet on... or not so much right now but you gotta be pretty desperate to start betting on fake football.

Same here, but directly to my inbox. And meanwhile I joined quite a number of Pools , Premier League, Italian and Spanish League, so I'd guess this was sent to all users in any football pool.
Due to the stark boredom I've witness over the past fews weeks, I think I might be joining to make predictions only with nothing to lose.

What are you thinking about that? Live stream on Youtube
lol yeah, what is this, 2010? should live stream it on Twitch, i wanna posts my pepe emotes 
But, I didn't receive this email, maybe people who signed up to specific pools this season are the ones getting this email? Anyhow, sounds like fun tbh, especially if they simulate a transfer window...Imagine Neymar in Man Utd or Bale in Chelsea LOL
I am signed up only to two Bitcointalk pools. Premier League and UEFA CL. I don't know why it's selective, maybe you'll get it later
Personally I don't like predicting results from computers game, but I might be able to follow in this deficient in sports.

It's a normal Superbru football predictor tournament, except:
It will start on Tuesday 7 April at 15:00 BST with Virtual Liverpool v Virtual Norwich
There will be one round per day of the original Premier League fixtures until May 14th
The matches will be run as computer simulations in tournament mode on FIFA 20, using up-to-date squads and form... and we'll even simulate a January transfer window. If you don't know FIFA, it is strikingly accurate and will produce realistic results
Our social media team will keep you up to date with form and team news
We are even aiming to live stream big matches via YouTube
You can set up pools and earn honours like normal
