@LFC: Yeah, we'll just wait. It'll resume, in whatever form, and whenever. And it'll still be fun. And everyone in football will remember our (eventual) win;)
I Just read this in other thread:

And if this happen then toke is far away for anyone to give any competition so he will definitely have the first prize and for rest of the positions I think we will have a good fight until the end. Toke is like Liverpool in this season LOL

@examplens: I'm down for that, maybe ask all yellow hats and wooden spoons to do a random draw too, to pick the bonus winners. I know. Complicated. I think I've had one yellow hat, or was that last season? haha.

@cryptofrka: I actually have been reading a lot about the "degrowth movement" since last year and it's funny that this is happening now. Hard to summarise easily here but in degrowth, negative GDP isn't such a bad thing and it focuses on work that brings actual value to society. This is one good article about it: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/bj9yjq/the-radical-plan-to-save-the-planet-by-working-less

^  I was hopeful..  But seeing the stats, it looks like a BTC bull chart from 2017.  And it doesn't look like it'll slow down in a couple of months.  It's just getting started.

Even if that's true, people will simply have to get back to work one way or the other. They might keep us in homes after working hours, but we cannot stop economy for 6 months.

I think football as a huge business will continue as well. Behind closed doors maybe, yes, in June - August period - maybe, but I'm still certain the season will finish.

I'm okay with awarding the top 5 right now, but I see no harm in waiting to see the final decision from the English FA.

And hm, I don't think that fight is happening either. @toke the more degen route would be to live stream a low-edge dice game on a site everyone agrees is good and bet all in. If we win, we do as you say. If we lose, we look like idiots;)

let's reward the last yellow hat winner. that might be fair Roll Eyes

I not agree with this as I never have any yellow in my first season  Cheesy Roll Eyes

We’re more likely to finish the season than not. Let’s give it time, if the season gets cancelled pay out the top 5. If it doesn’t then we finish the season.

^  Oooo that's uber degen.  Let's stick with plain old normal degen..  Where we could at least have a better probability to win some monies.  And I guess it'll get everybody at the pool together too.

^  Too old meaning..?  Ferguson is still in his prime judging from his performances and hasn't shown to be declining.  Khabib vs him could be closer to a coin flip than what the bookies priced it imho.

I’d love to see Khabib defeated but you know what he’s like with his boring, predictable style. He grinds his opponent down & then makes them tap out.

I don’t know how anybody beats him, you have to attack him & go for a KO.

April 30th is supposed to be when we could resume but I think it’ll be longer than that. Obviously as a big Liverpool fan I’m desperate for the season to restart. I think possibly late May we could restart.
There is no way how season can resume om April 30th. Just look at things in China. They had to start in February, but now they are planning to start on April 18th. It's 2.5 month. So, end of May or start of June is most optimistic scenario IMO. But cosidering how pandemy spreads in Europe when Italy and Spain already surpassed China by number of deaths. So, things doesn't looks good now..
You are right its really matter of concern as many countries in worst situation against this and until now we have no good news from any way even now in USA its spreading very quickly I am feeling this is not going to happen in April may be we have some chances in early days of June.

I really don't think it will be anytime soon. Certainly not next month or the month after or even the month after that. I think we'll be lucky if they even get to play the games this year to be honest.

But again...  I'd accept for the season's pool to be scratched if the EPL scratches the season and there's no winner.  Pretty sure LFC would call a war against it too.

If the current top five agrees to scrapping this tournament (assuming it doesn't get going any time soon) we could put all the prize money into the pot for next season. I would probably only do this though if all the top 5 were okay with it. If this season doesn't get finished though I dread to think when the new league would start. Could be a long time before that happens if things get worse which I'm sure it will before it gets better. I'm not expecting anything catastrophic but enough to scare the gov into not allowing things to go ahead until the coast is well and truly clear but there's no end in sight for that.

Still a no for me...  I propose a degen route:  Let's bet the whole pot in the biggest show in sporting events right now.  UFC 249.  We gamble on Tony Ferguson.  He's around 3.5ish (but highly underestimated for this match) the last time I looked.  We get the price money for the top 5, we return everybody's reg. fee and the rest goes to the pot for the next pool...  or nothing.

With me, say aye!



Whilst it's sure to be a great fight I think Ferguson is too old to trouble Khabib really and I also doubt the UFC 249 will go ahead either:

If the season ends then our pool table should be paid out as it is imo. Crown tokeweed the winner & pay out the prizes.

To be honest though I think European leagues will finish, we just need to be patient.

The person with the most near guessing date get’s the pot ha? Smiley
Toke will be the one who will say against it and will call a war against it 🤪
Jokes aside, I do not think we will have no more matches for this season but unlikely if it happens then I will prefer the current leaderbaord as final since we can not do much.

Lol.  It's unfair.  And I'm not saying that cos I'm leading the pool.  But again...  I'd accept for the season's pool to be scratched if the EPL scratches the season and there's no winner.  Pretty sure LFC would call a war against it too.

Me and Klopp will fight it together.  Lolol.  Grin
