Mr Angry 1,511 Posted May 28, 2020 2 hours ago, king canary said: Why though? Has there been any increase in Germany?Ā This is happening- if players refuse to play that is up to them but at some point you have to work if you expect to get paid. Closer contact with more people over a greater length of time. I must admit I donāt know what has happened in Germany but how long would increased numbers of infections take to materialise? Employers have a duty of care to their employees so if players felt unsafe andĀ that they were being forced to play against their will I hope thatĀ the PFA would get involved.

Capt. Pants 4,089 Posted May 28, 2020 So long since I've bothered to look at the league table. Fascinating relegation battle from Brighton downwards. Southampton really is a must a win game otherwise our interest in this season could diminish pretty quickly if other results go against us. Hopefully we'll have a near full squad to choose from.
