Given that Italy prevented some games going ahead last week, I'm beginning to think that if the virus spreads here, there may be a possibility that large crowd gathering be discouraged or prohibited. Could this lead to the possibility that conditions become so alarming that whole football season is declared void? Thoughts?

Think some games went ahead in Italy behind closed doors which is the other option to stop large gatherings of people....although you could say in our case the football being played stops a large gathering of people!

As it stands its a big jump from where we are now to the season being canned!!

I think that view is akin to mass hysteria rather than taking a measured appraisal of the situation

There would be plenty of Mancs willing to go coughing and spluttering down the East Lancs Road

Have the players in the Championship decided to self isolate? 7 games, 38 mins gone in the majority, and precisely no goals scored.

I’ll be ok, don’t you worry

In my cellar (bunker) I have stocked up on......

10,000 cans of soup
10,000 tins of beans
10,000 litres of water
5,000 packets of wet wipes
Chemical toilet
Wind-up flash lights
50 old Penthouse magazines

And a very powerful air rifle to shoot desperate survivors like you if you try to break in.

Anything else I should consider?
