They only had one game left to play in Belgium so it was all but done. With 8 - 10 games to hi here there’s a lot still to play for.

So we would end up with 23 teams in the PL next season? that would be bedlam, imagine the fixture congestion, in what is likely to be a shorter season starting later with the Euro's next summer!!!! and who comes up as third place in the Championship as it's a play off from 6th to 3rd? same go's for CL places, who get's them? as they are? that would be cruel on Wolves, who are fighting too qualify.

I'd think 2 teams would get promoted and none relegated.

Maybe we would play just 1 game against each other club during next season. That would mean 21 games instead of the usual 38.

The Europa places would be decided from the current positions. Shame for Wolves, but that's what it would end up like, I think.

I suggested playing just the one game against each team for next season. It makes sense to have a reduced schedule to allow for the players to have some rest before they go off to the various International Tournaments.

I'd even scrap the congested Xmas / New Year schedule for this year (hoping this COVID19 has been nipped in the bud by then) to allow a proper winter break, at a proper time to allow everybody to enjoy the festivities with their families after such an horrific year.

Might be a good idea.

But we still don't know when next season will start.

If it's delayed until early november for example, then there's no time for a mid season break.

The players are having the summer break now. That's how I see it anyway.

So how would they work out the fixtures? random draw home/away like the FA Cup, or seeded? could be unfair on some teams who get get drawn away against the likes of Liverpool, City & Chelsea, imagine the conspiracy theories on the that !!! whether we are drawn at home or away against City could decide the league!!!
