    Real Madrid in quarantine. La Liga suspended for at least 14 days (no behind closed doors games). Man City game will almost certainly be postponed.

    Europa: Milan-Getafe & Sevilla-Roma postponed. Why they can't just suspend such a Mickey Mouse tournament is beyond me.

    We are gradually moving towards top-level football stopping completely.

        He'll hook it wide given his current form.

          What’s the Spanish for ‘please deliver thirty-six bog rolls and leave them in the hallway’?

          Unlikely Gareth will know.

                  UEFA holding a video conference on Tuesday to decide on the European competitions and Euros. Press release also mentions "all domestic football", which could get interesting.

                          League of Ireland closed for a minimum of two weeks, this is going to be hard for a lot of clubs if it goes on for long.

                            Arteta confirmed to have coronavirus.

                            Arsenal: “Arsenal personnel who had recent close contact with Mikel will now self-isolate in line with Government health guidelines. We expect this to be a significant number of people from Colney, including the full first-team squad and coaching staff, as well as a smaller number of people from our Hale End Academy which we have also temporarily closed as a precaution...

                            It is clear we will not be able to play some fixtures on their currently scheduled dates.”

                              Premier League statement: “In light of Arsenal’s announcement confirming that first-team coach Mikel Arteta has tested positive for COVID-19, the Premier League will convene an emergency club meeting tomorrow morning regarding future fixtures.”

                                Welcome back, Rumpus.

                                Arsenal's first positive result this season, a wag comments.

                                    Thanks NS. My attendance is likely to remain patchy.

                                    Brighton v Arsenal is now postponed. Given that this was announced soon after the news on Arteta it suggests the decision was presented to the Premier League by the two clubs.

                                      It seems less likely the Premier League will be able to play games in front of empty stands.

                                        Will be difficult if entire squads are self isolating yes.

                                        "If there's contact he's going to go down... with coronavirus."

                                          Just suspend football, ffs.

                                          How crazy do things have to get before somebody starts to see sense here?

                                            Everton's first team squad and coaching staff now in isolation (no ulterior motive there, I'm sure)

                                              Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 the latest European leagues to be suspended.

                                                Suspending the league surely is not possible, given the stupid money TV is paying for games. Though if it must be suspended, the answer may be a mini-league play-off system in May (and June, if the Euros are postponed) for championship, CL, EL and relegation and promotion positions, with appropriate handicaps based on points won at time of suspension.

                                                  The Champions League and Europa League have been postponed, just announced.

                                                    Just one more game. If we're going to have a protracted period without football, I think we all want to have that memory of Spurs vs Man utd to keep us warm.
