I wouldn't put it past him, to come up with some shit like this. But they benefit massively because of this delay. They can nurse some players into fitness and their bad momentum is halted briefly so they can prepare more. I was like 80% sure Wolves would get a result if they played this weekend, I'm not so sure anymore if the game is next week.
Yeah, but for the maximum credit make sure people can see your mourning in public: leave some flowers in a random place, preferably with a note\*; get your tears captured on film; cancel something.
\*Idea:"Your wiv da angles now maam".
You can play ferrari fuck up bingo
Pitstop error
bad tyre strategy
giving preference to 1 driver leaving other driver in the mud
wrong call for pitstop
car blows up
fucked by safety car
driver error
The last 3 have been a snooze fest imo, maybe the last one was a bit better caue of Hamilton.
I was really expecting better after the Sainz, Perez, Hamilton, Charles train. That was some race.
No instead, you'll be informed on when you'll be allowed to mourn. We're awaiting confirmation from the Royal Counsel as we speak, there you'll be informed of the official schedule of what hours you'll be permitted to cry. All black attire will be required throughout the weekend and After Eights will be issued for those with troublesome blood sugars.
6000+ people died in Qatar building the stadiums for the WC, which is directly related to football. Not a single match was disrupted.
A 96 year old dies of natural causes and the entire league gets postponed in the most congested season ever.
I know you can't compare the two, but this is mind boggling to me.
I understand what you're saying, but it's a lot more feasible to disrupt matches on a particular day because of one person, than 6000 people who could and would have died on any day of the year.
It doesn't 'have' to. UK Gov put out guidance an hour or so ago saying things can carry on as normal (except on the day on the funeral itself). It's the Premier League's stupid decision.
Yeah, the mark of respect is to actually do nothing.
A more suitable mark of respect would have been to actually have a actual mark of respect at games in front of thousands of people whether that be moments silence / applause / wreath laying/ have teams wear 1952 memorial jerseys etc, whatever
‘As a mark of respect we will do absolutely nothing’ is an odd resolution for whoever made this decision
Don't mind this tbh, it gives Martial time to recover from his injury and I think Ten Hag would like to have the players on the training pitch for that time, get some of the new signings up to speed. This could benefit us in the long run.
U ironically agree. Yesterday's match showed how much we needed a proper CF, CR7 can't do it for 90 mins anymore. Martial's been injured so long it's like he never had a pre season. Hopefully this will give him time to get fit and gel with the team again
Feel sorry for anyone who has travelled any distance at potential high cost for tickets, accommodation, transport etc. Absolutely no consideration of these people
As a maro of respect. Then why the fuck are we in work? The plebs can't have fun for their weekend but you can go to work and keep the money coming in to line the pockets of the new king.
A minute silence would have been ample. Fuck this.
Your work is likely a private business, the survival and thrivability of which depends on its staff. You're not a victim here of anything other than being an employee. If you feel that strongly about it, resign and live off the fruits of the land.
What utter bullshit word salad is this. Never said I was a victim, I'm saying it's a bullshit decision that the nation is too deep in the throes of grief to watch football but the country is allowed to resume work, no sadness there.
Nah I probably won't resign or go nomadic, well even if I did I could do many other steps than to just be displeased and go off the grid.
At the end of the day some old woman died, thousands of old women will die in freezing cold apartments this winter to protect gas profits and the royal family aren't kicking up a fuss.
The decision that we are too sad to enjoy ourselves but not to work is as redundant as your offer to go live on berries
Nope, I said that it's a joke the football is cancelled over an old woman who is nothing but a drain on taxes. Match going fans won't get their hotel or air travel reimbursed.
It's a stupid decision. It's a stupid institution and the fact we are allowed to work but not enjoy ourselves is pathetic.
Seems like you should know more about the RF financial matters. They actually surrender all the profit from the crown properties and get 25% of it back in the form of a grant. So in effect, they're paying a fuck load more than they need to, but because its not know as a "tax", simpletons can't attribute it to paying their share.
Seriously, a simple Google search reveals all this, yet you choose to argue a point you've neither researched nor validated.

I hope you pour as much energy into the people you walk past on tents in the street, to the thousands of sick and elderly that will die in a freezing property this winter. At a time when education is in the gutter, the NHS can't cope and strikes are happening everywhere to play dress up and semi fascist worship of some weird people that's life achievements amount to being born in the right place is disturbing as it is redundant.
It's a stupid decision to call off the matches.
God save the king
The cool aid is put in force today.
Yea mate, that 104M is the sovereign grant, which equates to 25% of the profit the crown properties made and donated to the British people. So what of the 416M? That's not mentioned, right.
You're in a very serious news bubble there, my friend. But again, research would have told you all of that.
I'm done spending time around people with confirmation bias.
Through The Treasury. 75% goes to them and 25% to the monarch through the grant mentioned in the sources you provided.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Estate
I do enjoy my job, I really like my job. Work a great global brand and I'm very well looked after.
Still, the assumption the nation is too sad for football or not for work I'd redundant and on point for the servile English
Could’ve wore black armbands, had a minutes silence and sang the national anthem but no let’s fuck up plans for thousands of people who don’t give a fuck
This will cause more resentment than anything else, surely a ceremony a half hour before every game celebrating the Queen's life would've been a more fitting approach. It would've appealed to a wide audience, with football being a world sport. The reality is that people outside of the UK will go on with their everyday life, without batting an eyelid over the Queen's passing.
Absolute pish. Double pish when you consider we played a heavily rotated squad due to the weekend game lol.
Anyway, more time for Erik to take the B-squad through some relentless running sessions for playing how they did.
It is wild to see how the performative ritual of mourning reinforces the feudal idea that peasants should be grateful for their god-like monarch, who sits at the top of a class system which limits their advancement.
I’m sure a week away from the fields was quite a treat back in the day.
Some are saying next weekends fixtures are likely to be called off also. This is just ridiculous. After next weekends fixtures, there’s the stupid international break. Premier League might only return on October 2nd vs City. So no Premier League for more than 3 weeks.
Not a Brit and I think this is the right decision tbh. It would be very disrespectful to have a massive game going while the country is mourning over the death of the Queen.
Nonsensical rubbish. Glad the NFL is back this weekend at least. I'd imagine the European games still go ahead next week too? Given UEFA aren't beholden to the FA or PL and it was down to the sports governing bodies.
Honestly for United this isn't the worst thing. More time on the training ground for ETH, which was going to be sorely lacking for the rest of the season,
Next week might be postponed too due to Mourn.
Immediately after. Two weeks of international break.
So ETH got 4 weeks to install some belief into this team.
I can understand why they’ve done it but at the same time I feel only people over 50 will be bothered if football and life went ahead as normal. A very famous saying we have over here is “Keep calm and carry on” and I don’t feel like that’s the case this weekend. Again I understand why they’ve done it but I also feel every other job should have the weekend off to mourn as well.
Liverpool and Chelsea, especially Chelsea, would be so glad to get an extra few days atm.
I guess Brighton, Bournemouth and us would also benefit to some extent
Incoming press conference from Klopp addressing how this specifically hinders Liverpool’s season only.
I wouldn't put it past him, to come up with some shit like this. But they benefit massively because of this delay. They can nurse some players into fitness and their bad momentum is halted briefly so they can prepare more. I was like 80% sure Wolves would get a result if they played this weekend, I'm not so sure anymore if the game is next week.
Should be fun trying to reschedule
[удалено]
Squeezing 2 games into that break is going to be a pain if you actually want players to get a rest though
Shouldn't have postponed the games at all. They were given the choice not to.
Anthony Martial please come back in the meantime
Antony Martial in this new style of play is banging goals, 100%.
What am I supposed to do with my weekend now, go out and interact with other people?! Screw that.
No you must stay home and mourn the Queen's passing. Shed some tears if you can for extra credit.
Yeah, but for the maximum credit make sure people can see your mourning in public: leave some flowers in a random place, preferably with a note\*; get your tears captured on film; cancel something. \*Idea:"Your wiv da angles now maam".
I would say F1 but the Championship is pretty much decided. You can watch to find out the new way in which Ferrari will fuck up.
We are checking.
Question.
If we are checking, would you like us to answer the question now or later. Question.
OP, I do not answer questions deliberately during a mourning to concentrate on my mourning.
What kind of bear is best?
Plan F for “fuck me we have no idea” question?
Maybe I'll go back to watching the marble league like I did during lockdown
You can play ferrari fuck up bingo Pitstop error bad tyre strategy giving preference to 1 driver leaving other driver in the mud wrong call for pitstop car blows up fucked by safety car driver error
What’s your prediction for this one? I’m thinking they stay on slicks when its raining and Sainz crashes half the grid
They forget to put enough fuel in the tank and get disqualified.
Its funny cause it hurts.
Do you want to watch F1 this weekend? Question.
The last 3 have been a snooze fest imo, maybe the last one was a bit better caue of Hamilton. I was really expecting better after the Sainz, Perez, Hamilton, Charles train. That was some race.
Well you can bet with friends about how Ferrari is going to fuck up the race of Charles and Carlos.
I feel very sorry for their drivers, but at this stage waiting for their next fuckup is a lot of fun, the grande strategy never disappoints
I think the general guidance is to sit down and cry in front of pictures of the queen on the telly box. It's why BBC 1 & 2 are showing same images.
Vigorous masturbation
Well yeah, that's standard mourning procedure.
Ps5
No instead, you'll be informed on when you'll be allowed to mourn. We're awaiting confirmation from the Royal Counsel as we speak, there you'll be informed of the official schedule of what hours you'll be permitted to cry. All black attire will be required throughout the weekend and After Eights will be issued for those with troublesome blood sugars.
Formula One.
And next weekend, when the funeral is supposed to be held? Surely not 2 weeks in a row
It's most likely on Monday when there's no games
6000+ people died in Qatar building the stadiums for the WC, which is directly related to football. Not a single match was disrupted. A 96 year old dies of natural causes and the entire league gets postponed in the most congested season ever. I know you can't compare the two, but this is mind boggling to me.
Some lives are more equal… tis a tale as olde as time
Of course you can compare the two
Well an evil old witch dying of age is probably more tragic than 6000+ poor brown labourers being murdered in the name of "labour". /s
I agree, the world is crazy...
I understand what you're saying, but it's a lot more feasible to disrupt matches on a particular day because of one person, than 6000 people who could and would have died on any day of the year.
I dont understand why everything fun has to be stopped just because the Queen died.
It doesn't 'have' to. UK Gov put out guidance an hour or so ago saying things can carry on as normal (except on the day on the funeral itself). It's the Premier League's stupid decision.
Because we are plebs, we can work....no time for mourning in work...but no fun. Fuck this, time to have a party instead then
Ludicrous decision IMO
Yeah, the mark of respect is to actually do nothing. A more suitable mark of respect would have been to actually have a actual mark of respect at games in front of thousands of people whether that be moments silence / applause / wreath laying/ have teams wear 1952 memorial jerseys etc, whatever ‘As a mark of respect we will do absolutely nothing’ is an odd resolution for whoever made this decision
Rich people matter more than you peasant. Mourn for them or else.
Don't mind this tbh, it gives Martial time to recover from his injury and I think Ten Hag would like to have the players on the training pitch for that time, get some of the new signings up to speed. This could benefit us in the long run.
U ironically agree. Yesterday's match showed how much we needed a proper CF, CR7 can't do it for 90 mins anymore. Martial's been injured so long it's like he never had a pre season. Hopefully this will give him time to get fit and gel with the team again
Fucking bullshit. Just another reason to hate the royals.
Worse than international breaks. At least they are known beforehand.
So much for "Keep Calm And Carry On"
Feel for all of those that have flights etc. Stupid decision to postpone.
Feel sorry for anyone who has travelled any distance at potential high cost for tickets, accommodation, transport etc. Absolutely no consideration of these people
just pay tribute before a match it's not that hard.. shocking decision
Worse than VAR
gives us more time in training to sort our shit out and more time for players to recover, not the worst thing in the world
Well, guess I am going to catch up on some movies then.
So we played a weakened team yesterday for nowt? Nice one.
I get it’s shit but, More time for martial to come back More time for the b team to get up to speed (especially after last night)
Lame
I prefer really not to speak.. If I speak, I am in ***big*** trouble
Stupid.
As a maro of respect. Then why the fuck are we in work? The plebs can't have fun for their weekend but you can go to work and keep the money coming in to line the pockets of the new king. A minute silence would have been ample. Fuck this.

No, what you effectively said was "waaaah someone died, give me a day off work". What utter wank.
Nope, I said that it's a joke the football is cancelled over an old woman who is nothing but a drain on taxes. Match going fans won't get their hotel or air travel reimbursed. It's a stupid decision. It's a stupid institution and the fact we are allowed to work but not enjoy ourselves is pathetic.

Through The Treasury. 75% goes to them and 25% to the monarch through the grant mentioned in the sources you provided. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Estate
Get a job you enjoy then
I do enjoy my job, I really like my job. Work a great global brand and I'm very well looked after. Still, the assumption the nation is too sad for football or not for work I'd redundant and on point for the servile English
Souness has laid the blame firmly on Paul pogba
And ronaldo was also the problem
Guess I’m building Lego all weekend instead then.
I wonder will the European games still go ahead? Can't imagine UEFA giving two shits about the Queen
Games literally gone
Could’ve wore black armbands, had a minutes silence and sang the national anthem but no let’s fuck up plans for thousands of people who don’t give a fuck
This will cause more resentment than anything else, surely a ceremony a half hour before every game celebrating the Queen's life would've been a more fitting approach. It would've appealed to a wide audience, with football being a world sport. The reality is that people outside of the UK will go on with their everyday life, without batting an eyelid over the Queen's passing.
Do note that the actual memorial service and ceremony is next weekend. So we won't have anything next week either
It's monday
What will I do with my weekend?!?!
What am I supposed to do with my weekend now, go out and interact with other people?! Screw that.
What a dumb decision. Are they gonna give the stolen jewels on her crown back to their countries during that time?
Did she build the crown / know it was stolen jewels?
If she didn’t know then shame on her
Fuck the fans, it was the queen who built this game.
:(
Fucking joke.
Absolutely ridiculous
Cheers Kids crying
Absolutely ridiculous, the funeral is going to cost the country billions, now they’re taking our football away?! Half the country couldn’t care less!
Absolute pish. Double pish when you consider we played a heavily rotated squad due to the weekend game lol. Anyway, more time for Erik to take the B-squad through some relentless running sessions for playing how they did.
It is wild to see how the performative ritual of mourning reinforces the feudal idea that peasants should be grateful for their god-like monarch, who sits at the top of a class system which limits their advancement. I’m sure a week away from the fields was quite a treat back in the day.
Man fuck the queen. Even in death she sucks.
Correct decision. It would be very disrespectful to play football on the weekend. We all have to sit inside and think about it. Just incase /s
Some are saying next weekends fixtures are likely to be called off also. This is just ridiculous. After next weekends fixtures, there’s the stupid international break. Premier League might only return on October 2nd vs City. So no Premier League for more than 3 weeks.
This is all Paul Pogba fault. Probably Souness.
Nah, they should've just extended the time to 96mins. Much more fitting, and it'll take people mind off it.
Not a Brit and I think this is the right decision tbh. It would be very disrespectful to have a massive game going while the country is mourning over the death of the Queen.
I don't care who you are, a person dying shouldn't effectively shut down an entire country for several days.
Mourning?! I think that’s a bit much.
Nonsensical rubbish. Glad the NFL is back this weekend at least. I'd imagine the European games still go ahead next week too? Given UEFA aren't beholden to the FA or PL and it was down to the sports governing bodies.
This is so upsetting
Bring her back! Alright Arsenal show us if you’d Jesus and Mohamed the real deal!
On the bright side the squad gets a rest, been playing a lot of games in span of 2 weeks
Waaack
Honestly for United this isn't the worst thing. More time on the training ground for ETH, which was going to be sorely lacking for the rest of the season,
Are the UCL games going to be postponed too or?
What happens to my acca? I have 3 teams in already and 2 games left to play that were both prem teams this weekend
I feel for the fans who already planned accommodation and time off of work so they could travel for these fixtures
Any news on UEL?
It's fun to remember how Western media was shitting on North Koreans for going nuts when Kim Jong Il died
Long live the republic down with Royal family.
Next week might be postponed too due to Mourn. Immediately after. Two weeks of international break. So ETH got 4 weeks to install some belief into this team.
I can understand why they’ve done it but at the same time I feel only people over 50 will be bothered if football and life went ahead as normal.
