And that's not even the correct table:

You can see from that table and on current form that Oxford would have an axe to grind if they weren't promoted.

Nice circular reasoning. You think LFC fans only care about themselves, therefore if they are talking about something you assume it's because they think it's about themselves.

Yet again: we all know we're getting the PL so nothing we discuss is influenced by that. It's over.

As for whatever league Coventry are in, the table that was posted is interestingly close, but sport is usually decided on close outcomes anyway. If it's not possible to play games then IMO just follow the standard procecure as closely as possible (yes it's not perfect, but it's a crisis so get over it); PPG to determine the positions (automatic promotion and relegation), for the playoff positions generate the fixtures as usual and use the head to head results to find who goes through.

No one can ever argue that a solution that simply ignores 34 game weeks has any sporting integrity.

It's League One btw @astro.

However they did it would be unfair but if three teams go up surely it has to be Wycombe over Oxford.

Agreed. Even an average home and away PPG method, is unfair as it comes down to which teams you have yet to play. With a quarter of the league left to play there is a good chance that one of those teams in the Top 8 has a greater number of games against teams near the bottom of the table and could rise up the table significantly.

The Peterborough chairman, quite rightly given their run-in and home record, is threatening legal action.

The PL will be scrapped absolutely. The security resources required for all of these remaining games will put too much strain on the services if we pull an entire month out of the calendar.

Liverpool fans should prepare themselves for a massive kick in the bollocks here, and the rest of us will have to like it or lump it for CL places etc. The fact is that lives are more important than trophies and stats about how many duals Jordan Henderson won against Bournemouth.

Personally I think they will finish the season, even if it is behind close doors .. PPG is flawed because it doesn't necessarily reflect current form and form is what will get the remaining points ... for instance, given Liverpool's, you could argue that the bottle has gone and they might struggle to get over the line ... personally I think they might just scrape enough draws to get there ... but Asstro's record points total is looking more and more like a pipe dream <ok>
