Prime Minister Boris Johnson addressed the nation on Sunday night indicating a very slight relaxation of the rules designed to reduced the spread of COVID-19.

Although the public are only allowed to play sports with members of their own household or while social distancing, there are now hopes that elite football in the country can return behind closed doors within the next month.

As soon as football restarts on the 1st of June, I will be unbearable. More than you can ever imagine. Everyone who wanted the season to be null and voided just so Liverpool don’t win the title will get it idc.

We’re winning the PL and there’s nothing you can do about it.

The French football league ended their Ligue 1 campaign without completing the final games but Germany’s Bundesliga is set to restart next week, however this now seems under threat from a series of recent developments.

These were the best of the latest jokes as coronavirus continues to thwart the culmination of the 2019/20 season:

Boris Johnson new message to the nation is Stay Alert? Mofo we ain’t defending a fucking corner in injury time. It’s a global pandemic that has hit the country.

Those most in favour of voiding the season appear to be fans of Everton and Manchester United. I wonder what the connection could be. Wracking my brain
