Viime viikonlopun kynnyksellä myös Englannin Valioliiga laittoi muiden maiden liigojen tapaan toistaiseksi sarjapelit tauolle maailmanlaajuisen koronapandemian vuoksi. Erinomaisesta ja oivaltavasta huumorintajustaan tunnetut britit eivät kuitenkaan ole suostuneet antamaan depressiolle ja alakulolle yliotetta, vaan sosiaalinen media onkin viime päivinä kukkinut toinen toistaan hauskemmista ja ironisimmista julkaisuista.

Message just received (and I’m still laughing) – If the league is cancelled we could have the best banner ever…. COVID19 – SCOUSERS 18

Myös Juventus-tähti Cristiano Ronaldoa keksittiin sivaltaa hulvattomasti:

Soon we’ll be debating the best Corona-XIs. Already got some decent profiles with Rugani, Gabbiadini, and Hudson-Odoi. Arteta as manager.
