Fans of West Ham United have been airing their hate for a suggestion on how to finish the remainder of the Premier League season.
As revealed on Tuesday, the Professional Footballers’ Association chief executive Gordon Taylor has suggested that halves of less than 45 minutes should be an idea if the league resumes play (per BBC). West Ham fans made their dislike for this idea clear (via @whufc_news).

So all results this season will be amended to say 80mins…. no I thought not…. another ridiculous rule change 3/4 of the way through the season

Hideous suggestion

Would you mind if the Premier League resumed with halves shorter than 45 minutes?Yes, it's a bad idea
No, seems okay to me

The suggestion came from Taylor as a way to ‘combat player fatigue’ due to clubs having to play so many games in a short space of time (per BBC).
However, after the chief executive of the PFA’s suggestion was relayed to West Ham supporters (via @whufc_news), fans could not help but continue to air their disapproval by ironically suggesting other ideas.
Why not make it 5 a Side so you can get 4 Games on 1 Pitch ?

First goal wins it, it’s a draw after 15 minutes…. ???????

They’re not even playing football at this point, settle the rest of the season with safe distancing golf

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from these West Ham supporters, they hate the suggestion that the Premier League may return to action with halves shorter than 45 minutes.
However, there seems little chance of the possibility as it was merely a suggestion from Taylor and the Premier League have stated that the idea is “not on the table” (per BBC).
