Which in itself is utter madness considering that the majority of infections are coming from that age group and below,you as well not bother checking anyone if you don’t check the source

I am a little bit perplexed
Yeah it is all up to date. I have reset my preferences a couple of times to see if that sorted it. I started to get emails again early autumn time but nothing since probably late October.
Will see what happens but yes thank you , good idea if you can link it on here or will shout up if I don’t get one.

Wouldn’t surprise me if our game - and all games - are called off by the weekend
I think the EPL will want to get as many games as possible played. The African nations starting next month then the World Cup next season means there's not much wriggle room.
The more games they try to cram in in a short space of times means less recovery time for the players and usually more niggling injuries.
This Covid is really starting to piss me off now.

their 9 include covid and injuries (I think) - think they have most of their centrehalves injured (not covid related) so were keen to get the game off.
There should be a clear rule on what these matches get pulled for - not like the prem and FA to make it up as they go along

Sounds like formula 1 to me, where the sky 6 have a greater chance of influencing the decision

Brentford Manager saying the same thing on Sky. Saying some managers not being honest about the number of cases they have so as to take advantage.

Funny....I thought he was the one trying to take advantage calling for all games to be called off.

I’d absolutely expect that, this is top level sport worth a lot of money. I’ve seen this done at Sunday league let alone premier league
Let's be honest, the amount of covid case being felt at clubs are going to pale into insignificance compared to the amount of infections fans who are going to contract covid on the stands.

As i have said previous there should be a set number of Covid cases per first team squad to qualify for a cancellation. Some clubs who have a few injuries on the go will plead not enough players and get away with it. If its a set number it is then transparent and provable. Injuries are part and parcel of the game and should be excluded.

Well Deano was saying Norwich had about 8 people out against us, but also read somewhere only 1 of thise was actually a regular starter. It will be the go to excuse for many managers over the next month or two

Anyone with a few key injuries will be crying out for it. Pep crying about a injury ‘emergency’ a few weeks back, im sure with his players back and wanting to push on from a 7-0 win he’ll be a massive hypocrite soon enough.

Interesting that all our players out were subs. Sitting too close on the substitutes bench? During lockdown they spread them around more.

Problem may be that Boris has been slow in getting the under-18s vaxinated. Poor decision making all-round. Get everybody vaccinated except those with medical exceptions.
