He's out of Leicester, right? Fucking dirty Arab.

Of the City players in their 20s not selected for duty (and thus not travelling/away from home) we have:
Mendy
Stones
Laporte
Did it say first team player? Could be a reserve or a player out on loan, I suppose.
Phillipe Sandler and Zack Steffen are the no name 20s chumps in the first team squad.
It's going to be one of them isn't it?
Most of these stories with the headline "PREMIER LEAGUE STAR" are about some youth mong at a no-mark club who's come off the bench a handful of times.
It seems to be someone relatively well known.
Well that's Pellistri out the running.
Benjamin Mendy it is then.
Congrats whoever had him in the sweepstake, please PM Bamster for your prize.
Presumably a lapse in concentration allowed the victim to escape.
I've no idea what the covid rules are now, but Salah might get away without missing any games if the requirement is still 7 day isolation and a negative test thereafter (as it was for positive cases earlier in the season) - whereas any of his 'contacts' will be stuffed for 14 days but I guess there aren't any of those who are overly relevant.
10 days I thought.
Phil Foden's in his 20s. Unlucky, Phil.
Yeah, I think I was reading the project restart rules:
Which have probably been beefed up seeing as they were written when case numbers were pretty low. I think PHE is now 10 days.Players are to be tested for Covid‑19 twice a week during a first stage of return, with a positive test requiring the player to isolate for seven days under Public Health England guidelines. PHE rules, however, also require that a “contact” of a known case should isolate, as someone would if they were living in the same house. That quarantine period should last for 14 days.

BBC and Amazon Prime will get games now until January. PPV SCRAPPED.
Liverpool - Leicester being moved to get Salah an extra day to fix his covid test result (if it was yesterday he might just make it).
I wonder if Fulham v Everton on BBC doing United v Liverpool numbers on Sky/BT will affect future decision making.
Of course it won't, that's why Sky never publish their numbers.
Free to air TV breathes gallons of life into any sport but the admins don't want that, they want cash right now.
It’s amazing to me that English Cricket saw the whole country give a shit about a test match for the first time since the 1900s and immediately put it behind a sky paywall never to be thing of by the public again.
Literally couldn’t name you a cricketer outside of Brian Lara and then Freddie Flintoff and Kevin Pieterson.
Every sport has done the same. Even football to some extent. No one watches the Champions League in this country.
The only sport I can think of that has outright resisted the dollar is touring cars, which enjoys a strong cult following as a result. On Sky it would be dead with everything else.
Sky Sports fucking loves Speedway, anytime I put it on at a random hour it seems there's some Speedway going on and it baffles me. As someone who has woken up at 4am in the morning to watch South Koreans play Starcraft 2 I'm not one to talk, but there's so much Speedway. Is it secretly the worlds most successful sport no-ones ever heard of?
I might have Trials down as a bigger no-name motorsport. I can name one Trials rider and that's only because of watching way too much Eurosport as a kid.
Dougie Lampkin (and the Spanish guy who was always runner up), I wonder what he's doing now.
Living on the Isle of Man which seems fitting.
Regarding the rapist. Surely they play for Chelsea and nearly thought about moving to Bayern?
Our Jack starting tonight according to Sky.
Be Gareth's scapegoat when they get fucked sideways.
Scotland with 8 lefties in the starting 11
It's madness isn't it? And yet 10 out of 10 in crucial penalty shoot-outs, so maybe the ghost of Chris Waddle's 1990 effort has finally moved on.
Robertson missing out due to cramp/tight hamstring? I reckon we could squeeze in another international break in December if they get their act together
Daniel James is a scumbag, but from the team that deliberately did Coleman then couldn’t expect much better. Morals of their manager.
Should be down to 9 now. McClean or someone does that and they’re gone.
Walker playing as one of the middle three at the back again.
There must be others, presumably countries surrounding the big leagues.
That's interesting. Is the implication there that everyone half decent gets picked up by a British team at a young enough age not to have made their international debut? In that case, I can't work out whether the national team should be a bit better or a lot worse.
Were you close to getting an equalizer in the end @Giggles? Could’ve done with your lot holding Wales tonight.
Our win in Bulgaria was nervy and came with a price as our captain will miss the Wales game due to a suspension and one of our starting strikers went off injured in the first half.
Possibly one of the most dominant England performances I've ever seen. Bizarre result.
Spare a thought for Belgium. Never going to see a generation like this again and the window has probably closed now that Eden Hazard is a fat fuck.
The window to do what? 2016 was a balls up losing to Wales, but third in the World Cup was reasonable in the non-shit side of the knockouts. Nobody actually thought they would win anything.
And they narrowly lost to the eventual winners. They've probably got the Euros and another big tournament run in them. If they lost to Japan it might've been a bigger setback.
Your formation's still a pile of wank, Gareth.
