    It's extremely rare to be asked to sit down during an away game.

    I'm sure that United have some good players, but every one of them has been fucking dreadful here.

    C-ron will win this 1-0, and maybe Wolves will start their first ever shooting practice at training tomorrow.

    Nothing like a scenesy away win at a big ground by a smaller club. Those Wolves fans are loving life.

    About two years ago, yes.

    I'm not defending this, to be clear. It's been total turd.

    Varane has played like wank most of the season so good luck to him if he did.

    We're desperate for two actually good centre midfielders.

    I dont watch Man Utd too often but they played really shit. How long has FEC been back for? Last tme i saw him playing, it was in the nineties with Gary Pallilstar and Henning Berg and them.

    It was great to see him play. It's been a rotten time for him with injuries and actually played with more composure than Maguire.

    I thought he played pretty well, got slightly unlucky with the goal. The bigger defensive issue was down the flanks, Semedo and the Brazilian on the other side (or I presume he's Brazilian) were frolicking like newborn lambs, the full backs were completely exposed.

    Apparently multiple more COVID cases at Liverpool to the point the training ground has shut. Arsenal game is in doubt.

    Knowing the EFL though I reckon they'll say tough shit. Turn up with what you have.

    EDIT: Strong rumours we have no goalkeepers available for the game. James Milners time to shine once more.

    Yeah, that surprises me. They've always struck me as a decently run club of late so maybe they've got some problems?

    EDIT: Ah, they're majority shareholders. £100m could cover the share price to get a majority stake.

    Official postponement request is in. The EFL have never shown willingness to budge before so I expect this is a get fucked situation.

    Literally the only week in the calendar you probably wouldn't want called off [in normal circumstances] so I assume everyone must have covid, or, more likely, too many of the back-ups have it.

    I'm sure there must be some youth players they can be mandated to play.

    Well the reckoning is that there are currently no goalkeepers eligible to play. All training has been cancelled too.

    I'd suggest this also probably knocks the weekend game against Strawberry FC on the head as well.

    Yeah, I don't think they're limited by squad registrations like they would be in Europe or the Premier League.

    You wouldn't say 'oh, we have no fullbacks,' you would just stick whoever is available in there. Why would goalkeepers be any different? I am with phonics on this one. Play it or forfeit.

    The only reason they have two legs is for the sweet sweet tv money so a forfeit sounds like it might be somehow self-defeating. They'd have to scrap the next one as well in all likelihood. Also, have a bit of confidence in Mikel Arteta's Resurgent Arsenal.

    Anyway, if it's a goalkeeper thing, they have a day or so to sort out an EMERGENCY LOAN. Where's Andy Lonergan these days?

    'Specialist position', innit.

    Gets you all sorts of dispensation from things. Christ knows how many must be down with it, the U23s/U18s must have some available surely.

    Well, they'd probably be within their rights to point out that the first team don't seem to have been available for a league cup game for about 10 years.
