    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.

    Steffen was playing for the USA last night.

    Mendy or Sandler it is.

    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.

    Yeah, I think I was reading the project restart rules:

    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.
    Which have probably been beefed up seeing as they were written when case numbers were pretty low. I think PHE is now 10 days.

    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).

    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?

    We’re eventually going to lose our games the same way. They’ve already sold out some to sky.

    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.

    Daniel James is a scumbag, but from the team that deliberately did Coleman then couldn’t expect much better. Morals of their manager.

    Unpopular opinion but he's literally one of the best in Europe in that position.

    Of course, I'm not having it waved in my face tonight when it's 9-0 to Bobby's Boys

    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.

    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.

    You love an aftertime. If nobody thought they would do anything it's because they're managed by a bum. Could absolutely have won either of those tournaments. England are also managed by a bum but at least there's enough time to have a good few stabs at it.
