    I've never understood this 'lol you post about the football club you support' like I've got to post about Burnley/Watford/QPR once for every 4 posts I make about Arsenal.

    Although I'm semi-surprised Marcelo doesn't want to press ahead anyway and just field the under 18's or something.

    He probably does as a matter of PRINCIPAL.

    In fairness, Arsenal did get to lay the smack down on the Leeds U12s last weekend.

    Does feel like the integrity of the competition is being somewhat undermined at the moment. Some teams playing every three days, some teams getting 2 weeks off, no real clarity about what the situation with covid is at any given club. I do think Klopp is on to something when he says teams should name the players that are unavailable. X first team and staff members always reeks of a few players and the dinner lady crew being unavailable.

    I don’t think you’re allowed to name them without the players permission by law

    Could just list all the ‘injured’ players, I’m sure we’d work it out.

    That's how we figured out ours and then Bruce confirmed them over time.

    Looks like another Spurs game is off. This time due to Palace cases.

    This season is a mess.

    The only option is to award all of Spurs affected games as 3-0 wins to their opponents.

    There will come a point where games have to be decided that way. Imagine supporting a club that gets relegated off the back of a Covid 3-0. Ouch.

    It’d stop teams using it as an excuse while one of their better players recovers from a knock or something too.

    All they're doing is creating fixture congestion for themselves down the line.

    They were doing the same before the last one that got cancelled. The Palace Journalists are saying it's off.





    Hopefully the Premier League just tell them to get on with it.

    If it comes down to using youth players then so be it. It's no different from Food Poisoning incidents or having loads of players out through injury. Just play the game.

    As niko said, the whole thing is a joke at the moment. Burnley have had their last three games called off because their opposition has cried covid.

    On the other hand my fantasy team would love the Spurs game to be called off so get grovelling Paddy.

    They are probably at the point with the Premier League at least that if they want to keep the show on the road they need to put players into bubbles. That’s the only way you are going to be able to plan on a game by game basis effectively.

    Or you play them in accordance with fitness. I.e. a player show positive but not symptomatic? Get on the bus.

    Sounds like Palace have tried to force the PL's hand by leaking the expectation that it would get cancelled but not got a bite. Lol.

    Thailand v Vietnam (2-0) second leg semi final underway. Should be a cracking game if you fancy watching some Asian stuff.

    Leeds v Villa on Tuesday is off but the Palace game goes ahead?

    It'd be nice if they clarified why certain games are being made to go and others not.

    Palace side is basically fine lol, not sure what they were playing at. Don't even have any 17 year old black kids with hyphenated surnames on the bench.

    The mid tier teams are just chancing their arm across the board as fixture congestion isn't really an issue for them in the second half of the season.

    If the team is fine why on Earth were there Journos calling it off yesterday?

    Still strange seeing Butland in that team too.

    These teams should have done what Arsenal have done and seemingly concentrated the COVID in one position. We've got 4 out, all of them right-backs.

    [The] Villa are the most inoffensive team in the league. What is there to even think about them either way?

    Yeah but he presses hard which for German managers is way more important than whatever Lukaku does.

    United Lukaku watches the 'keeper stroll out and claim that. Good for him.
