Premier League 20/21

[Milltown Row2]

Everton v man City called off tonight after 5 new positive covid tests in the city squad.

Everton should get the points ..
FFS these are highly paid professionals. They've no need to be putting themselves at risk

Games should be forfeited, or play your panel players...

This could end up going like this all year

In Scotland teams have to field no matter what. Too much money in PL to do that. The only thing is that the season won't be extended as the Euros are on in the summer so will have to end on time

Surely the panel players will all have to quarantine though?

They all share dressing rooms, gyms etc.

It's going to hit more teams anyway. It only takes one person to bring it in.

And what about the teams City just played?

Be interesting to see what will be done with the league cup Manchester Derby semi final next week.

In the earlier rounds Spurs got a bye when Leyton Orient forfeited over covid cases. With City involved a rescheduled date i bet will be given to them.

That's bull to be honest. They're still people with wife's/girlfriends/kids/brothers/sisters/ unless you expect them to live in some kind of bubble for the 10 months of the season and over Christmas.

The way you make it sound it's only people who are lazy or deliberately "putting themselves at risk" who get coronavirus. That's simply not true.

Course they do, but that's not the point, rugby agreed to forfeit games when unable to field, the money the pl has to test monitored track and trace is the best in the world..

They should only be with immediate family, brothers/sisters parents shouldn't be in contact in most places anyway

Twitter suggests the rule that led to the forfeiting of Orient game only applied to early rounds of competition. Either way it's another unwanted problem. Assuming it's off it'll leave City with 4 games to make up and Utd 2. Obviously the winner will have another fixture added to their schedule for the final. A long run in FA Cup and or Europe for either would make things very complicated....

Its simple really. Put two games 24 hours apart and make them play them with 2 different squads. Liverpool had to do it last year when the FA wouldn't budge, why should city be treated any different?

Chelsea have won 7 matches in the league so far against the teams placed 10th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 16th, 17th & 20th in the league. The only win recently was against West Ham and they were very lucky to win that too, they didn't play well.

He should be getting hammered in the media, with the squad he inherited and money he's spent he should be top of the league given how many points Liverpool have.

Few lads in here mad looking Lampard sacked. Definitely cost them money before

I think it's a fair enough observation that Frank has had an easy enough ride than say Ole but whether he deserves the sack I couldn't say....

I see Sheff Utd reporting Covid cases, I'm not sure if postponements are on the cards but it's not hard to see a situation where the Premier League could be in difficulties?

I don't get why there is so much disdain for him. There's much worse. I don't think he will see the season out mind you.

If he was French he'd be grand. Not doing a whole pile wrong for me. Not at the top of the league but the way the league is at the minute two wins in a row springs you into a title race.

Are yis deliberately missing the point?

Fulham/Spurs game tomorrow night in doubt now too..
