Marriapa own goal 1-1
Sheffield United game is going ahead no decision on city's game yet
ThanksThere is an inspection at city at the moment, loads of trains cancelled from London so far
Exactly what I was thinking.It is Manchester United's fault, they left the city and this happens!
met office forecast is for winds to stay like this for the rest of the day and well in to Monday.Weather is pretty bad here in Manchester, rain combined with 40-50mph winds. By 4:30 it should ease off so I think they could still play. A delayed kickoff of an hour could really help if the weather prediction is correct as this crazy wind should be gone and it'll be just light medium rain.
As I type though, the rain just hit the heavy stage and winds ramped up 60mph maybe. If an inspection was going on right now, probably call it off.
Looks like it. They are pretty tough there and would still play if there was fire and brimstone.The Sheff game going ahead?
Hope soLooks like it. They are pretty tough there and would still play if there was fire and brimstone.
Bournemouth fans would have been travelling since early hours, probably all on route so there’s no benefit to calling it off I’d imagine if the pitch itself is deemed playable.Bit weird that the City game is postponed and the Sheffield Utd game isn't. I'm not in Sheffield but the weather around where I am is horrific.
BBC say the wind goes down to 20mph at about 5pm and is like that for the next 48 hours.met office forecast is for winds to stay like this for the rest of the day and well in to Monday.
Apparently so, surprised though as it's really bad at the minute here.The Sheff game going ahead?
Kick-off in less than two hours so they would have postponed by now.Apparently so, surprised though as it's really bad at the minute here.
Also by the time City play again the lead could very well be 25 points. 25 points in Feb.Let Klopp play in this. He complained before, but this is the real stuff.
Lucky bastard got a break now.
VAR, weather, schedules. Everything going their way this season.
Now they are off to some sunny beach as well.
Well here in south east Manchester it's gone to quite calm weather now, very little wind and light rain. Of course it could return but if Sheffield is anything like here then the game will go ahead. City inspection happened at the worst possible time.Considering Sheffield is 50 kilometers away from Manchester I wouldn't be surprised if the game gets postponed in an hour or so.
Yeah it is already over anyway. Doesn't matter if this game is moved played in crazy weather or not.Also by the time City play again the lead could very well be 25 points. 25 points in Feb.
The blades want those points.13:11
Team news - home debut for Berge
Sheff Utd v Bournemouth (14:00 GMT)
Michael Emons
BBC Sport at Bramall Lane
The good news is it has stopped raining and it’s game on.
The team news is quite routine as Sheffield United name an unchanged side from the team that started the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace last weekend, meaning a home debut for £22m record signing Sander Berge.
David McGoldrick is on the bench after a spell out, while fellow forward Panagiotis Retsos, a transfer deadline day signing, is also on the bench.
Nah it's still really bad here.Well here in south east Manchester it's gone to quite calm weather now, very little wind and light rain. Of course it could return but if Sheffield is anything like here then the game will go ahead. City inspection happened at the worst possible time.
The weather could be quite different across the pennines as the topography is quite varied.
Actually has stopped raining, occasional gust, probably ranging from 5-15mph. The main factor now is how water logged the pitch is if it's gone calm over there too.
