Every team plays their game of the season against us. Nothing new.
Premier League Festive Season
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I’ve no issue with sport carrying on, it’s a business after all, another poster said a game should be postponed due to the positive cases and potential spreading, i was saying if we really wanted to stop spreading due to football we shouldn’t be playing at all, and the city game should go ahead with players who are available.
We have to fecking rip into Wolves tomorrow after that result. Chance of going second a day before Liverpool play away, even if it is only Newcastle.
Since you asked so politely, I will consult the crystal ball just for you.
That's a confirmed yes, the game will end 4-0 to United.
Always been taught if you want anything in this life say please and you're more likely to get it.
Yeah, it would massively undermine the legitimacy of the competition if the same didn't apply here. But I expect TV folk won't allow it.
Really looking forward to this Villa vs Chelsea game. It's nice to see Villa doing well again as I like them as a club, even if their fans are some of the mouthiest going.
Now, Tuesday's Euromillions please. PM me
Apparently it was already in the League Cup rules that after the 5th round, no byes could be given for Covid.
Already been posted.The rules state that. the rule changes for byes etc change after round 5.
Same here. Always thought he was a player who could step up a level
Had about 4 coaches since he signed. Must be wondering where his future is.Same here. Always thought he was a player who could step up a level
No probs, just was explaining how teams sports carry on. I agree if they’ve set a precedent with the Leyton Orient game then it should be the same but I’m not sure what the risks are. I would assume the other players can play but not 100% sure. Maybe need some to explain.
Victims is synonymous with the Hillsborough disaster. If that Villa fan doesn't know that, it doesn't excuse him one iota. No doubt he'll be doing airplane gestures at old Trafford soon enough 'without knowing why'.
On a similar high horse note, how many Utd fans want to continue using bin dippers as a nomenclature in light of Rashford's background and now MBE? Your very own ex bin dipper would love that.
There were quite a few on here wanting us to sign him at some point.
It wasn't a precedent, it was the rule up to round 5 where there'd be no byes and a postponement would be allowed thereafter
Why up to round 5 though, should be the same for the whole competition I think, can only assume it’s due to knowing the bigger teams would be in the later stages and didn’t fancy having to kick one out because of it.
Ah fair. I guess if its been set our already then fair enough.
Anything on when the game can be replayed up until if City still can't field a team, or do they have to play the youth? *Pep shudders *
Ah right thanks, wasn’t sure why it was different.
I have no idea. Probably due to the fewer number of matches by then. It would compromise the integrity of the competition if we or anyone else be granted a bye into the final
I can understand them calling off the game today as they may want to test all their players and staff again. But there really is no question of their games against Chelsea and us being called off. Even if they have 10 players out due to Covid, it's no different a situation than having 10 players out injured. This is precisely why clubs have squads, so it's time to use them.
Integrity to me is having the same rules throughout the competition, ah well, we’ll just have to beat them which will be sweater.
Bit different when their training ground is closed
Surely a team with their options can easily train elsewhere, just do it in the stadium perhaps.
I would bet my house that Traore scores against us today.
I hate playing against ex-players, regardless of their quality.

The rules were in place before the competition started. What you're alluding to is a hard and fast adherence to one rule all the way through which is a totally different thing.
They are absolutely adhering to the rules and showing integrity.
If Spurs couldn't have fulfilled their game then Orient would have gone through.
How does it feel seeing Terry back?
He's just a coach there so fine. If he was giving it the Jose "shh" or knee slide it would be a bit awkward.
They can thoroughly sanitize and disinfect their training ground tonight or tomorrow, can't they?
Not really. They’ll be tested and then those with negative tests will train elsewhere. There is no chance our game will be off. You need to have under 14 players available including the U23 squad.
My work did it overnight and we are have a lot less dosh than Man City!
Didn’t know hamstring strains were contagious.
Targett, Grealish and McGinn a YC away from missing the game against us. Book'em all ref!
I’m saying that the rule is crap and they should change it so it’s the same for each round.
If it’s the rule it’s the rule so it needs to be followed, but I don’t agree with the rule.
Mata, the most lovable of them all, has never scored against you
Precisely!! It's not a unique undertaking in the present environment.
The NFL has far fewer games and can extend if necessary being only 4 months long. The PL has a finite amount of time with the Euros in the summer and the other competitions that teams play in.
Sure.
4-0 United was the response.
I know, I know. I'm beginning to question her legitimacy too.
Really? That dude? Who can't hit a barn door from 5 yards out and is going through a good patch?
This isn't an "annual flu strain" though and the "reality of billions of people forced out of work" is an outright lie.
Take this stuff to the CE and actually back up these claims.
