Pickford practicing his karate moves all morning for nothing.

 

[DOMNOLAN]

Why doesn't this mean they forfeit the game?

 

[nikom court]

Oh well EastEnders it is then!

 

[COYBL25]

Why?

it is city who have the problem

Hang all the infected from lamp posts outside the ground .

 

[TheBigIguana]

Genuinely have no idea when City can make this up. They are astonishingly short on open dates in the schedule already and also have a game against Villa that is still TBC.

 

[Blunatic]

BS if they cant put a fit team on the pitch that's no our fault. Zero sympathy for them. . . . havin said that if they infected us id throw a wobbly

 

[catcherintherye]

Will not be forfeited, it will be played at a later date, The Spurs cup game was only forfeited as they did not have time to rearrange the game

Well why have we got time to re-arrange?

 

[Tramps_mate]

They've a MASSIVE squad. Shouldn't be allowed to cancel for 3 or 4 being out..

Unless they are isolating the whole lot of them..?

 

[kenada_blue]

City have had a massive outbreak, catch ya self

Talking staff and players though. Not happened at City.

 

[matty1878]

Be funny if they made them play - they still would probably have a top side out anyway but would make it more an even playing field.

Cant see it not being postponed though. Positive in it gives the lads a good 6 days rest before WHU although might mean no fans in GP when it is rearranged.

no fans? It’s City’s players mate

Pep La Guardia has well and truly been found out.

 

[bluenorthwarrior]

You would think there is a pre-agreed threshold number of positives in the registered squad of 25 before the season started or else it becomes subjective and certain clubs more influential with the PL.

Doubt there is though. Not a bad thing, even if we would potentially benefit from a weakened city the risk of covid coming into our depleted squad from a player who has not tested positive yet but is a carrier must be reasonably high.

 

[Aberblue]

With our injuries and the number of matches crammed into the last few days, it isn't the worst news. Also no fans will have travelled.

That's why we agreed.
