Of course.

What a horrible, horrible sport this has become.

Well I certainly hope we didn't refuse it. We're not Kopites.

Yeah we're not winners, you're absolutely right.

Would make him unlikely to do it again, no?

And thanks for that completely useless article about Greenwood and Foden.

Of course.

Astonishing.

Boooooooooo

Of course.

What a horrible, horrible sport this has become.

Ridiculous that

Man City are due to play Man Utd in the league cup semi on 6th Jan.

If they're rife with Covid, surely Man Utd will get the bye in that competition then? Like Spurs did with L.Orient?

If the final isn't till April, they're might be time to rearrange the match...

That said, with their now obvious fixture pile up, City may agree to a forfeit

 

[blue to the bone]

They still got enough against a team like Palace with zero goals in their last 2 games whilst conceding 10..... Couldnt even break down a 10 man Villa, conceding twice since they had Mings sent off.

Ahem.
Its not easy in this league win any game missing players or resting them

 

[everton1953]

They should award us the result 3-0 and move on. Seriously I bet Carlo is delighted. More time to rest players. I don't have Prime either.

If he was a human being, yes

Unfortunately, he's a Premier League footballer

And why is the Foden article useless? Just shows that a general disregard for guidelines around Covid runs right through that squad

 

[RomanReigns]

reason they won't forfeit this game is because they don't want to upset Amazon Prime

There was certainly enough time to reschedule the Orient one then eh?

Genuinely made an out loud disgusted noise when reading how the Semi-Finals onward are exempt. Modern football for you - all about the money.

Swings and roundabouts. City have players out as well. Next time we play them they will probably have a fully fit squad.

But their fully fit squad versus our fully fit squad is nowhere near as daunting. They've got quality players but they are nowhere near the same side of previous seasons.

I'd certainly fancy our chances of a result if we had our full squad available for selection.

 

[Leylo]

Knew this game was going tits up when I got a obstructed view for the game, flipping typical of me

 

[Ivo]

No doubt there won't be fans allowed at the rearranged fixture...
