Funny how the teams doing well (us and dipper) seem ok
The teams not in great form not so much

Once Omicron truly takes over, I can't see many, if any, teams escaping this

On the plus side, hopefully it burns itself out quickly and the chaos - not just in football but in every other area - is short-lived

Before those

Oh right - like us last season v Everton then?

Before those

Us last Christmas.

Which game got postponed first - Brighton v Spurs or Brentford v Rags? Take your time Karen

Those teams didn't meet the medical conditions required for a postponement. One of those has a hame postponed tonight. Evidently the rags did meet the conditions.

Shame as Phil Jones is fit and ready.

He had a covid test, but it came back as

"No comment"

 

[ninjamonkey]

People are still trotting out the conspiracy bullshit? Can one of those nut jobs explain how this helps them and how its more beneficial to be forced to cram in a minimum of 2 games into a schedule that has virtually zero gaps already?

Every game that doesn't get played is a much more taxing game to play before the summer and damages them.

The swabs aren’t big enough to reach his throat.

I’ve been trying to think how it helps them but can’t come up with anything other the fact it doesn’t help them.

Gives Jesse Lingard time to come of age? That's my best guess.

Never underestimated the ability of some bluemooners to invent nonsensical bullshit when it comes to united and Liverpool conspiracies though.

This is definitely one of the more bizarre ones.

 

[KentBlue]

To be honest I'm finding it difficult to actually give a fuck what the rags do or don't do. Sick of 'em.

It’s their longest unbeaten run in ages!

 

[Phil1]

As long as we keep putting points on the board whilst they sit on their hands the better it is.
A fixture pile up for them further down the line will fuck them good and proper.

 

[Blueknows]

when are spurs,united and rest of teams going to play these games

Neither will have any European games soon

 

[eboblue]

Only 9 players available for Brentford apparently and now they're down to 7.

That's 7 more than "played" against us at the swamp recently

 

[Blueknows]

You can guarantee the media will spout this next time they play " u***** unbeaten since their loss to Watford in november"

 

[eboblue]

Does that ludicrous rule still apply where no domestic games can be played on C/L nights?

For sure. Still doesn’t hide the embarrassment of losing to Watford though!
