I know the game's not on tonight, but can we have 2 hours of slagging off Gundogan anyway?

He's not playing this one.

 

[Blue Smarties]

He's not playing this one.

Bet Foden doesn’t get any minutes either. Disgrace.

Putting my tin hat on, I tend to agree. They will all be back in training tomorrow. There are reportedly only 4 players who are self isolating, and some admin staff. They have a squad of players for a reason. Dont get me wrong I think we need to be cancelling all games, and declaring the season null and void. It's not just about the fans, we have to think of the players and their families as well

The carabao cup isn’t null and fucking void

It isn't an option at all because the situation will continue to worsen for at least 18 months.
This is a pandemic of a new strain of virus and it kills anywhere between 1 and 8% of those affected. It will become endemic in due course and be managed via vaccinations in the same manner that winter flu is now, with annually updated versions of the vaccinations to meet the changing nature of the virus as it mutates.
The initial vaccinations will take more than a year to develop because, as with all such medications, extensive trials need to be conducted before they can be released for public use.
In the interim, if countries don't take extreme measures to curb the acceleration of cases then the ability of medical services to deal with it will become overwhelmed and we'll have so many deaths that mass graves will be in use.
If it kills 1% of the UK population, which isn't beyond reasonable expectation, then that's 660,000 people dead. A disaster scenario (say 80% of our population affected and a 5% death rate due to no medical capacity to treat) would be circa 2.6 million dead.
This is a bad situation that will get worse before we get to a point where it's manageable. It'll change the way we interact and travel, not just for decades but forever.

There are many people who are as worried as the poster of the above.
Our government won't close the stable door until it is too late.
People will only wake up when celebrities (e.g. footballers) start to die.
Germany predicting 70% of the population to catch the virus.
Olympics and Euros have to be cancelled right now.
There is a good chance that this football season (all competitions) is already over.
Don't take any chances. Avoid public gatherings. Go out as little as possible. Time to stop socialising. If the worriers are wrong - then big relief- but better to be safe than sorry.
Watch some videos on Youtube. Parts of China in lockdown. You need passes to enter your apartment. People pushing lift buttons with cocktail sticks. Roads almost empty.
I fear that our government will only make the tough choices when it is too late. No-one will be held responsible however many thousands die (just like Grenfell).
Please take this seriously. Your life is more important than watching football. Let's just all survive to see the next season.
Didn't expect this to be my first posting!

I got an email last night saying their records have shown missed four Premier games this season and would not automatically be renewed if missed ten.

I would like to see City put that one to the test now...
