COVID Watch

Hopefully no-ones suffering too badly! Including families etc.

Probably shouldn't speculate, but thought Rodri looked a bit peaky the other day when he was subbed off early.

Fuck the Euros off altogether. At least that gives all leagues some movement at the end of the season.

the problem with the euros and all the other competitions is money. sponsors and tv companies have already paid for these products and the clubs have spent the money, or earmarked much of it. cancelling the euros could bankrupt many national football associations, it wont happen.

same reason the olympics wont be cancelled, too much money to be made from tv and marketing

Is an apple included

Have to ask the players maids what they packed

Is it Cancelo and Torres aswell or just rumours? Seen Ederson has tested positive. Right shit show this

If they can prove they caught it at the hotel then that really should be that for games in Tier 4 areas

This is really difficult for the players and their families. They are taking the risk of playing every 3 days in different areas for the love of football and now with this outbreak many of them will be worried sick about their families, kids, parents.

Imagine the mental health of some of the players. I really feel for them

I cannot understand how a points deduction can even be discussed in these times. Many more games will be postponed as we will not be the last team to have an outbreak. I expect the Chelsea game will also be postponed and probably the Semi Final of the LC could be postponed.

I will give it another week and we will see other teams postponing games. Then what? Another League halt?

Why didn't the PL just give the players a break over the holidays for a change to let them get away from all the stress!

Stay safe everyone and I really feel for the players and wish them well

If, it was caught at the hotel in London then I don’t understand why they are staying at a hotel why not fly there an back same day less avenues of possible infection?

They have travelled on match days, especially for night matches, but they will need a hotel for prematch meal, team meeting etc.

He did play against us.
He missed their last match due to Covid

No surprise after playing in tier 4 London the other day. There will be more in the next round of tests.

Called it on Christmas Day. There’s nothing we could have realistically done to stop it. The virus is very infectious, it doesn’t mean all our squad are dicking about.
