Yeah I posted that about Brentford wanting the premier league to postpone all games this weekend that ain’t happening

I'd be nice if they could stay in the game as long as possible at the dips.

Teams tend to put everything in against us and get dicked from being tired the following game, hopefully this will work the other way round this time.

cheers Bielsa ;)

I really doubt that. Obviously, the clubs with outbreaks will have no choice. But if teams can play then they should. There won't be enough time later on in the season to fit all the rearranged games in.

It could be a huge advantage if we can carry on playing and winning during this Covid period. We have less games to fit in and are less affected than Liverpool and Chelsea in the AFCON as well

Being knocked out of our cup this year might be the ultimate blessing in disguise with no additional cup ties this month and next. There is also no headache of re-arranging the Everton game that is the same weekend as the final

I suspect if games are cancelled the EFL semis will be changed to a one off game

Hopefully he doesn't get booked in the next three against Newcastle, Leicester and Brentford, We then have Arsenal that's the game we want him to get a booking because we have Swindon away in the cup after that.

I certainly don't think we should rest him we can't rest him just because he has 4 yellows. If he gets another so be it. Stones and Laporte can do the job for a game.

I'd rest him for Newcastle so that he can play vs Leicester

I can see nothing to indicate that anywhere. What makes you say that?
