Newcastle United (A) - Sun 19th Dec, 14:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Tokyo32]

Brentford have asked for a break until Xmas and United have a surge in cases as well.
the case rates are rising and the players are no different.
can see a circuit break coming. Just hope they announce anything before lunchtime tomorrow so travelling fans are not put out.

They are postponing games for teams that have, why should there be a general break ?

There won't be a league wide break, and makes no sense to do so. they need to get as many games played as possible before it gets even worse and we're in lockdown for a while and back to no crowds afterwards.

They'll extend the season into May/June have teams play 4 times a week if neccesary, give players no break yet again before throwing them straight into another season with a fucking World Cup in the desert halfway through. Getting as many games played as possible now will be the priority for the Premier league. Unless there's an outbreak between now nd Sunday the game shouldn't be in danger.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

As long as our games don't get cancelled that the main thing

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

Think Amazon might want the football on and there's a lot of money involved.

There won't be a league wide break, unless all 20 teams have an outbreak. Knowing this league they'll make a decision when everyone is arriving into Newcastle

If you're going check your emails. Got one off City with a link to fill in a Covid declaration form

More games postponed, ours is one of only 5 games to be going ahead this weekend.

Leicester game, I think, is likely to be postponed as well. Depends on our cases, and how quickly they can return to training

 

[lionheart]

Unlikely that Kyle Walker will play this weekend. One of his closest friends has just been found dead.

5 of the 10 premier league games have been called off this weekend.
Hope ours goes ahead.
