That's what they want mate but IMHO it's game over, Spurs and the rags have already set the precedent.

We’ll probably finish the season in July and start the next one in August and then wonder why we will go out of the World Cup in the group stages.

Do we win the league if the season is curtailed at Christmas and we are still top of the league !!!!

Nope. The Rags will get a penalty to win it at Old Trafford against an open net with the penalty spot moved to 3 inches off the goal line.

Yes we do.

No way this gets called off at this stage unless 2nd tests have revealed at least another 3 positives, the media campaign to get it postponed has been a disgrace, itv news was like a Red Cross appeal. If you’re Norwich you’d be fuming have played the shite a few days earlier with 4-5 missing. Rag-nick knows after that lethargic performance they will get rolled over, this will be Brentford supporters biggest game having been surrounded by red gobshites for years

Does anyone have the actual figure for the covid count at OT?

42 in total (players and staff) out of 3,248. At least four at Villa, so that's 38.... I thought United had reported 2 (one player, one staff) is that enough to sanction a postponement?

Spurs game against Rennes was called off because they couldn't name THIRTEEN senior players. That criteria should be applied to the rags. Given squads can be up o 25 (I think) then they would need 13 players to have tested positive.

What was our criteria with our game against Everton being postponed last year?

Completely different circumstances, as there were no vaccines available at the time, and self-isolation was the only choice.

I am a bit surprised that they are contemplating a COVID break. They have the momentun, and the penalties will continue to come. They looked terrible in their last game, but the level of their play was nothing extraordinarily bad. They have been bad for a while. Against a promoted side, a penalty, three points, and the fourth place in the table will get the consultant some breathing space.

Why does Rashford deserve criticism for being a landlord ?
What a strange world we live in. I presume he is buying decent houses and renting them at a decent affordable price. I very much doubt he has 50 slum properties where people are 5 to a room with no hot water.
I objection the ott praise given to him for pretending to care about hungry children but slagging him for investing his money is weird.

Because I believe you deserve scrutiny when how you invest your money has capacity to cause social ill, i. e. collectively pushing up prices and pricing families out of affordable accommodation. Robbie fowler has got slated, so has Micah Richards today.

Smart investment for him, but he could invest in intangibles and still make good returns.

If it helps I also think people wasting huge amounts of energy (and creating C02) whilst mining bitcoin are cunts.

Finite resources shouldn't be squandered like this.

Obviously Landlords will always exist but to what scale, and how regulation and intervention is something subject to discussion. Something we can do in off-topic.

How do you know he is pretending to care?

Confirmed now as postponed..
