Bizarrely, with the lurgy and injuries, tonight's game could potentially end up sending wham down.
the injury to the finger of our third choice/youth team rb is potentially going to send us down? Explain.
 
no, still waiting for you to explain how a 3rd choice RB with an injured finger will relegate us.

Inability to partake of team FIFA sessions on the PlayStation leads to a downturn in team morale, fomenting a torrid run of hammerings in the league, the departure of the manager and ultimately causing the indebtment and folding of the club due to lost TV revenue after relegation

Frankly, I'm amazed you're not more worried
 
Well that shouldn't have gone ahead. Same naive management that took 6 points from 60 last season.

Cant see us playing on Saturday now. Irony is we're already a goal down when Boris is doing his social responsibility bit on the telly.

Same naive **** we've got used to but we should have called it off before kickoff.

Any prospective signings we're looking to make now know straight we're not going to protect them, so best look elsewhere.

That’s a lot of old bollocks isn’t it
 
I guess the result is to be expected, 5-1 sounds harsh, but 2 goals in injury time I guess makes it look worse than what it was. Players shouldn't take this as a downer, move on to the league and keep the unbeaten run going.

As far as the Corona virus matter, I thought Burnsey was a bit heavy on Terry..He was left with a decision to make at the eleventh hour and he would be dammed is he refuses to play and dammed if he plays. The situation is a dilemma now facing a lot of situations. The players are already there, a lot of expense has been incurred, and to postpone would just add more cost to the situation. I know the health of everyone is important, but it seems all the medical people there were happy for is to go ahead, so you have to follow their advice IMO. These sorts of situations are going to crop up now regularly, and a balanced decision sometimes has to be taken.
 
Precedent had been set when the Leyton Orient vs Tottenham game was called off two hours before kick off time due to a number of Orient players testing positive after last Saturdays game (not saying how many or when they were tested)

Should have binned the game, put all the players and staff in a bubble and worked out when to test them.

Edit, if the virus get into teams not only will there be no fans attending there won't be any players either.

You’d hope they wouldn’t be too down.
Whether we like it or not a PL team comfortably beating a League 1 team in a cup game when the L1 team didn’t play their full first team is hardly newsworthy.
On the decision to play to be fair to GM I’m struggling to see why he should have had to make a decision. I thought the Govt guidance would have meant West Ham had to have their players isolating for at least a few days until they’d all tested positive so he shouldn’t have even been put in that position. It says that if you have had contact in the last 2 days, and it talks about how close, if it’s physical contact etc and also says contact includes travelling near someone who has tested positive, then you need to isolate. Can’t see how other players, although maybe not all I suppose, wouldn’t have been classed as being in contact with the 3 who are positive so also should have gone home too?
