    We could probably play all our Covid-infected players tonight anyway. They won't get near enough the opposition to infect them.

    So Leicester spurs now.

    This is getting to be a farce.

    I don't thing you can be naming the players <laugh> Its a medical thing, its just not right to pry into others medical status. Unfortunately I think you have to rely on the PL having a robust set of procedures to manage this situation and ensure it isn't abused. To be honest I'm not interested in knowing who is or isn't infected with COVID. I am not interested in knowing their vaccination status. Its all entirely personal and not for general consumption. What I would like to know is how many of their original 25 man squad are available for selection. That should be all that matters. If they have 14 available then they should have to play. The bench can be filled with youth players. This is why we have squads, to cover all eventualities.

    Maybe but if 14 turn up and say Ronaldo,Pogba,Rashford,Fred,Maguire,Varane et al are all absent,is that not a pointer ?

    ps I don't see why they can't be named when it's not a problem with rugby,tennis,golf,horse racing etc

    Yes but at least they can muddy the waters with injury etc. I don't think its a massive deal if people know, provided they've given consent. In a way I think **** that, if someone is ill with flu or an upset stomach, its never hidden from the public the manager will just say that. But I suppose in the modern world of COVID and getting offended about everything, players could quite rightly say my medical issues are mine to broadcast.

    Man U requesting Brighton game is rescheduled.

    **** that they'll be fresh as daisies for us <laugh>

    Why don't they just call off the games starting now, and say they are having their own little 2 week circuit break? Why are we bothered? Just lengthen the season by 2 weeks and have a shorter close season. Everyone can have a nice Christmas and come back fresh.

    Anyway its ****ing with the fantasy teams, and I'm well clear of my bros in our mini league. I'll feel like Lewis Hamilton if someone sidles up to me as a result of all this ****.

    It is. I think your missing my point.

    Either stop all the games or none at all. We played Leicester last week. Now they have had a game cancelled.

    We play Manu in 10 days time. I bet that goes ahead.

    It’s not safe to cherry pick.

    That will mean that their last match was 11th December. We play them on 27th December. That’s a gap of 16 days.

    In that time frame we will have played Leicester Liverpool and Man City.

    That hardly seems fair.

    @I want Mackem Cock
    Doesn’t seem fair that we play 3 games while they get a 16 day break.

    I'm sure two weeks is fine. Just shorten their holidays. They are getting extra rest time now. Its probably beneficial to them from a physical point of view. You are breaking the strain on them physically now. Rather than pummeling them all the way to the end of the season, then having a big rest. I've never agreed with it anyway, I think its old hat and we should have winter break every year in January.

    True life is like a box of chocolates.

    For toon fans when you open the box they are either melted or @Roland Deschain has eaten them all. And said they where ****. That they should have been 4 rows of 3 chocolates on 3 layers.

    And that no one has boxes with 4 x 4 on 2 layers anymore.

    Can I just check are there white chocolates and dark chocolates? Also do some of the chocolates identify as strawberry laces, and if so do you label them on the box as such?

    Just before I declare you a racist and jellyphobic.
