Super_horns Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 1 hour ago, Nalis said: Liverpool fans make me laugh. Their latest grievance is that Man City and a couple of other teams have hammered Leeds whereas Liverpool have been deprived of the opportunity to do this after their match today was called off in a clear pro Man City ploy. What makes is even more ridiculous is that they were moaning about playing 2 games in 3 days - one of those being the Leeds game. Cant make this shit up. Yes - Man City have sent a mole into the Leeds squad etc to pass on COVID. 1 hour ago, Matt said: Wolves cancelling games because of a few injuries in their squad. The precedent was set. Well we have about 6 players out so wouldn't be surprised if we've laid it a bit thick tbh. Not that it will do much good as we always have injuries and some of the games might be re-arranged for January when we lose players for the African Cup of nations.

Popular Post Sunbury Fox Posted 27 December 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 27 December 2021 Hearing Tuchel grumbling about the schedule and impact of Covid earlier was sickening, given that he was able to field a virtually full strength team v Villa and unlike us, Chelsea get 3, rather than only 2, days' rest until their next game. Love to see what he had to say if he found himself in BR's shoes. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely making a fuss as Chelsea have dropped points until tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5waller5 Posted 27 December 2021 Share Posted 27 December 2021 Sorry! Just understood the point about Arsenal!! hmmm that’s a mystery then …. I’m kinda connected to Wolves and have been told by various sources that they’d never need to cancel a game (clearly sources aren’t as well informed as they thought!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual we get punished even though we're fully triple vaxxed, both players and staff. Watford's outbreak was 10 days ago and they had closed the training ground. What the hell kind of nonsense is going on for them to have even more cases now? They really need to enforce the 14 players over the age of 18 rule and make teams play games. They did it with Derby in the FA Cup so the precedent is there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully vaccinated or not you can still catch and spread it. Games would still potentially be cancelled for an outbreak fully vaccinated or not. But like many teams who have had games cancelled (ourselves very much included in that), it has nothing to do with Covid in my opinion, they’ve simply got injuries and are buying abit of time, it also gives them their own self enforced winter break. As I said the Premier League set a precedent, they’ve let other teams get away with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
