Looks like we'll be playing Liverpool at Anfield behind closed doors now... which is a bonus for our players not having to listen to the constant screeching ditties by the dippers..

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
How lazy is Allardyce though? Been out of a job for two years. Comes back and already wants a break after just two weeks in his new job.
I would have to think so. I honestly cant believe Man City owners cant just buy a ton for UAE and then claim City as key workers fly them there and give it to them.
The backlash will be massive from the public if footballers are allowed to get before anyone at all involved in healthcare and then even people in shipping and logistics should really be in front of them, even truck drivers.

They'll still crank that horrible song out at full blast though.
Celtics one?
Not lazy, just opportunistic. He wants the games postponed but trainings to keep going so he can drill his double decker properly. This season's Karren Brady.
The close proximity of the games means that clubs can't be sure that any outbreak has been contained, so just because a player tests negative doesn't mean they don't have the virus as it usually takes a few days to show up.
City given the all clear to face Chelsea this weekend.
I was just wondering how many postponements have there been lately in the other major league? Is it that Bojo opened the country up for Christmas and as they say you give people an inch and they will take a mile? They seem to have been stricter abroad.
Should we not wait to see the result of the Liverpool match before we start calling for null and void ?
After a nice rest
Why should everyone else pay price because teams can't manage their bubbles properly?
Who aren’t rich as feck, can’t order everything home, don’t have their own car or 10, live with multiple generations in a small home rather than a massive mansion or luxury townhouse etc etc etc...
Yeah, should have worded myself better. Still I think the individual games should be scraped rather than postponed, if a team can't play because of infections, either bring a youth side or forfeit. Pointless to delay it.
Adrian Durham on Talksport has just said he couldn't understand why City stopped in a hotel anyway, why they didn't just fly down on the day.
How do you know Man City haven't managed their bubbles properly?
City had no positive cases on the 22nd when they played Arsenal. It has since come to light that Gabriel has tested positive, so he could well have passed it onto Walker and Jesus who have then subsequently infected others in their "bubble".
They are saying they caught it at the hotel they stopped at.
Comedy.
Just in time for the 2 players that was infected to be eligible to play.
That's just ridiculous. So they had what, 5 cases? And they were granted a postponement? This is where the PL needs to be strong and make clubs use their squads. Feckin City.
I don’t think any of us are surprised that the biggest con merchants in the league pulled this off first. 
If there is a rule to be bent or loophole to be found you can be certain city will find it.

Don't see anything unusual taking place. Obviously if they didn't know that the outbreak was contained before the game against Everton, a postponement was the right choice and it didn't matter whether it was 1, 5 or 10 players that tested positive. Now that they've isolated the cases and contained the outbreak, makes sense that they're given the all clear to play next weekend.
The only farce was the PL allowing teams to have fans inside the stadium - not ony a bad idea if you can't grant the same advantage to every team, but also just a very bad idea given the Covid situation in the UK. It made no sense from the beginning.

Agreed, was just stirring debate fellar.
I had a test at dialysis today (Wed) and got the result within 10 minutes.
No reason why multi-million £ football clubs can't do the same.
Bingo, how long before we see Liverpoo pull this trick?
Yes an old and overweight man scared for his health in a pandemic is weird. We should all boo him!
Beautiful. Keep it moving. Society needs football. Depression and suicides are already at an all time high and for a lot of people, football is a way to stay level headed. Pausing it won't do any good. We would be pausing it for years and years to come and then we will have an issue about clubs going bankrupt.
Here in Canada we have lockdowns but still experience record amount of "cases".
How don't know how much of it is true but Twitter rumour mill is going aghast at the Xmas party that was arranged which may have lead to a number of footballers getting Covid.
Going by the Twitter comments, City need to get 3 points deducted
I’m curious what the story is.
If TheFA can ban people because of the culture they can ban players for breaching rules.

Been forwarded this on WhatsApp so it is obvious watertight;
Time for me to get on the blower to Ole. I can do a job.
If that is true, is Kyle Walker an absolute moron?
"Someone called Sancho".
Sounds legit that a player would just casually sneak out of Germany on a private jet for an obviously mad party.
It is Kyle W@nker though. The only premier league player ever who has to pay women to be with him.
Imagine thinking SHU or Arsenal are helping anyone's mental health.
So not surprised that Walker and Sancho are involved if true. Neymar better up his game.
I actually agree. In these sort of situations, especially when it isn't the first time, punish the club and they will then make fecking sure their players behave themselves. At the minute the player will get a fine, so what.
