Aye it's worth investigating by the FA and we know due to the Cavani ban they have a lot of time on their hands. I agree if it is all true and thats a big IF, City should have three points deducted and the match forfeited to Everton.

Surely not squeaky clean Citeh?
"I might be furloughed from my job waiting tables, but I'm better at it than these shitbags are at football"
Every cloud and all that.....
There’s no way that’s true. Walker isn’t the sharpest tool in the box but he’s already been in trouble for breaching lockdown and he’s not going to be dumb enough to then organise a party in London!
Walker is a weapon, I'd not be even the tiniest bit surprised if the story is true.
He's absolutely stupid enough. The guys a fecking cretin.
Just waiting to see how many Chelsea players were at the party.
If, and it’s a big if, it’s true. Then city should be docked points/ forfeit the match.
players and ultimately clubs should be held to account if their reckless (and illegal?) behaviour leads to matches being postponed.

been in trouble multiple times and then blamed the media for finding out. Wouldn’t be surprised
The Kyle Walker stuff sounds like it's just people jumping on the bandwagon, like the Greenwood rumours etc. Hope it comes out who it was though and there should be relevant punishments regardless of who it is.
Seriously hope no United players went.
Pretty crazy how he'll likely get away with less punishment than Cavani also.

And Cavani gets banned 3 matches for writing "negrito" ..
"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.
COUGH *Rooney* COUGH
In fairness wasn't that as a little Everton youngster wretch days?
Nah multiple times since then allegedly.
I'd well believe Walker is capable of this level of stupid to be honest. But I'd wait for guilt to throw the book at him.
If it turns out to be true he should be sacked immediately by us and banned from football for a long time by the FA.
Endangering his team mates, club staff, their families etc.. along with the same for opposition players, staff and family is a much bigger issue than causing a game of footie to be called off.

Absolutely. We have 20 registered senior players. 5 with covid we also have two injured. We had 13 fit senior registered players for Everton and still offered to play the game if required to.
Some of the nonsense on here was unfair. We have Gundo fit again for Chelsea and you guys so 14 registered players.
City literally did nothing wrong in this mess unless reporting an outbreak of a potentially killer virus is wrong.
One of our more brainless players possibly deserves sacking if rumours are true.
Disagree.
What wrong did they do? Without heresay or conjecture.
Would it be informing the PL of an outbreak of a potentially killer virus, or saying they'd play the match?
It's City so way too many people write complete nonsense here and take every tweet they find as facts.
Amusing spin on things.
Not entirely sure why people find it complicated to understand the issue here.
What Manchester City have essentially done is claim that they don't believe the negative results because of the increase in number of positive tests, essentially that more players could be infected without the tests revealing it. You then ask the right questions about the risks involved and you get the obvious answer that yes, there is a risk that City's worries are real, that more players can be infected and then infect others, you then list the potential outcome and the Premier League can't really go against that.
The problem should be quite easy to understand. Every single time a club has an increase in positive test results, no matter if it's from 0-> 1->2 etc, that potential dilemma exists. There's nothing different between City's situation on monday than West Hams situation when Moyes&co got positive results, Sheffield, Arsenal, etc. As soon as you see an increase, the same argument can be drawn up and you can easily get medical advice to underline the risks involved.
Everyone knows that a negative test result doesn't mean that you aren't infected, every medical advice will say the same, but the only way things work at the moment is that the test results are interpreted as clear answers. You test negative you're negative and available to play, if you test positive then into isolation you go. If every club does the same as City when important players are infected, then the outcome should be fairly easy to predict.
City's concerns were so big that less than 48 hours after the match was postponded, the first team was back in full training. If the risk was really that big for uncontrolled spread of the virus within the club, the only outcome would've been to isolate the players for 10 days, you didn't.
Wrong, Your timeline is wrong.
I'll explain again. City have a senior squad of 20 registered players. 2 had Covid on christmas day, 18. Eric Garcia was injured, 17. Gundogan got injured vs Newcastle 16, 3 players tested positive for Covid on the day of the Everton game 13! City informed the PL but said they could play the fixture if required (Foden, Harwood Bellis, Delap are all in the first team squad but are not registered on the senior list) and as such the game could have gone ahead. The PL got medical advice and said "No don't play the game". Its really that simple.
There was another round of testing (after the postponement) when no one else came back positive and City were allowed to return to training (so players with 3 consecutive negative tests).
fecking idiots
Even more stupid is taking photographs. It's just blatant disobedience.
And if they do try to postpone the game now, they forefit the points.
If this causes an outbreak then every game affected is forefitted.
Ridiculous position for Spurs to be in
Are there pictures from Walker's alleged party yet?
It is. The game is going ahead anyway, but if they lose Jose will have a couple of scapegoats.
If Lo Celso and Lamela have covid, shouldn't Reguilon be in isolation as well and Lanzini.
Not in the least. It's absolutely in keeping with everything that happened in the world last year.
Spurs needs to be closely looked at after this. If they do have to forefit points because it was a player breaking quarentine then they have no incentive to report an outbreak.
It might be unfair but it was Jose who told the Spurs doctors not to scan Sons broken arm because he would be forced to miss games if it was a break.
Youd think everyone in the house that day would have to isolate
Maybe he tested negative?
Do they ?
Presume they have tested him and he is negative. He has been dropped to the bench.
At what point do clubs start serious punishing players for these ridiculous breaches?
