Another Fulham game off.
Big issues there I feel. The league needs to be more transparent with this.

You can't even get the facts right, christ
I'm spot on where am I wrong, You're a wum, but if you can back up your point. Back it up.
"For instance, in the 2020/21 Premier League handbook, clubs have been told "permission will not be granted to postpone a league match where the applicant club has 14 or more players listed on its squad list available."
Teams were permitted earlier this season to name 25 players in their Premier League squad list - and that doesn't include registered U21 players.
Man City, for example, according to the Premier League website, named 20 players in their Premier League squad list. They currently have Ilkay Gundogan and Eric Garcia injured, with Walker and Jesus positive with coronavirus. That takes their Premier League squad list down to 16 - but doesn't account for any subsequent positive cases they may have found out about on Monday."
The subsequent cases were 3 on the day of the Everton game. Try reading and looking into things instead of spouting shit with no argument to back it up other than a laughing face.

For all the talk about RAWK and Bluemoon its kinda funny the same user names are in here spouting the same conspiracy shite as usual.
Why is Kyle Walker's Christmas party not being mentioned in the media? It has caused a huge outbreak among Premier League players and as a result has caused games to be postponed but there has hardly been a word about him? When Greenwood brought a girl back to his room in Iceland he was absolutely hammered in the media for months despite the fact he didn't cause a single case of the virus. Am I missing something here?

Manchester City's fixture at Everton, due to be played at 8pm this evening, has been postponed following a Premier League Board meeting.
Manchester City lodged a request with the Premier League today to rearrange the match following an increase in positive COVID-19 test results received by the club this morning, on top of the cases reported on Christmas Day.
This rise has created uncertainty and the Premier League Board received medical advice that the match should be postponed.
The Board agreed to rearrange the game as a precaution, and further testing will now take place tomorrow.
The decision has been taken with the health of players and staff the priority.
The Premier League continues to have full confidence in its protocols and rules, and the way in which all clubs are implementing them.
The League wishes those with COVID-19 a safe and speedy recovery and will rearrange the postponed fixture against Everton in due course.
Not entirely sure why you find it so difficult to debate the actual facts, instead of the make belief spin you want to put on it.
Is there any evidence it’s true other than a few random tweets?
Just brain dead. I don't understand people that had Christmas/New Year parties... so selfish.
I'm surprised that 'Project restart' didn't include rules for things like this... it's not fair on the clubs abiding by the rules and the fans relying on the matches for mental welfare.

Again...
The Premier League Board ultimately decides whether matches can or cannot be postponed. While there aren't hard and fast rules - each game is judged on a case-by-case basis - there are some guidelines.
For instance, in the 2020/21 Premier League handbook, clubs have been told "permission will not be granted to postpone a league match where the applicant club has 14 or more players listed on its squad list available."
Teams were permitted earlier this season to name 25 players in their Premier League squad list - and that doesn't include registered U21 players.
Man City, for example, according to the Premier League website, named 20 players in their Premier League squad list. They currently have Ilkay Gundogan and Eric Garcia injured, with Walker and Jesus positive with coronavirus. That takes their Premier League squad list down to 16 - but doesn't account for any subsequent positive cases they may have found out about on Monday.
16 players and 3 tested positive on the eve of the Everton game.
They lodged the request on the basis they were under 14 players not on your wild ideas and said they would fulfill the fixture if asked. I've already shown you why. None of what you posted there or quoted contradicts that. The Premier League did indeed seek medical advice and tell City "Don't play the game".
Its not rocket science buddy, its pretty much.
City - We've got less than 14 senior players and an outbreak of corona. We are requesting a pp but will play if necessary.
PL - Let us check with medical experts.
Medical Experts - Don't play the game
PL - Don't play the game
City - Ok.
Conspiracy Theorists - "City are bending the rules by following them exactly as outlined to get a game postponed that they were well within their rights to request and even said they would fulfill if they were told to play."
Anyone caught breaking covid-rules should be automatically banned for 6 matches - it should be considered twice as bad as a red card for violent conduct
1000% I would go further and say sacking or a year plus ban. They are literally endangering peoples live. Big Sam is 66 years old, Roy Hodgson 73, Bielsa 65, Bruce 60. And thats not including other staff they could infect in the bubble, nevermind interactions outside.
Can you document these claims ?
It defies logic, doesn't it
You can tell it's fake for certain by the blatantly faux-naive "someone called sancho from Dortmund FC" bit. Oh yeah, the guy just stumbled upon bombshell insider news about Kyle Walker and went on to share it on WhatsApp, but 'who is this Sancho Pansa guy from Durt-mont!?'
Trying to pass off as someone not connected to or informed about football and therefore there would be no reason to assume he'd want to fabricate a WUM story about it, very transparent and poorly executed attempt.

City's mendy at it as well
I am so shocked that Mendy did this. It’s completely out of character.
You’re colourblind
Mendy strikes me as a normal bloke that woke up one day as a professional footballer and he simply goes wild and doesn’t know how to deal with it.
Kind of annoying Balotelli isn't around still. You just know whatever he did would have blown all these poor attempts out of the water.
Not just that. Players care about their money. They should be fined in a big way. I'm talking about 7-8 figures, wich is milions. If Cavani can be fined 100 000 for nothing then so could these guys who think they are unbreakable and actually doing something that could result in health problems.
The FA and Premier League have a problem with Cavani but not with this idiots is another reason why the off-the-pitch-rules are so shit 
A massive amount of testing and other resources have been spent on these footballers........everyone should be banned for at least 10 matches.

Another fecking idiot. I don't get it. Why is the FA not handing out bans to these idiots? Fines obviously mean feck all.
Is this likely to be one of the 5 they already had isolating or an additional one?
It's not as if he's dead and gone.
These arrogant, selfish players are going to get elite sports in this country banned, the government will not tolerate this kind of high profile breaking of the rules for much longer... particularly if they are going into more severe lockdowns. The PL need to step into this sharpish & start banning players for long periods.
Simply because they don't play for Manchester United. Can you imagine the media and FA outrage if this was United players that had caused all this nonsense?
Southampton’s keeper will miss tomorrow’s game due to testing positive for COVID.
Paul Scholes' daughter(s) and her friends got slaughtered in papers for having party at his house NYE
Guardiola has lost his mother because of the coronavirus and then he says something like this
You should get that persecution complex checked out, looks nasty.
I’m sure I have just heard the reporter on Sky say the league will stop at midnight.
they did but he misspoke, elite sport such as the PL will continue
Heard that too, I ever hit rewind to get a double take
I have full faith in our new overlords TalkSport. They say it's continuing.
I hope this is true. Locking everyone up is bad enough but with nothing to watch on TV but the depressing news, series reruns and old movies makes it even worse.
We need sports in some form to keep us sane.
they've just corrected themselves
