Spurs are playing every midweek so not sure how that happens ….the PL won’t want to drop a fixture …..

Unless the Carabao cup game gets pushed back till next year

At the very least I imagine our game goes because of trying to fit in the Rennes game. The midweek after they have League Cup QF

I reckon the Rennes game will be next Thursday and we'll be moved to March time.

Spurs wouldn’t be able to play next week though would they, wouldn’t they all still be isolating ?

They might be able to get some players back, rules in Europe are different to here in terms of numbers needed.

That’s my thought cos they won’t want to move the Carabao Cup quarter finals the week after and upset the cup dates with semi finals in January. 
 

They won’t want it much later than that either because Rennes play in the league on 22nd. (Although they do have a cup game on the Saturday before). 
 

It will also potentially assist us as well

Rennes saying the game is still on

Maybe they’re aiming for a 3-0 win and not having to play the tie. They are already guaranteed 1st place. I guess they don’t really care what happens if they can avoid playing the tie at all.

I reckon ours will be called off then possibly played in midweek in January, but this relies on both going out of the cup.

 

Knowing us it'll end up being in April about 3 days before we play them away.

Surely AFCON must be cancelled? Would be insanity if not.

Corner practice!

Everyone blindfolded, Schmeichel has to stay on the goaline with foam hands and a sock in his mouth.

Have to stop Mendy from scoring but he will have a bell strapped round his ankle just to make it interesting.

 

ps clearances must be no further than 10 yards

Why ? You can’t just keep cancelling everything every winter

Because of the new covid variant and its apparent rapid spread, and yes you could any tournament if the data suggests further spread is likely.

There’s no sign it causes serious illness. Cases don’t mean anything

Of course it causes serious illness. It’s a virus. The issue is the extent to which it causes serious illness. All eyes on hospitalisation and ventilation data from Gauteng province South Africa. And difference between impact on those unvaccinated versus 1, 2 or 3 doses.

The Premier League reckon 68% of their players are double vaccinated and 81 single. Apparently Manchester United and Brighton have the least players vaccinated according to the Times

I know for definite all our players are double vaxxed. They made a song and dance about it at the time.

*This is purely for the joke, I of course applaud the take up of vaccinations at your club*

We had the delta variant swarming for the euros and it still went ahead. Cancelling AFCON would be disgusting tbh

Yes, perhaps so, but this variant is even more virilent it seems thus far, feels like the sort of reactionary thing that may happen is all.

It’s a variant of a virus that essentially shut the entire world down, has caused 5.2 million deaths worldwide, millions of people will suffer life long health consequences of contracting it and there is still around 7,000 people currently in hospital with Covid in the UK nearly 2 years later of the original cases being in this country 

 

but “there’s no sign it causes serious illness”
