Arsenal v Wolves is off, Covid in the Wolves camp apparently.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Sick seeing both Spurs and Arsenal cementing themselves in the top 5, Arteta has really turned Arsenal around from being at the bottom at the start of the season. He bought so well particularly in his defense, last season they were conceding so many goals and he's got a few youngsters coming through that will score goals. And Conte has done wonders at Spurs even through he's hasn't got the chance to buy anyone yet, really makes me feel sick!

Thought Wolves were 100% vaccinated, I would have thought that was enough to continue?

Doesn't stop you getting COVID though?

I know, but in a situation like this it feels like testing for testings sake. They are much less likely to be ill and much less likely to be transmitting to others.

Why's there so little fans in the ground

I was just thinking that. Have they implemented a crowd limit, or is it just that they haven’t won for so long the Brighton fans can’t be @rsed?

Loads of Covid down south, Spurs and West Ham half empty today

 

Also getting to the Amex without using the train is near enough impossible and services are awful on Boxing Day 

[KFS]

Brentford are so shit

[coolhandfox]

West Ham showing that we are not the only ones to struggle when you lose two of your best CBs.

Yeah, not sure we’d bother if we have Bertrand, but I think he’d be a really good fit for us

This is what’s annoying. Playing it safe is what takes you to evertons level... to really challenge the pyramid you’ve got to take a chance on less known players. 
 

cuccurrella, livramento, coufal are 3 great examples of great talents that cost very little.

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, just look what can sometimes (not always) happen when you ditch an underperforming manager.

Wolves cancelling games because of a few injuries in their squad.

 

The precedent was set.
