Rearranged Games - When?

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

I'm absolutely not arsed about the rest of the season and increasingly less arsed about football.

 

It's non stop, the games are plastered all over TV, everything is debated about (including 5 young lads going to the darts on their day off). Saudi Arabia are buying Keiran Trippier and the pundits lap it up.

 

I feel sorry for the players but sadly the interested money men just flog the shit out of them.

 

What we're likely to see over the next few months is a load of crazy weird results and I absolutely cannot be arsed with it.

 

Rant over.

110% on the money....its a load of bollox.....I just hope we can get 40 points in the league and then have a crack at the Europa Conference League so long as our entire team isn't injured by then....if that's the case roll on next season

FFS I can't make the Spurs game 

[Corky]

Aren't Soyuncu and Daka supposed to be back by then? I think we'll step up trying to get some players in soon after this.

I am lucky -- but had almost booked a night out.

I dunno things like this keep things interesting

Talk now that the Norwich game maybe played during at international break weekend. Dont see why not none of our English lads get picked anyway. But wed be without kasper, Evans, sonchyu, nacho, tielemans, castange, peirera, ndidi, ward, vestergaard, armetey.

 

Leaving us with

 

Vardy, maddison, barnes, albrighton, Perez, Thomas, choudhury, Daley-Campbell, lookman? Nine first team players and no goalkeeper!!! 

 

Somehow dont think itll happen

It’s not an international break for European based players.

Seems like an uncomfortable question to ask our lads… if they want to stay with us or go to their international fixtures

Yes. And Asia, North America and South America as they have got to catch up on the World Cup qualifiers.

Cheers, that's where I was getting confused, was thinking 29th was 4th Round week.

We should move all matches until big dan is back in town

[Matt]

Fact of the matter is we had injuries (Aswell as Covid) ahead of the original date but I feel the injuries were the pressing issue, force and real drive behind us trying to get it postponed, eventually it was postponed.

 

Other clubs have done the same since.

 

Given we still have injuries (A list of which has got longer), we have players away at AFCON and we still potentially have Covid issues, in hindsight we'd probably have been better playing it for the original scheduled date.

 

In a way I applaud the Premier League for doing it, I feel it's their retaliation to clubs implementing their own 'break', so much crying come from them.

 

Checkmate.

[Matt]

For the record our best, most enjoyable performance of the season come when we had a depleted squad, it looked like there was more hunger there, they wanted it more, they played like a team that wanted to attack, go forwards and be positive, it may have been coincidence but it was a refreshing change!

Surely we can play the Norwich game in Africa.

[fox in the sox]

I think 35 points will be enough for survival so we need 10 points from 60. Even with all these problems we will get 10 points, it is fairly certain we will finish mid table - so maybe we should be going as strong as possible in the cups that we are still in.

Norwich was them not us.

I'm starting to think that the PL are deliberately shafting us. Forcing us to play 5 games in 15 days when we have 13 senior players available is simply ridiculous when there are free midweeks later in the season.

Those midweeks are saved for when teams play in the FA Cup latter rounds and their league games have to be rearranged.

I think all clubs will have their games rearranged on the earliest possible dates available 

 

PL isn’t interested in injuries or player availability - the rules are set and if rearranged games have to be postponed again then so be it
