Ahh.

Yep, that's right. There's no story here, it was all agreed in advance.

There was only 1 week between the Spurs v Orient match & the next round of the cup so clearly there wasn't time for a rearranged fixture. For Man City I think it's something like 13 weeks between the rounds.

I'm assuming we will be named as league champions if the season ends now?

Does that mean we’ll go up with Wycombe?

Macca · Dec 29, 2020

I’d welcome an early finish Now and survival. Give us time to realise it’s ok to score goals

Spurs v Fulham off due to Covid in the Fulham squad.

Mcbean · Dec 30, 2020

Do you remember those bastards from Middlesbrough who got our fixture cancelled due to flu so that they could get their players fit - begs the question how far will it go before it is deemed a real issue pushing back games !

Well it's put back even further fans back in to grounds. It also takes pressure off managers who, are struggling without them having fans in grounds on there backs.

Be interesting so see what happens with the FA Cup games. If a decent number are postponed, where the hell do they then fit into the fixture list? And if expulsion/ forfeit is an option, then it makes a mockery of a cup competition. Part of me thinks the FA Cup should have been cancelled for a year.

I think they were scheduled to play Blackburn? It cost them a points deduction which ultimately got them relegated, while we survived.

Yes, we stayed up because of it. Real genius move on their part.

Although i guess it's to be expected but Big Sam wanting a break when he just happens to have taken over a struggling team and got walloped.

Bit that galls me is how he says he's concerend about his own health. If you're that concerned why did you take a job two fucking weeks ago that will put you at risk? It's not like you're scraping to get by.

Because he’s probably down to his last ten million.

Interesting perspective here.

Coronavirus outbreaks make it 'morally wrong' to continue playing, says Steve Bruce

Newcastle boss Steve Bruce says it is "morally wrong" to continue with football amid increasing coronavirus outbreaks at clubs.

Stopping season aint gonna help covid numbers go down. Without hsving to do their jobs players will prob break rules spread it more

Mcbean · Jan 8, 2021

I think we need football for our mental health - I will go mental
If they stop it

I always argue with my West Brom supporting in laws that this was the real great escape...

Would Wycombe be in the playoffs?

Don’t think it was a fixture against us it was another club, can’t remember which, and it cost them 3 points and ultimately cost them their premier league spot.

Correct. I think it was Blackburn. They got docked 3 points and went down because of it.

Football and watching sports (on telly) is the only thing these days millions look forward to. It's a lifeline for many unfortunately in these times.

skybluesam66 · Jan 9, 2021

a match used to be a half day experience, and was not just the 90 minutes
Being a TV fan holds nothing to the real thing, and cannot understand armchair fans (by choice) as they have not really been to a game
These are mainly people who claim to support the big teams.
Hopefully next season we will be back in grounds (but we were saying that about after xmas)

Covstu · Jan 9, 2021

Right now I would have been nursing a hangover in Norwich with a full English looking thinking about the first pint going down like razor blades but getting back on it. Sadly not to be but happy we can watch it especially when we are doing okay. We are slightly more rested than the rest of the league so if it stops it might help them rather than us. It’s not the same granted but it’s better than nothing and gives us all (in all sports) to look forward too
