The mental thing is they've seemingly put nothing in place after last season, how did project restart not include defined rules and contingencies moving forward? They still seem to be making it up as they go along 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed much slimmer and younger looking... and things went well for him here! This job has the same effect as choosing the wrong goblet in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade! The Man U job is like opening the Ark of the Covenant if you’re a nazi. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrusr Posted December 24, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 24, 2021 Burnley v Everton postponed now as well. Seems a bit daft to keep playing when it is clearly running through a number of different teams. Seems by the time it has been spotted it has already passed onto other people.

foreveryoung Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I'm guessing there will be more players testing positive after Christmas day, knowing many players not really taking it that seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 BBC Quote Tottenham boss Antonio Conte says Thursday's meeting between managers and the Premier League to discuss issues around the Covid-19 pandemic was like talking to a brick wall. On Monday the league chose to continue playing through the Christmas period. Three games on 26 December have now been postponed, taking the total to 13, while players and club staff returned a record 90 positive tests last week. Asked if the meeting was a waste of time, Conte said: "I think so." The Italian added: "Yesterday it was [like talking to] a wall and for this reason I also prefer to not go into it." The Premier League has declined to comment and BBC Sport has been told Spurs boss Conte did not contribute to any discussions within the meeting.

NFL is the same, seemingly lots of players not jabbed and getting it The difference is NFL have said the games are on, use skeleton squads and back ups PL should do the same or call it off at the moment it's in between 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
