December 30, 20204 yr soccer players are pretty much essential workers given their importance to the mental health and well-being of people in the UK. take a 2 week break and get them started on the vaccines. a multi-week winter break should already be built into the Premier League like all the other European leagues. this might be the beginning of a yearly break.Kind of agree with this. People would have a meltdown though
December 30, 20204 yr Don't expect it. BTW - that thread is a really good read, I highly recommend following the first post and reading the whole thing. Edited December 30, 20204 yr by Captain Ron
December 30, 20204 yr Another thing to note - the EPL/FA is about to run out of dates to put games back The thread goes on and on. But it explains that if certain teams win out, the EPL could be in a big schedule crisis not being able to get all of the required games in by May 23.
December 30, 20204 yr Carabao and FA Cup can just go away. International duties need to be suspended until all the players are vaccinated. Why is it fine to send these guys off to various countries around the globe all with vastly different protocols, stages, and rates of infections?

January 1, 20214 yr West Ham could get all 3 points on a goal in the last 5 minutes. Everton needed this.
January 1, 20214 yr big match about to start up. ManU could tie Liverpool for first in points with a win (though will be behind in goals for). Villa could tie for third with a win (and with a game in hand). Edited January 1, 20214 yr by Jive Turkey
January 1, 20214 yr Mings completely whiffed on that clearance header... 1-nil on a counterattack from ManUtd.

January 1, 20214 yr Didn't last long... Luiz very clumsy and Pogba down in the box. Penalty. 2-1 United in the 61st.
January 1, 20214 yr That's the final result, too. Entertaining match... score was representative of the play, I think.
January 2, 20214 yr This West Brom v Arsenal snow globe game is pretty fun to watch.Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
January 2, 20214 yr especially when we're actually playing like Arsenal. two beautiful goals in the snow. Edited January 2, 20214 yr by shadow_operative
January 3, 20214 yr pop quiz hot shots: which two keepers are tied for the most clean sheets away from home this season, with 5 each?
January 3, 20214 yr Newcastle and Leicester demonstrating just why they are where they are in the table. Newcastle get a break and the cross into the box finds no one because their forwards stopped on the edge of the box for some reason. The game remains 1-0. Leicester breaks and their forwards don’t make the mistake and they score their second.
January 3, 20214 yr Yeah, Newcastle has been the better side for much of the last 20-25 minutes, but that situation I pointed out exemplifies why Leicester has maintained their advantage.
January 3, 20214 yr For sure. They are a powerful squad, I just love how scrappy Newcastle is playing. Always had a soft spot for them.
January 3, 20214 yr Citeh a perfect demonstration of how the EPL doesn't care about player safety. SIX players out due to COVID protocols!?!?

January 3, 20214 yr Just now, Jive Turkey said: Nice. He’s gonna get tested. Yep. You can tell that Chelsea is going to make sure he's not comfortable when the ball is played back to him. I bet they try to pepper him with shots too.
January 3, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, Jive Turkey said: Nice. He’s gonna get tested. I'd certainly fucking hope so. Never know with this team.
January 3, 20214 yr BRAIN: Don't Make a mistake! Don't Make a mistake! Don't Make a mistake! Don't Make a mistake! Don't Make a mistake! <Picks up a back pass>

January 3, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, mdmost said: This feels like it's about to get out of control for Chelsea. About to? I'm not seeing 2 goals out there for us today. Not seeing us keep them out of the net for another 70', either.
January 3, 20214 yr Sweet lord, that counter Raheem. At least you still got KDB. Edited January 3, 20214 yr by mdmost
January 3, 20214 yr 9 minutes ago, midtown said: Is Frank making it out of the season? Frank isn't the issue. We need to throw $100M at a new winger. Not enough talent on the pitch.
January 3, 20214 yr 3 minutes ago, Captain Ron said: Hmmm He could potentially save his job if we can keep it rolling in the CL but that's still almost 2 months away. We have Fulham to try and get back on track - Wolves and Leicester after that. I think Fulham has become must win and if we drop 3 against either of the 2 after that I think he's done. There's nothing wrong with losing to City - but we weren't even competitive. 3-1 is a massively forgiving scoreline for what we put on display.
