That game was definitely going ahead this morning :roll:

Can we get the Brentford game declared null and void now?

Our game against Leeds could be in doubt too.

Leeds have just 11 senior players available, including 2 goalkeepers, for their match against Arsenal on Saturday #AFC

They will probably throw a sickie too then :roll:
Don’t know what the problem is though if they have 11 fit players.
I’m sure they can put a few ball boys on the subs bench :lol:

The integrity of the league (as if it had fucking any to begin with :roll: ) has completely gone down the shitter now.

We’re now into asterisk territory for this season chaps.

A covid outbreak massively disrupted our preparation for the opening game and yet we were forced to play on with a weakened side in a game we lost.

This is no longer the case and teams who find themselves in the same situation are having their games cancelled.

So get ready to chalk this one down with an *

Like with the victims* the rules of the competition have changed half way through. Absolute farce abandon the lot.

i dont think it is that bad yet.
dont forget that in the olden days when it used to snow dozens of matches were called off every season.
and then you had endless cup replays - none of this deciding matches on penalties crap.
playing 3 matches a week in April was once considered normal. :D

It's an absolute shitfest right now and the league only has themselves to blame - these cuntin clubs must have over 60 pro's on their books, and they cant get enough to fill a matchday squad ?? It shouldnt matter if they are their first choice selections or not - the victims first team got absolutely decimated last season, but their games had to still go ahead.

No point making these big bravado statements about the league going ahead if they are going to call off games on a game by game basis anyway :roll:
