I think the PL rules say the game goes ahead if you have 13 players fit, with at least one fit GK. Spuds must either have a bigger than reported outbreak or the PL is just winging it.

No. Those are the UEFA rules for European competition - hence tonight's game being postponed.

The PL rules are on a case by case basis.

If you can't field a team you should forfeit period.

Choupo-Moting also still has problems after getting covid, but he while unvaxed doesn't strike me as a ****, so I hope he'll get better

Yeah it’s pretty harsh to have zero sympathy but I pretty much have none for him. I wonder if clubs are factoring in vaccination status when looking at transfers now? Seems wise but probably not. It’s also a good indicator of if they are a moron or not.

Whilst I'd happily see this apply to to Tottenham, this isn't reasonable right now.

Last week we regaled our Gold members with a story about Joe Hart losing his rag with a child who dared to mock him, booting his ball into a car park.

Following that story, a Shotter named Camilla writes:
I read about a similar tale involving terrifying German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn.

Apparently he once played in a penalty shootout against a group of nine year olds. For every penalty the kids scored, money was given to charity.

Kahn saved every single one.

Khan/Lehmann era was the peak really. The chances to have 2 such great keepers and absolte headcases in the same timeline is just incredible.

reminds me of our annual alumni rugby game where during halftime our captains kept yelling at us to remember that the alumni were going to donate to the team $100 x their point total at the end of the day so stop tackling them so eagerly and let them score a bunch

Let’s not forget that Michael Owen penno against a 9 year old, when he celebrated scoring like he’d won the FA Cup

That got a mention later in the email as well. Owen really is a special individual.

Europa conference league is one of the worst ideas they've ever had. Give it 2 seasons at most before it's scrapped.

Tbh CSKA Sofia vs Roma sounds more interesting than two of the 25 CL locks playing for the millionth time

yeah, ok. Bayern already said they won't pay such a ridiculous amount of money for him, Barca can't afford food for the players anymore and RM will definitely not pay that kind of money for him, especially if Mbappe comes. Raiola is starting to put pressure early on City and United.

Does it though? Let's see what their schedule looks like when they have to start trying to reschedule all these missed matches (including Burnley).

Honestly, they should have just forfeited the Rennes match. No one cares about the Europa Conference League, and it would have freed up some space on their calendar.

Dennis is the Gabriel Jesus Man City thought they’d got.
Same hair. Different eyebrows.
