Do the tv companies want a player who’s just returned from covid collapsing on the pitch with breathing difficulties because that’s the position they are putting the clubs and players in.

But think about the ratings, Brian. The ratings!
It is incredibly reckless by the league and the broadcasters.
It would be extremely spursy to still not score a single goal
Man Utd were allowed to call of their Tuesday fixture away Brentford on the Monday
"Manchester United can confirm that following PCR test confirmation of yesterday’s [Sunday] positive LFT Covid-19 cases among the first team staff and players". How many of the 19 were players?
Also, why hasn't their fixture v Brighton on Saturday not already been postponed? Surely all the '19 cases' from Monday will still be isolating.

It already has.........
The "this is what you have big squads for" line is now being rolled out.......
Obviously this didn't apply to Utd though.
On the flipside:
Aside from ourselves had anyone had something one could genuinely claim to be a full-blown "covid outbreak"?
Sounds like Leicester and are just trying to merge together with their existing squad ailments to create a 'claim'........ Get the impression that United were just rallying merely on the basis of certain key players testing positive, rather than overall number of positive tests too.
It's gonna be like a training game.... Expect shitty running stats and costly errors.
I just want a win. 1-0 is great
Fuck it - if Leicester are as fucked as we are it levels the playing field.
Just try get away with a 1-0 and 3 points and we'll have helped our cause massively.
Seeing as Kane doesn't seem to have caught it at all, it would be nice time for a fresh him to start putting a few goals away against an unrecognisable defence!

Where'd you get that quote from?
Right old clusterfuck.... It doesn't state the amount of cases..... The number 19 is written as "Covid-19" (i.e. the name of the virus); not that there were 19 cases....
????
Okay to be fair to the PL, this is is a shit reason to get a game postponed
Knowing the PL they’ll give the 3 points to Man Utd as a Xmas bonus!
Buckle up, bruv...... That's the story of the rest of our season now.... No scope for worrying about winning in style what with our incoming fixture pile up and thin squad.
You're right, the 19 is my error.
All I can find is "The club recorded a "small number" of positive COVID-19 cases among players and staff following Saturday's match at Norwich."
So, how many players did they have test positive?
Considering that the PL are refusing to postpone Spurs v Leicester, when both clubs have players who are positive
Obviously ours and Leicester's case wasn't deemed Manchester United serious enough
This game is like a last (11) man standing for both teams
Agree MadridBill, their fans also feel screwed over compared to United and rightly so. Would have been better for us and them to just postpone and let us play against Rennes.
PS: Except, if they have mostly injured players and just a few COVID that would change the situation, but afaik thats unknown.

Juts reeks of United getting the golden-child treatment. Nothing i've read suggests it was as bad as our outbreak.
Ditto Leicester.
