Fulham v Spurs is definitely off now. Might as well cancel the season. Null and void!

If we're going to do that can we also void last season as well?

To late now Trophy’s in the cabinet.
But this season it’s quite close atm if it gets any worse it’s not impossible.
Sure the money will talk.
But been proved that their COVID bubbles are not secure.
We have seen the Covid bubbles aren't secure but why not. Rugby seems to be coping relatively well (with bigger playing squads) but if we halt the footie season now with so much other footie how does it get finished. I can't seeing anyone in power or with a vested interest wanting a void season

Is it? Latest round of testing had 33 positive tests across the 10 clubs and 3 games cancelled in the last week because of Covid

"Latest round of testing"
Are they not tested every day? In the NFL they are, along with GPS transmitters at all times.

why is it disgusting? why do you need to be tested every day? i assume testing every day has led to no problems in the NFL?
Is that a case then of the new strain suddenly being a game changer in professional sport as, like football, until recently they had been ticking along nicely. If the new strain can take hold that much quicker even inside a bubble surely there is an argument for sporting fire-break.

Have no idea whether the new strain is to blame, will no doubt cop the blame though. Personally be surprised if theres a firebreak unless it comes as an order from the government

There has been two mass outbreaks (23 out of 100+ players and staff), but both teams were Investigated and found to have breached the league regulations. Players also had the option to miss the season and take a heavily reduced salary. ($150k stipend still......)
Because players are being forced to work against government guidelines, every day. Without any knowledge of what other players have done the night before, after quite a few have been shown to not give a s***. A 15 minute test arriving at the training ground whilst not 100% is a bare minimum.

Why would they want to leave?
Rashford has recently stated that he wants to spend his whole career at United.
That is refreshing to hear in the current age where money talks and club loyalty is dropped for the next big cut of a massive transfer fee. Whether that happens or a club offers United money they can't refuse remains to be seen. I would love to see him have his whole playing career at United and wish more players felt the same

not sure Mr Rashford is your typical young English football based on how hes acted the 12 mths or so. Id be surprised to see him leave thats for sure. Fernandes however.....
That's so sweet that anyone might actually believe that comment ?. Doesn't every player say that when asked the question by the local press? I bet even Pogba has said it at some point

i think being home grown for arguably the biggest club in England is a little different than Saints or Everton.
Players generally leave for two reasons if they’re decent. Money or prizes. He has as much chance of those at UTD as most places. Also, I can’t see what other super club would want him, or pay a fee that would tempt utd.
