GWT: EPL Matchweek 7 - Postponed

Ronaldo and Lucas Moura jesus christ

Most Brazilian players support Bolsonaro. Typical uneducated footballers.

One thing that's great about Richarlison is that he is a vocal critic of Bolsonaro. Brings up a lot of political and social issues.

From providing medicine and housing to speaking out against killings, the Everton forward has found the self-assurance to take on injustice

There is no CL matchday 2 and I don't know where to put it so I'll put it in the postponed thread:

How about CL matches this tuesday/wednesday .... they aren't postponed are they?

Why would they be?

 

[KlausJopling]

They aren’t. Only game that has been changed is Rangers game which has been moved to Wednesday and they aren’t allowing away fans. Due to lack of police resources.

 

[LOGiK]

The ten day morning thing for uk...

Is that at Ibrox? Why'd they move it to wed?

 

[KlausJopling]

Is that at Ibrox? Why'd they move it to wed?

Yes, in Scotland. The reason was due to a lack of resources due to events caused by her death.

 

[bluesfan94]

Yeah, but the mourning period doesn't mean nothing is happening in the UK. the FA chose to postpone this weekend's slate but it wasn't a mandate and there's no reason UEFA would do the same

Yes, in Scotland. The reason was due to a lack of resources due to events caused by her death.

And this is likely due to the fact that she died in Scotland so Operation Unicorn happened and a lot more is taking place at Holyroodhouse than it otherwise would

I’d say everything through the Arsenal Thursday game is for sure safe. The weekend games should be alright, but hard to say for sure with Police assignments or other preparations, especially the Sunday games.

 

[Jussi]

It's very likely that all matches scheduled to be played in London will get moved due to lack of police. So Brentford-Arsenal and Spurs- Leicester as well.

 

[robertmac43]

I wonder if we get Christmas day games for some of the London teams. Got to fit them in somewhere

Nah. I'd say it's more likely that PL teams will be given a chance to skip out on the league cup.

I doubt that. TV rights & sponsors would not love that.

 

[Savant]

They are going to junk the FA Cup replays and squeeze accordingly. Selfishly I am okay if they move LFC @ Chelsea because I will be in an airplane. Fixture calendar is going to look like trash. Nothing else to say

I've only been to London once, but "lack of police" is not a phrase I'd ever think I'd associate with it

 

[Jovavic]

Why can't they move the postponed games till after the world cup?

The Queen's funeral on Monday requires more resources.

That's actually the more likely scenario.

No way around it really. Hopefully, we don't a massive increase in injuries due to yet another congested year.

Since the first lock down stopped these guys have basically played for 2 years strihgt. It's crazy.

Meh. Replays suck anyway.

No one cares about the athletes.

1. I have one up in my next fifa game... not happy about it either =P

2. I do. I'm struggling having to watch the NFL instead of EPL matches from the weekend =P

**quick add:
Not sure why they don't use more players with the congested schedule. It's not like they don't have players outside of their .... what... 11 + subs...

 

[Jussi]

United - Leeds postponed due to police forces required elsewhere.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

7 of 10 games will go ahead next weekend.

Postponed:

Brighton - Crystal Palace

Chelsea - Liverpool

Man Utd - Leeds

Even thought Conte has complained about schedule compression, he understood the reason
