^ Yeah but still, that’s a lot of fixtures postponed in just one weekend. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many matches postponed since I started really watching football.

Everton vs LCFC is postponed too. So it’s a total of 6 matches postponed. Wow... And I think that’s just the start. The season could be in shambles in a few weeks.

because of the current state of the pandemic. It's normal to have a few games postponed. and it could be even worse for the rest of the premier league games.
not just a week or two. there is a high chance that we will see it again next year if the situation worsens.
we hope all will be well.

But that’s the thing. Having this many matches postponed is not normal. And I think it wouldn’t be the last for the season imho. Think about how they’ll reschedule those fixtures. It’s going to be a nightmare especially for the clubs that are still in the UCL, League Cup and FA Cup.

Anyway, watching Man City vs Newcastle United rn. No bet but City to win both halves should be around even money before the match started.

A nightmare is the right word, especially if we take into account the fact that nobody knows when the league might be able to return to more or less normal. If the new Covid variant keeps spreading at exponential pace, I doubt that all those games can be rescheduled anytime soon. For the CL teams that is definitely a horror scenario.

Here’s the thing. I think Boxing Day fixtures will be postponed cos of covid. Hell... I think all the fixtures between Boxing Day and some of the fixtures before the new year could be postponed too. And worst case scenario, the EPL could start shutting down the season for fans.

I hope fans don’t riot. Lol.
