An increasing number of Premier League clubs want fixtures suspended until 2022 report ESPN.

"Premier League chiefs have been informed that with rising case numbers being fuelled by the omicron variant, there would be support for suspending games until the weekend of 8-9 January, when FA Cup third-round ties are due to take place," they write.

"Under the proposal, Premier League games would restart on 15 January.

"Officially, the Premier League is still considering postponements on a case-by-case basis. The Premier League did not immediately respond to a request for comment when asked about plans for a shutdown by ESPN."

Gotta keep you guys on your toes somehow!

Not sure I should be pleased, but I am... our season was looking to sink and this might just buy us some time (and a new striker!?)

The fact that Bissouma will serve his suspension against Brentford instead makes me... sad.

Good news (I think)

Good news but bad news for all us traveling fans who bought Advance rail tickets for the game.

Very disappointing for those who've booked travel up there, but the right thing to do in the current clime.

Let's get everyone fit and healthy again.

I'm actually quite pleased about this from a selfish perspective.

I have a flat in Manchester and can now do some Xmas shopping instead. Or go for a walk along the canal to the water park.....

Sensible, and thankfully decision made early to avoid getting halfway to the game before learning that it was off.

And those of us for whom the decision comes a day too late to get a refund on their hotel bookings …..

Good job it's ManU that have the Covid problem then - if it was us we'd be going up there with a team of U23s and U18s if that's all we had left.

 

[US Seagull]

According to the Guardian, Man United claimed that they'd only have 7 first team players available.

I dunno. If we played 11 vs 7 we'd probably have an outside chance of a win? Or at least a draw?

 

[Is it PotG?]

Yup, a financial hit on the hotel front.

First world problems eh....

Almost certainly for the best.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Good news, more shooting practice!
