PRE/POST-MATCH DISCUSSION, LIVE CHAT AND ANALYSIS



2020/21 Premier League Match 17
3rd January, Sunday 2020
Stamford Bridge
16:30 Kick Off (UK time)

[Jase 43,479]

Not sure if this match is going ahead or not - nothing has been said of it so far - but let's just assume it will...

[Blue Armour 4,158]

Hmm...technically they should be allowed to face us as long as they have at least 14 players (incl. GK) that have tested non-negative.

Can understand if they are still uncertain about the numbers and want to prevent infection spread, or if they run out of time to prepare for the match, but anything less shouldn't be cause to cancel (unless the PL itself decides to suspend the season)

haha

Oh boy...kinda a good thing if goes ahead as just be delaying it. But if that many people are postive seems unwise. Especially if all been in contact.

In other news, looks like the Morecambe game will be postponed...

I wouldn't be surprised if Morecambe are pressured to forfeit the game, much like Leyton Orient did in the league cup.

Are there replay's in the FA Cup this season or have they been scrapped? If they haven't then the game can be moved to the space afforded to the replay but if they have, when would this likely be fit back in before the 4th round?

Replays have been scrapped.

I thought so. If Morecambe can't fulfil the game, I think it'll be forfeited in all likelihood.

[Laylabelle 9,292]

I dont think it'll just Morecambe though. Yesterday loads of games got called off so if still in same boat come FA Cup be surprised if all those fixtures be forfeited. Might be wrong. See whats said.

 

[Milan 17,835]

Lose this and we have the exact amount of points in corresponding fixtures like last season. Progress!

Ah crap. Though we're not going to improve drastically soo might as well get on with it

[iceboy 992]

Looks like game on.

[Fernando 6,375]

I'm expecting to win this game. 

It looks like we are going the same motion as last year. 

If it happens the same then we will beat City 

[lucio 5,370]

We played very well against them last season , both in the home win and for the 1st half at the ethihad. Maybe that’s some consolation 

[Special Juan 27,093]

The noises coming out say the club are behind FL, that's until this game and we get fucking pummelled.

[Laylabelle 9,292]

City aren't that great..we are even worse sooo maybeeee. They know they have to up their game a lot so be nice if they do!
