What we've learned is that covid doesn't kick in instantly so I would be cautious with this.

If the have it and they come in contact with the squad and infect other then we are truly fucked with our schedule.


They didn’t travel mate. They’ve been in England all this time.


Ah, lol. Had the impression they were involved in that shit.
Then fuck FIFA, the FA, Brazil and Argentina.
And Leicester. What a fucking shithole.


Leicester is a bigger slum than Rio.

So Brazil FA has asked for its own players to be banned for 5 days.
Maybe the Brazil players in question should take extended gardening leave from international football.

Frankly I do not trust the Premier League or the other clubs involved. I wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised if the other clubs say to City, "Yeah, we are going to play our Brazilian players" and they subsequently didn't, or if the Premier League promise us we could play them and then go back on their word, leaving us in the shit. If we played Sunday, I'd be more tempted to play them, but with us playing first (same time as the vermin) and fred being total shite anyway...

I wouldn't play them. Carson and Mahrez/Sterling can replace the two players for one match and save us a lot of bother.

It would also leave the possibility of us hammering the Premier League later if it transpires the players are in fact allowed to play on Sunday after a mysterious solution is found between when we play and when the dippers play.

Yes, I know I am a bit paranoid. ;)

This is total madness as if we had released our players they could'nt have played coz we are on Brazil's red list of countries so they would have had to quarantine for 14 days on arrival in Brazil so I don't see the Brazilian FA's argument.

Just because you are paranoid, does not mean they are not out to get you.

That's because they don't have one. This was always a political row as Argentina could have their PL based players and Brazil couldn't.

Can't see how that affects the rule that anyone going to Brazil from Britain needs to do 14 days quarantine.
