On the BBC feed that dippers have asked for postponement of EFL Semi v Arsenal due to covid, very predictable is that

Could not make this shit up. What's up boys, don't fancy going up against arsenal eh? Shit-houses

Breaking news on BBC that EFL confirm postponement

Wonder how much say Arsenal had in the decision?

After all they are a big part of the equation. Could they have dug their heels in? There’s no love lost between the clubs, especially after the Luis Suarez transfer fiasco

Interesting to see whether they play the FA cup tie with a weakened team or request to pull that as well? Surely they will have to pull that now

They normally play the under 23s with Milner as captain in the FA cup! Hopefully the FA have more backbone and tell them to fulfill the fixture or forfeit it. Given the next couple of midweek games are now taken with the rearranged League Cup semi final, it doesn’t leave many options to play it, especially before the next round commences. And once European competition starts again it further diminishes the slots available.

That was where I was going re the kids. If they play, they're effectively saying we didn't want to put out a weakened team against the arse because they would lose. Playing against the shrews is the easier option so if the game goes ahead, they have taken the piss out of a system that allowed them to

Klopps players getting plenty of rest. Thought that's what he wanted.

They're running out of excuses so they're going down this route if all fails

Ive worked out cost of Chelsea's bench Vs ours when they played vermins and us Arseholes. I think ours come to around 220m and Chelsea's 208m.
It's not rest or covid, they've just bottled it, Kloppy can't handle the pressure, he's truly imploding.

I truly despise them with passion, more so than the rags.

They probably think they are 'entitled' to a bye into the final, just because a few have the covid.

Covid victims aren't they.

When all this omicron thing dies down they'll probably discover a scouse variant.

[Mase]

There shouldn’t be any COVID issues as Klopp was so adamant about the vaccine. Has it not worked Adolf? Still not signing anyone unvaxxed?

Am reading it's their current MD, Arnold who has been in charge of day-to-day activities. Nothing to see here, crack on mate, if you're already in charge of the day-to-day, then you will do for me.

Eight men who sued Manchester City after saying they were abused by paedophile Barry Bennell more than 30 years ago have lost a High Court fight.
The men said he abused them when they played for teams he coached in north-west England between 1979 and 1985.
Mr Justice Johnson ruled that it had not been shown that City was "legally responsible for Bennell's acts of abuse".
The lawyer who represented the men said they were "shocked and dismayed".
The men, now in their 40s and 50s, claimed Bennell was a scout for City when they were abused and argued the relationship between the paedophile and the Premier League club was "one of employment or one akin to employment".
City denied the claims and told the court the 68-year-old was a local scout in the mid-1970s but not when the men were abused.
Bennell, who is in prison after being convicted of numerous sexual offences against children in recent years, denied being linked to City in the 1980s when he gave evidence during the High Court trial.

I really feel for the guys that have had their lives ruined by this monster. But blaming City because they previously employed him isn’t right, and correctly got thrown out.

I'd have done the nonce in when I grew up - though I've read that of course he only picked on quieter, weaker boys. I'm afraid that I'm a bit old school Mase - most of us had pretty traumatic childhoods in some way back in the day - Can't help thinking some people only came forward declaring a ruined life when they heard the 2 words Manchester and City
