Leicester postponement

[blue to the bone]

Surely they cannot ask for a second time postponement?

They have

Gnashers doesn't fancy it.

Tell them to look at the team we had to put out (and bench) at Stamford Bridge and tell them to get on with it

The FA have made a rod for their own backs here. But we can’t complain as we’d be doing the same. And did.

Its the Premier League

The FA told everyone they had to get on with it this weekend

Good point.

I don’t know if the positions of the players are taken into account? You could have enough players but no players in a certain position. Leicester only having 1 defender left could be part of their appeal.

Personally I’m not too bothered if the match is postponed or not as we looked sluggish yesterday and we had the extra time - but to be fair to those who are going they must not leave the decision too late.

we we we we. Do you really believe we think you’re an Everton fan ffs. Have the balls to say you’re a Leicester fan. There’s a few on here today

They've got 5 players away at AFCON which is probably why they've asked.

Shouldn't be allowed but I don't really care enough tbh

Not against Chelsea we didn’t. And Burnley we had 5/6 covid and got told at first we had to play. I bet Leicester haven’t got 5/6 covid cases

Do they even have one?

Who knows and the premier league probably don’t know, it’s a farce. Pulling the covid card

The fact Leicester were able to put out a ‘squad’ yesterday and won convincingly against a fellow Premier League side has to go against them surely?

Why can they not name the same squad and face us?

PL have said in their own rules any under 21s that played yesterday aren't classed as "available players" for PL games

So what? They can still be named in a matchday squad and play.

This is obviously the loophole Leicester are exploiting to cry it off.

It's taking the pee now seems less to do with Covid and more to do with whether teams fancy the fixture or not that isn't acceptable. I would rather the game went ahead our schedule is going to be ridiculous and we are desperate for a win
