EPL Matchday 26

[Bradesmaen]

game could be called off, apparently weather in and around manchester is awful.

Only chance West Ham had was it going ahead.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Will that actually happen? I mean, it makes sense, so I guess the FA will decide otherwise

Unlikely because they haven't had a proper mental break which is what this week off is about. It'll be rescheduled to a mid week probably pending on City's progression in the Champions league

Is there anywhere to listen to the EPL on radio in Australia now that MacQuarie is not doing it anymore?

I would argue the midweek fixture is more taxing.

Is Sheff Utd vs Bournemouth still happening?

Probably but unlikely to happen

 

[Bradesmaen]

Is Sheff Utd vs Bournemouth still happening?

At this point yes. It's windy and wet, but it's not like a cyclone. We copped it yesterday and through the night in Ireland and it wasn't that bad.

 

[Zidane98]

Coincidentally the Sydney derby was postponed yesterday due 24 hours of torrential rain.

 

[moomba]

The weather is quite nice now. Not too windy, bit of sun out. Was dreading going out before, gutted the game is off now.

Fraser being a sook here, nothing in that challenge

Best bet is Talksport on iHeart radio. I don’t know of any Australian stations that broadcast.

Macquarie was taking the Talksport feed.

There is also BBC radio on iHeart. Not sure whether it is BBC 1, BBC 2, BBC 3 or BBC 4 but one of them has games and the added bonus of the John Motson commentary. Although you may need a VPN set to a UK location as I did when listening on holiday in Canada recently.

 

[DBAH0]

Good result again with Bournemouth losing.

Hopefully they'll reschedule the City game right in the middle of fixtures for them and they have to end up resting a few players.

People on social media are asking why the Blades game went ahead, but citys didnt. FFS

It is going to throw fantasy leagues into disarray.

I remember 'back in my day' (08-12 probably) snow postponements were reasonably common, and you'd end up with some stacked double gameweeks to catch up on games.

City post a winter break, we'll get killed...

 

[moomba]

Common sense? Where did the real FA go?

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Doesn’t matter when City play their league games, they can’t win the league or finish outside the top four. Matters far more to West Ham

 

[Lebbo73]

Red cards:
Alisson - 1
Pickford - 0

I like how he's complaining but then realises that's he's just actually s**t.

Pickford: 133 games, 34 clean sheets, 198 goals conceded, 11 errors leading to a goal (one highlighted in video above).
Alisson: 55 games, 30 clean sheets, 28 goals conceded, 3 errors leading to a goal).

Pretty decent effort by Alisson considering he has an average CB in VVD playing in front of him according to Brades.
