I'd be surprised if 50% of the fixtures over Christmas go ahead.

I'd like to see more transparency from all the clubs and the Premier League regarding exactly how many players from each club have got Covid for the games that are called off. Don't know why its such a big secret. Suppose there's more chance of Harry Kane getting a red card than that happening.

Conte used the situation to spring a nice tactical surprise. Meanwhile he knew exactly who wouldn't be playing against him, the three key players that make it all work.

It is open for abuse as well.

If they "pretend" they have covid, then some teams get extra time for their players to recover from injury and others are rested when they play again.

Can't find the Levante v Valencia match anywhere on betfair. Soccerstats and my bookie say game is in play yet Betfair and Surebet have no odds. Not sure why that is

Yeah, you'd like to think that the Premier League require proof of positive tests but who knows!

If I didn't know any better I would think you were making fun of Derek :) The other day he was searching for Porto (THE BIGGEST UNMISTAKABLE PORTUGUESE CLUB) under Spain :D

Btw you can't miss these markets if you look at Today's football page on Betfair and sort the games by Matched Amount, that's my bookmarked BF homepage. Then ofc when you click on a match there it will say what league/country it is etc.

Thanks I will do that, but for some reason I had a brain fade.

I'm going to potentially trade Arsenal v Sunderland, never traded any kind of football for many months.

Finding a new arrow for your quiver could never be a bad thing! :)

Those North London sods have just taken the lead and made my football foray a succesful one.
