We will be out of the FA cup on January the 9th around 4 o’clock.

No doubt Ifti’s head is rapidly growing and approaching the enormous size of Kopstar’s.
He’s going to be expecting a crack at the PL after his stellar performance in the Kanga cup.
Hard not to sympathise with KS though, who’s put in a run of top notch performances until being undone by a combination of inept refereeing and covid.

The FA or whoever have decided to postpone the next match until the match thread starting dispute has been resolved.
I suggest pistols at dawn.

I thought the reffing performances and health of opposing players was down to the Pre-match thread starter?
He needs some game time, no!

Think @Bekloppt was talking about our players, not Tottenham’s. But yeah, I think all of those circumstances come within the purview of the thread starter. The only view that’s relevant is whether, in the circumstances, the result was a good one or not?
True, but it’s not our players getting covid which has lead to games getting postponed, but other teams
Sure…but I think we’re talking about the Spurs game when we were missing VvD, Fabinho, Thiago (through covid) and Henderson (through sickness/cold).
I do find it interesting how certain clubs only need to miss a few players for matches to be postponed at their convenience - and I’m not sure how/why injured players are factored into that number, particularly given we were missing an entire squadron of senior CBs for most of last season.

So KS, in all honesty, do you think there’s anything that you could have done in your thread starting that might have led to a better result against Spurs?
There has been some comment on the delay in posting the thread, do you think that might have somehow affected the ref’s performance?
Are you feeling pressure after Ifti’s dramatic showing last night? Do you consider him a serious rival? Are you considering any change in your thread opening style to cope with the threat from this flamboyant upstart?
I’ve been worried that this result was coming for some time tbf. Although we’d won every game for which I’d started a thread this season, the performances were getting poorer and poorer. From record-breaking wins against United at Old Trafford, Everton at Goodison, Arsenal at home, and the thrashing of Southampton, we started to lose our fluency against Wolves away, followed by more wins against Villa and Newcastle at home. We were winning, but our performances were gradually becoming less dominant.
Sure, it still needed the most appallingly corrupt/inept (delete as applicable) refereeing to bring that momentous run to an end…but I can’t pretend that we hadn’t begun to stutter. In normal circumstances, should we have won that game against Spurs? Of course. Even with a makeshift midfield. But it seems that my midas touch was not enough to overcome being stiffed on a red card and a stonewall penalty.
I’ve had a good run. P 8. W 7. D1. GF 24. GA 4. GD +20. Pts 22. I’m happy to bow out unbeaten and let someone else take the reins. Maybe a poll?
Should I be the one to start the next PL match thread?

Think we should wait to see “when” the next PL match will be!

Good point. It’ll result in your game time being reduced. As long as you won’t hand in a transfer request…

To all successful match thread starters, always check your deck chairs during a good run…might be a towel draped on it…

We playing Leicester tomorrow and still no match day thread? Wtf .
Especially now Klopp and Rodgers haven’t mentioned any new cases.
Every chance it could happen like but we will at least have a midfield
