Here's hoping this doesn't turn into one of those "he'll be back in 4 weeks" but then drags out for months without knowing what's occuring scenarios...

Come on Brighton!

It does seem to have gone beyond the 'giving the FA the benefit of the doubt' stage now. I could see why they wanted to wait for the 4th and 5th round draws to take place in order to see how the fixtures mapped out over the next month or so, but I can't see what additional decision making criteria they're now waiting upon. Thinking out loud, maybe both Saints and Leeds have agreed, in principle, to reschedule next week's PL game but the FA are now waiting for Shrewsbury to get the 'all clear' on the covid front?

Come on JRod!

I've got an inkling we may avoid relegation this season (Next season however.... )

Source?

Oops. Does this mean the bestest are now back into boycott / don't care mode for this tournament until further notice?

I had a hunch there'd be a simple explanation

Chartwell's CEO appears to have disputed the figures being quoted. How does one deduce who is telling the truth?

Come on Burnley & Wolves!

I fully appreciate that Guido isn't anywhere near as impartial as the New Statesmen... but it would appear there is possibly two sides to this story... https://order-order.com/2021/01/12/food-box-firm-under-fire-from-rashford-is-part-of-his-own-food-poverty-task-force/

Given Spurs are in Europe, I'm guessing they have fewer 'free' slots than we do between now and the end of the season, ergo it's more of a case of 'now or never' with them? Given a choice, I reckon Ralph would rather reschedule Leeds for a weekday sometime in, say, March or April, than sometime this week with little more than 24 hours notice.

Given how meticulous Ralph's pre-match planning appears to be, I'm not convinced he'd agree with you that planning for a match is largely a generic exercise....

Not very good with figures then... How very reassuring....

Come on Chorley!!

Meh

To provide maximum fixture planning flexibility in the current unprecedented circumstances? (Just a wild hunch... )

Print out the photo, strip naked, take a selfie of yourself holding up the printout (being sure to cover up any rude body parts), post the selfie to social media then copy and paste a link to the post on here.

I saw it suggested somewhere in social media land that they were waiting to see who we are drawn against in rounds 4 and 5 (as per the draw tonight) to see how much room for manoeuvre there was for shuffling fixtures around (i.e. if we drew a team that's playing in Europe, then there would be less scope for fitting things in)
