An increasing number of Premier League clubs want fixtures suspended until 2022 report ESPN.

"Premier League chiefs have been informed that with rising case numbers being fuelled by the omicron variant, there would be support for suspending games until the weekend of 8-9 January, when FA Cup third-round ties are due to take place," they write.

"Under the proposal, Premier League games would restart on 15 January.

"Officially, the Premier League is still considering postponements on a case-by-case basis. The Premier League did not immediately respond to a request for comment when asked about plans for a shutdown by ESPN."

Very disappointing for those who've booked travel up there, but the right thing to do in the current clime.

Let's get everyone fit and healthy again.

I'm actually quite pleased about this from a selfish perspective.

I have a flat in Manchester and can now do some Xmas shopping instead. Or go for a walk along the canal to the water park.....

Good job it's ManU that have the Covid problem then - if it was us we'd be going up there with a team of U23s and U18s if that's all we had left.

According to the Guardian, Man United claimed that they'd only have 7 first team players available.

I dunno. If we played 11 vs 7 we'd probably have an outside chance of a win? Or at least a draw?
