How much will Coronavirus (COVID-19) impact Aston Villa's season?

We've played a game less than Spurs already. It will be postponed, just Mourinho looking to snide a win.

Only way Spurs would beat us os if we played the kids.

The miserable c**t would still park the bus and try and nick it on the break. Tony Pulis with a suntan.

He's got a cheek too. Three of his players, Lo Celso, Lamela & Reguilon were photographed at a New Year's Party where they could easily have contracted Covid.

They can’t have us play if we don’t have enough for first teamers. Precedent has already been set to postpone games, we’ve been involved with one. You can’t move the goalposts - no pun intended - now.

I thought we were his favourite team to watch. If we play the kids we can't give his team the footballing lesson he wants to see. The game should be postponed so we can beat them in entertaining fashion.

Thomas Frank, Brentford's head coach has tested positive. He was going round hugging all the Spurs players at full time in the week, so they might have their own problems anyway.

You don't think...or are suggesting...that Mourinho..."the" bastion of integrity and sportsmanship may want his games cancelled in about 10 days?

Yes because I'm the only one who thinks it.
Not one other person when hearing such news , villa supporters or otherwise, would have a thought that oh is Grealish involved at all with this first team outbreak. Yes no one but me. I think on this occasion my thought is no so unique.  Its certainly fair and reasonable however annoying it is to you.
Upon such thought theres what i think what you term evidence. Its from history and used a character profile.
At least I can be balanced because he's a great great footballer no question just concerned he hasn't to do with this situation.
Perfectly reasonable thought to have given his character.
I find what you write naive to that i can't suggest such but thats your perogative
I will await the truth and it was only speculation something you have also done with suggested 'evidence "

I'm now not sure your terms of using ' evidence' is being used correctly as its suiting more for your narrative -which I even said was good excellent info as you wrote it. I understand and see it as considered,  constructive opinion.
So i  really wish you would lay off me and if i or anyone wanted to say I find Jack grealish off field character not saintly I can. Like you're trying to censor me to have no bad word said agiainst him because he's such a great footballer.  Well to me that which is grossly unfair to say I couldn't speculate

Your post is literally the only thing I've seen on here, facebook, twitter and 2-3 other forums implying that he's responsible, justify it all you like but the truth is you've got it in your head that Grealish has an off field problem and you use that belief to over-react to everything he does, even going so far as to implicate him in things where there's no suggestion from anywhere that he was the problem.

You might think it's considered and constructive but it's neither, it's baseless speculation that adds no value to the discussion at all.

I was glancing at a Spurs forum to see their thoughts on next week's probable cancellation, lots of them seem to be blaming him as well.

However, I would caveat this by saying that they also appear to all be absolute morons.

I thought that was a pre-requisite for Spurs?

To be fair I don't go on the forums of other clubs so they might be saying it, but 41 years of not giving a shit what spurs fans think hasn't done me wrong so far.

C.E. Purslow has stated in an interview that 10 of the first team squad tested positive.
https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-coronavirus-covid-19-19587652

14 positive test - of which 10 are players - is pretty significant. I'm not sure how many cases Fulham had, but this is well above other Premier League clubs so far. To go from 0 to 10 in a few days is alarming.

Staggering really seems Purslow is out on PR duty to contain this story thanks good to share that.

It's the biggest outbreak in the Premier League
And something isn't right -10 players?

And I'm sorry many football followers are going to be saying Grealish
is involved somewhere
 I just hope he wasn't the protagonist of a belated gathering for new years or something. Because that really does him no excuse what so ever Or in fact that it was any player but he more than most needs to keep sensible. Which he struggled with in past and would be quite the uneccessary problem to him And us and a reflection on something I've had concerns on his off pitch attitude.

Ok so if that the case 10 players it won't be long before its out to who they are and what happened. If there was anything untoward.  Because no other club has had 10 players so whats the issue with simply following the rules with these players

Ultimately I hope they are all ok and well but at this time hearing such news is really off putting about how footballers are being
No surprise as behaviour of many a footballer is despicable but why our club.

Dear oh dear.

Hi footy. I wish you would lay off putting out theories that unruly &  unprofessional behaviour is rife and the likely cause of this outbreak. Footballers will encounter many non football persons in day to day football activities. Just as likely to be the coach driver or a chef that introduced it.

Jack's made himself an easy target. Any impropriety is headline news and he's now stuck with the reputation.

If we assume the Spurs and Everton games are off. Jan 20th vs man city would require a remarkable recovery for 9 players to be as fit and athletic as they were against man utd. Also the amount of planning and preparation needed to get a good result there will need a full weeks training. Not sure we will be able to compete in games for quite some time after this. Sadly

It depends if they get ill.
