Aston Villa vs Chelsea Pre-Match Thread (Match Postponed)

[sinbad]

For one reason or another I rarely get to VP, but when I do go, with my son, we always win (in  the 16 - 17 season we went to two home matches: Cardiff and Norwich).
This is our first visit this season (it's a special birthday treat(!) for me) so I have to say, against all the odds, we are going to get a result.

Unless of course it is played behind closed doors. Or postponed.
UTV!

Postponement is inevitable.

[Drummond]

Postponement is inevitable.

Hold that thought.

Postponement is inevitable.

Hold that thought.

Knowing our luck, perish the thought!

Why are people picking Hourihane?

Marginally better than that fraud Luiz and ahem...Lansbury, Drinky and Jota.

Us 2 Them 1, fuck 'em.

That’s the spirit!

Chelsea didn't train today as somebody close to the squad was taken ill.

Terry?

Apparently a member of Chelsea’s coaching  staff has symptoms of coronavirus, so they’ve cancelled their training and sent the players home.

Terry?

Drinkwater. Severe headache and forehead bruising.

[Legion]

That must have escalated slowly.

[OzVilla]

Very well important game, I’d be a damn sight happier outside of the relegation zone than inside while all this is going on.

[supertom]

If they cancel with less than 24 hours notice, do we get awarded the 3 points?

Thank you for update .
I would therefore conclude that the match should be postponed .
And trust that there is no way the match will go ahead due to risk of further spreading.
Aston Villa football club should take that decision.
Despite the government advice, of people who have come into contact with somebody who might be infected are not considered cases and will only be tested if they also become unwell.
I think it's unwise.

Hudson - odoi tested positive ,game 100% off now

[cdbearsfan]

Yep. Can't see this going ahead now.
