They don't

The EFL will make the decision, not the FA.

Exactly

The EFL will make the decision, not the FA.

And the rules say the match should be rescheduled. It was only in the first four rounds a team would be kicked out.


5 Non-fulfilment of Fixtures

5.1 A Club which is unable to fulfil its obligation to complete a Competition match in Round One to (and including) Round Four due to either:

5.1.1 that Club’s Player(s) having returned a positive CAT result and self-isolating in accordance with the action plan set out in the Return to Play/Return to Training Protocols resulting in the Club not having a sufficient number of Players to fulfil the fixture; or

5.1.2 any requirements or directions of the UK Government and/or by any public authority,

shall forfeit the fixture, pay the opposing Club’s expenses in accordance with Rule 5.8 and the opposing team shall receive a bye into the next round of the Competition.

In other news, looks like Super Frankie might have worked out that Giroud is better than Abraham

It will also mean that they won't be able to play their LC Semi Final.

Following the precedent of chucking out Orient for failing to fulfill their LC fixture earlier in the season, shouldn't Man City be kicked out of the LC now?

According to the BBC the game will be rearranged

Is it crazy to suggest Man Utd could win the league? They seem to be able to find wins at the absolute last second, and have made LOADS of comebacks. I am genuinely starting to wonder if they can do it.

Utd with a fergie time winner

 

[jb5000]

Looking at their form since signing Fernándes, no it's not crazy

Fergie time has also made a reappearance.... If it ever went away.

A fantastic signing.

 

[City Fan]

A fantastic signing.

He’s a massive **** though.

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

He’s a massive **** though.

From other fans’ perspective, so are Jamie Vardy, Didier Drogba and Diego Costa. All superb players in their own way.

 

[mabrah]

...and I thought I was the only one that couldn't stand Drogba. I feel slightly less alone now.

 

[jb5000]

You're a fan, then?

 

[City Fan]

But they’re all shithouses. I like all of them.

Fernandes is different to those. He’s a little diving, injury faking, unbearable **** with a face you wouldn’t tire of smacking.

We’ve massively underachieved in the year 2020, no matter how much some want to spin it.

So he’s more of a Luis Suarez?

 

[jb5000]

Well it's a good job that's not the way seasons run then, isn't it

 

[City Fan]

So he’s more of a Luis Suarez?

Bingo.
