[QUOTE="weasel, post: 550488, member: 14"] Not unless you won those four games by 34 goals! Pool's GD would keep you third. Pool also have a game in hand. But I do agree with your last sentence. Not sure about that Arsenal postponement. It sort of sums up the way the covid postponements are going now. Arsenal have 3 or 4 away at AFCON, have just loaned AMN to Roma and have Xhaka suspended. Unsure on injuries, but add in ONE covid case and they get it postponed. Hmmmm. It is within the letters of the rules, but it kinda feels like it is against the spirit of the rules. That's not a dig at Arsenal, they are just the latest club to do it. I said something a week or so ago about Newcastle and Burnley getting games postponed for questionable reasons, and Pool had the issue with the false positives, albeit the players who tested positive were still ineligible due to PL rules until after the negative tests came in which was the day after the game in question. It is getting a bit farcical now when ONE covid case is enough to get a game called off. The PL have made a rod for their own backs here. They should turn round now and say, play with u21's or u18's to make up the numbers and only allow exceptions if the whole club has covid (or no fit keepers), but they won't and we'll end up with some club playing Tues, Thurs, Sun for two weeks at the end of the season cos they still have 12 games to play before the final weekend. I was thinking earlier, if these rules were in place last year, Pool wouldn't have played a game from October until May. They had a few COVID cases and 3 CB's out, along with a procession of other players. I think it was 11 or 12 at one point. That would have been interesting. Trying to finish a season when you have 20 postponed games and a WC starting in a few weeks. [/QUOTE]
