*** Tottenham vs Arsenal OMT POSTPONED ***

[NaijaSpurs]

It all part of what the game has turned into. Manchester United had a plane crash in 1958 and had to play games that season. The PL is there for 4 or 5 clubs and the rest are just mugs to fill out the fixtures. The media are only concerned with the clubs that give them big numbers, go to any pub and you can hear the expert who've never been to a game or played since school laying down the law on football according to what they've been told by Sky.

You are not making any logical sense. The decision was made by the Premier League, it has nothing to do with the media, I can assure you Sky would have wanted that match to go ahead tomorrow

Absolute flimflam.

Basically gaining an advantage for having four players at AFCON.

Football is so plastic these days. More concerned about knees and rainbows that actually playing a match.

Also.....I'd quite like to stop agreeing with Gary Neville....thank

The problem with this is if you draw the line now and another club has covid ‘absences’ before they play Goons then they get to take advantage twice. I should have known better as I really thought they wouldn’t call this off to avoid setting a precedent given other teams have had requests turned down. clams

Last week Bayern Munich had to play a league match and non of the teenagers on their bench had ever played league football. They played the match, they lost, but they did not bitch because in Germany the do not postpone matches because of injuries, suspensions or COVID etc, those are the rules

 

[Robbo]

Another farcial decision from the PL.

I'm not at all surprised. Like every other time they've had to make a decison between a sensible and stupid alternative, they go with the stupid. And then in true Trumpish fashion they move along as if everything is fine, never considering the precedent one decision might have for future dilemmas.

 

[billyiddo]

I think it’s important to point out we would do the same.

This is on the PL 100 percent and not Arsenal

I imagine there’s a few clubs today such as Chelsea/Leeds/Wolves being as annoyed as we are at the league.

Yeah can't really argue with them taking advantage of the poor rules when they're so short

Of course I'm not making any sense, I'm a mug who has paid to watch, play and watch football nearly 70 years and my ideals are outdated, what's the point in being fair and treating everyone the same? Let Boris do what he wants, free the Buckingham palace one, market forces must rule, it's all about the money fudge the rest.

 

[FolkestoneSpur]

Because the league have said yes, nothing wrong in asking

Making it tribal won’t help the situation improve. It’s a complete farce.

Ok, so no complaints then when they roll us over having petitioned the Premier league for the game to be replayed once all their AFCON players are back.
How can it not be tribal? They have form.

 

[elyid]

If AFCON wasn’t on this match would go ahead. How is that fair?

Someone should sign 11 African players now, as you’ll just get your matches postponed until they are back.

Because Leicester did it as well, it’s a bigger issue than Spurs v Arsenal.

I’m annoyed, but not at Arsenal.

 

[Eriktheviking]

African players shouldnt be allowed to play the re-arranged fixture, also Xhaka should still no play

 

[Spoonman]

I'm waiting for Klopps reaction to this. They play Brentford tomorrow.

If Arsenal raise a team for the 2nd leg on Thursday and win after having a week off I think Klopp may blow his top!

No chance of any such logic from the PL.

Also I see a few people mention the precedent. Blatantly the next time this happens to an unfashionable club they will just move the goal posts and pretend this didn’t happen.

I am not saying you should not be annoyed or frustrated, just suggesting that direct your ire at the right parties i.e. the Premier League clowns

Good point. Bit late now, but Liverpool still have COVID and players at AFCON, they should apply to have their game postponed too

I’d love that.

Nobody is saying it is fair, just saying that the PL is run by tacoS

4 games in hand on Chelsea now, win those and we can go 2nd.

 

[yiddo37]

Back to the goons, totally expected outcome. Just hope we beat them when it's rearranged.

 

[mephitis]

Getting really tinkled off and disapointed with the game i have played, worked in and supported since i was 13, its become a joke and i have lost the love i have had for nearly 60 years. Its a tinkle take and corrupt in so many ways.

With you all the way on this one mate.
