African players shouldnt be allowed to play the re-arranged fixture, also Xhaka should still no play
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
Bunch of clams, right across the sport.
Oh well at least we can look forward to being hammered by chelsea 3x in a row next.
If they suddenly have enough players for the semi they should be made to forfeit that game and play us with the team they select.
4 games behind that we've somehow got to squeeze in between now and the end of the season.4 games in hand on Chelsea now, win those and we can go 2nd.![]()
I said I'd stop watching after the super lge stuff - yet here I still am.....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.![]()
Pretty sure we can postpone them until we fancy playing them.....4 games behind that we've somehow got to squeeze in between now and the end of the season.
Just insane.
Club statement
We regret to announce that Sunday’s north London derby against Arsenal has been postponed.
This follows an application from Arsenal to the Premier League on the basis of a combination of COVID, existing and recent injuries and players on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.
We are extremely surprised that this application has been approved.
We ourselves were disqualified from the European Conference League after a significant number of COVID cases meant we needed to reschedule a fixture and our application to move our Leicester fixture was not approved - only for it to be subsequently postponed when Leicester applied.
The original intention of the guidance - here - was to deal with player availability directly affected by COVID cases, resulting in depleted squads that when taken together with injuries would result in the club being unable to field a team.
We do not believe it was the intent to deal with player availability unrelated to COVID.
We may now be seeing the unintended consequences of this rule.
It is important to have clarity and consistency on the application of the rule.
Yet again fans have seen their plans disrupted at unacceptably short notice.
We shall once again send food deliveries to the local food banks to avoid unacceptable waste.
We are sincerely sorry for our fans - some of whom will have travelled great distances.
