So if they were to cancel Thursday's game because it's unfair on us should they cancel Sunday's game between Tottenham and Liverpool because Tottenham have even more rest than Liverpool? When exctly should Tottenham start playing games again?

 

Maybe they shouldn't.  Just disband them.

Exactly. Hardly a rest when you've got a potentially life ending virus.

[Andy11111]

I was being slightly sarcastic, I have it,  I'm resting, I'm sat watching the telly.

Seems like the only fair option. Not sure Spurs fans would be too against it

I think, to some extent, we laid down a marker against Napoli and Newcastle. We announced we had several people with COVID and played anyway. If the Premier League thought it was okay for us to play without 7 first team players, why not Tottenham? That will be our argument.

 

There are few places on the calendar to replay the game. Tottenham doesn't care about the ECL (and probably wouldn't mind a forfeit and therefore exit), so will have dates available for replays. Hopefully, we won't. 

 

This isn't even a "ha ha, let's play a decimated Tottenham" argument. We are also decimated. But it's ridiculous that the Rich 6, with the deepest squads in the league, get to call off games because of COVID outbreaks, but smaller clubs, with fewer reinforcements, are told to play on. 

I still haven't forgotten at the very start of COVID we announced we had 3 players tested positive for it (the first club to do so) and the PL/FA were still resisting calls to stop the season.

 

Arsenal announce Arteta's got it and straight away the whole thing is kiboshed.

Harry Kane hasn’t been quite his usual, prolific, self this season. 
 

I bet he’s desperate for this fixture to go ahead so that he can play himself into a bit of form. 

He’ll be PL top scorer by Friday morning !

A win, any win, in this game puts us above Tottenham (although they will have games in hand).

Spurs youngsters? Their academy has been shut down as well because of the huge outbreak. 

 

It feels odd to be concerned about the welfare of Spurs players, but I have to admit to feeling uneasy about rushing back players who have had Covid to come back and play full matches this quickly. I am surprised that the PFA haven't kicked up more of a fuss about it all.

Seems the footballing authorities are clueless on what to do and our letting Spurs do whatever Spurs say

They definitely need some Covid specific rules relating to this, and don't really understand why Man U have called off their match. In the case of Spurs though, if we had been in the position they were in (with that number of first teamers out, plus u23s out of action), we would 100% be called for games to be postponed.

Do we know they have actually had covid or forced to self isolate due to being vaccine hesitant ? 

 

Have they had more players unavailable than us?

Only going on the news reports, but yes, they stated players tested positive for Covid. And it was said to be 8 or 9 I think. Our were described as 'a couple have tested positive' the others were just ill.

Having had a quick glimpse of their forum, they are a deluded bunch aren't they. Spewing stuff like:

 

'oh why do their fans hate us so much - they are insignificant to us' and then saying stuff like

 

'Leicester are extremely annoying one of the chaviest fanbases around. Hope we smash them' 

 

'Who here hates Leicester and their cunting fans ? They are obsessed with us. Take one look at their forums and the anti Spurs bile is rife every time we play them. Can’t stand them.' 

 

"Let's ****ing murder 'em!"

To be fair, the spurs hate does confuse me a little. To me they are just another club who, apart from a few months in 2016, we have never had any kind of rivalry with.

[Hoopla10]

Is there a lot of Spurs hate on here? I've not really noticed it. It feels more like most posters view them as a joke club. An also-ran club with a lot of money.

Never felt more proud. And do people use the word Chav still, I thought that died ages ago?

Nothing to do with 2016 for me. 

 

I was trapped in convent garden in 99 and seeing what most of their lot got upto that day changed my views on how low certain football "fans" will stoop.

To be fair, I think we hate everybody

 

Maybe not Brentford....yet.

[Jattdogg]

Tbh, I dislike any club that's not Leicester city. They can all suck a fat one.

 

This whole:

-They are scum 

-they are chavs

-they are inbreds

-they are obsessed with us etc

 

Is bollox. Every club has fans that fall into the categories above (and others not mentioned).  Many make the same remarks about other clubs and so on.

 

Let's just say it's banter and our passions for loving our own club. So yes, spurs are a bunch of inbred, scummy chavs who are obsessed with being pissed  that they couldnt catch us and it pains them to no end. 

 

Stick that up your fighting limp cock forum.

 

Oh and fuk the other 18 EPL clubs ,  they too are a bunch of chavs!

True. We even hate our fellow City fans, everybody that has ever worn a City shirt and even the guy who thought of putting a clapper on every seat.
