Miguel Delany saying that Arsenal have asked to postpone their game on sunday.... I presume down to Covid . So does that mean they have spread it around our team last night, so when we have to postpone a game everyone will kick off again?

Oh the irony if they try and postpone the second leg!
Injuries and departures actually.

There's only 1 COVID case. And, I don't think it's a false positive either. ;)

Danny Mills and Hoddle must be fuming at another club "breaking the rules".

I'm sure he'll have something to say given it affects his beloved Spurs.

Hoddle's never forgiven us for the Champions League Final. The post-match commentary must have been painful listening for a neutral, luckily I was feeling no pain at the time.

I seem to remember seeing a brief video of some kind of marquee with a bar in it which I think had some kind of generic music playing. Like a tent at a festival basically!

Everyone's trying it on now with the PL, but it's funny after the absolute shit fit Arsenal fans threw for a week, that we requested a postponement due to having most of our squad and staff missing and forced to close the training ground for days.

Leicester have got their last two games called off due to the odd case because all their injuries and AFCON players missing.

We bore the brunt of a major shitstorm because a game got put back a week after a proper outbreak (despite Arsenal getting the benefit of 2nd leg at home as a result and Liverpool undercooked).

perhaps you shouldn't have allowed the departures if there's an injury crisis!
However if something serious happens to them I will eat my own cock.

Basically nobody.  They're saying that Xhaka's red combined with new injuries to Cedric, Tierney, Chambers and Saka means they don't have enough players.  It's a joke but I don't blame them for trying.

Edit: the PL should turn down their request as it's patently ridiculous but then again I have no love for Spurs either.  I think I'll just root for as much drama as possible then?

Whole thing is mad.

Leagues’ fault allowing injuries and now it seems suspensions to be a factor,

The ONLY factor should be a training ground being closed due to covid cases, so that teams simply cannot be together to train and prepare.

In this case with Arsenal, as with Leicester, they should be playing their U23’s, or forfeiting - up to them.

THey've already set the precedent with Leicester (called their last 2 games off due to injuries and AFCON).

They were okay beating up Leeds's reserves the other week and demanding to play our under 10s last week.

Fuck them, hope they have to play it and get battered. The arrogance from them recently is quite hilarious, shortly they'll lose a few and be back to moaning about how it's not good enough. There's actually people screaming how good Ben White is when he couldn't even defend against Nottingham Forest and watched them score
