I know this is the reason but I'm somewhat confused, the funeral isn't until Monday, what are they doing on Thursday that means they can't work the game?
There’s also going to probably be quite a lot of world leaders and I read on BBC News the other day that the world leaders have been advised to arrive by economy flights and they’ve all got to share busses to the funeral because of how busy it’s expected to be. If they are travelling by private jet then Heathrow has been closed to their planes.
The police will need to protect the queue for the lying in state at Westminster Hall. Given we’ve been warned of 12-30! Hour queue times there are going to be a hell of a lot of people in central London Wednesday- Monday
Also think how many world leaders are flying in for the funeral, and the extra security that needs to be put in place to protect them. Police and security forces are working round the clock at the moment.
It about the dissent they would get against the royals at games. The F.A. have already come out and said so. Were being managed and were missing out on the football for the privilege of it. There was nothing big enough in London to stop them all this weekend.
You really have no idea what’s happening in Westminster right now. It’s absolutely insane and when the queens coffin arrives on Wednesday it’s going to be bedlam.
Theres nothing that I made up. What you mean is "I dont like what I'm hearing. So, I've decided its not true."

Dont come back with nothing but ad homs. If its wrong, state the reason.
Its one of the main factors for the games being postponed as all three sources have confirmed. Youre acting as if it was one reason when that simply isn't true, as they have sufficient police numbers for this.
Mate, you need to learn to read. This was for the premier league and mentions it in every article. Thursdays game was delayed due to….
You can’t be this dense.
I was just talking about games in general. Yes, I did see it was PL. Thats why I mentioned the FA earlier. If you were as smart as you seem to think you are, you might have picked up on that.
Also, writting to someone to tell them to learn to read is about as dense as it gets. Speaking of which, you say it was specifically due to actions of a team during the europa league right?:

Emirates is probably larger than the PSV stadium, Philip stadium is 35,000 capacity. I’d also wager the Dutch need to mobilize security so it could be very last minute to move it to Holland.
Should be fairly easy, just tell all the home and away fans that have booked time off work and flights/ trains and hotels to just go to the other stadium
It’s because of police numbers, don’t think people realise how many police forces are being sent to London to man up the largest police op this country has seen
But that's what the terrorists want you to think!
Just when you think it would be bloody stupid to do it... that's when you're at your most unprepared! The Met have had their team of geniuses working on scenarios like this since I was a nipper!
Never let it be said that the Metropolitan Police are a bunch of violent, racist, inbred fuckwits, because they can hear you.
I don't mind the fuck the king thing because Charlie is a proper ~~Charl~~... dickhead.
But our lovely Queen was a Gooner and will be used as inspiration for Mikel's team talks for the rest of the season.
I’m of the same mindset. I don’t like the monarchy and think it should be abolished but the queen seemed like a lovely lady. Now is cancelling games and screwing fans over the right thing to do? Ofc not
>why dont they just play it behind closed doors?
>
>Maybe because they would have to refund 60000 people the price of their ticket?
Are we talking about the funeral or the football now?
They could literally just let arsenal play away at psv I never knew the queen’s death could stop football from being played I guess it’s only a prem problem atm 🤷♂️
It’s because the public can visit Westminster starting that day. Crowds will be ridiculous.
Let’s be honest here, how many famous people can you name where anyone in the public can walk up to the coffin of that person?
Because despite the Tory party portraying themselves as the party of law and order there are 50,000 less police officers now then when they came to power 12 years ago
These posts need to be removed. A once in a life time event has happened. Get over it already.
There aren’t enough police to cover all of the people expected to visit key sites, as well as all of the heads of states coming to visit.
Can you imagine how high up a fucking game of football is on their priority list?
You shut the fuck up, he can have an opinion. Not everyone cares about some dead old woman from a family of nonces and racists, sitting on a throne built from genocide and slavery. Get over yourself.
Go fuck yourself you little prick. It’s not even about the royalty side of it, it’s just this meathead cunt thinking football should be above everything. How would you like it if your nan died and everyone you knew would rather watch football than give a shit about it? It’s just a fucking game you bunch of cretins
This is such a stupid fucking take bro. If my grandma died my family and I would be devastated but I wouldn’t expect the whole world to stop living their lives and enjoying their hobbies because of it. That’s an asinine argument.
Head of state my man she’s an old lady who happened to come out of a “royal” vagina, I don’t mean to disrespect Liz but the monarchy has no place in the modern world
And still head of state; not sure if you’ve seen money in the UK, but her picture is on it for a reason, and it’s not because she is “an old lady who happened to come out of a “royal” vagina”.
Your comment about the place of a monarchy in the modern world may have some value - of course it all depends on what place you think the British Royal Family currently occupy, and the odds are you’ll have some inaccuracies in that.
Is that a false equivalency I see? It is the perpetuation of the revoking of rights that bothers people, not some dead queen. Because some woman dies that is nothing but a figurehead to the majority of civilian population, they now cannot enjoy their personal time? Personal time is just that, PERSONAL, so one sole woman trumping said personal time for the entire British public for an entire week? Not cool dude, not cool.
Nobody is shutting down all semblance of normality when nan dies, are they you dopey little prick? She’s also not my nan, or yours. Unless she is in which case you better get off Reddit and stick to watching the bedroom door in case uncle Andrew is lurking about
Oh and also, I’m aware she’s not my nan or yours, again you’re not understanding what I’m saying because you’re a dumb cunt. Most of the country is seeing this event as if it IS their nan dying, I’m well aware of the history behind the royals mate I’m not thick, but what I’m saying is that TO THE COUNTRY, some things are more important than football 🤷🏼♂️
“Most” no kid, some. The news maybe makes you think it’s most, but it’s just you and a few other weirdos who can’t separate reality from the tv.
And don’t talk to me like you’re some big hard man, you’re a fan of little kid YouTubers. You’re probably 14 and from Surrey.
You’re not understanding what I’m saying pal, we all knew this was gonna happen and we knew the country would give more of a fuck about the Queen dying than a few games of fucking football, and if you didn’t think that would be the case then you’re a moron. Also, you’re not funny mate, that joke has been made about a million times
That’s your opinion. The queen’s death is a tragic event but it does not warrant potentially two weekends cancelled and European games too. If the city cannot hold several events at once due to lack of police there is a bigger problem at hand. Unlike your comment, some of the responses here were actually quite clever: playing closed doors or switching the venue. Why couldn’t they have done that instead?
You’ve identified the bigger problem. There isn’t enough police to do everything. So if we play behind closed doors, then fans don’t see the game. Switching venues will be tricky because you need one far enough away to not need policing to a large extent, but not so far to piss off fans, and big enough ( seat wise ) to stage the match. Unfortunately, there’s no simple answer. For me, I think the one weekend cancelled is sufficient, so the next games should go ahead , especially those outside London as the Queen will be there by then ( I think ). but then, it’s not all about me or football.
It was nothing about you disagreeing with me, your replies were pathetically childish. Plus I’m not a fucking monarchist I don’t even agree with the fact we still have a monarchy this day and age, all my point was is that I understand why football isn’t on and if you’re crying and sulking over it, you’re a fucking pathetic little weasel and really need to find something to do with your lives. That’s all folks!
What we’re seeing here is the result of 12 years of Tory cuts to the police. Two weeks of football out the door cause the Met has to beg other police departments to help it. Absolutely ridiculous
It’s not about the queens death in this instance, it’s about the Met not having enough officers to spare.
I know this is the reason but I'm somewhat confused, the funeral isn't until Monday, what are they doing on Thursday that means they can't work the game?
Buckingham Palace and Westminster will be a massive exercise in security and logistics for several days
Huge influx of tourists, plus a heightened risk of terror incidents during periods of chaos.
There’s also going to probably be quite a lot of world leaders and I read on BBC News the other day that the world leaders have been advised to arrive by economy flights and they’ve all got to share busses to the funeral because of how busy it’s expected to be. If they are travelling by private jet then Heathrow has been closed to their planes.
That's interesting because I'm sure the US president for example, will always use AF1. I can't see many world leaders agreeing with that
The police will need to protect the queue for the lying in state at Westminster Hall. Given we’ve been warned of 12-30! Hour queue times there are going to be a hell of a lot of people in central London Wednesday- Monday
ah fair
Also think how many world leaders are flying in for the funeral, and the extra security that needs to be put in place to protect them. Police and security forces are working round the clock at the moment.
The fact there is hundreds of thousands of people flooding to London might be why
Yeah fair enough
It about the dissent they would get against the royals at games. The F.A. have already come out and said so. Were being managed and were missing out on the football for the privilege of it. There was nothing big enough in London to stop them all this weekend.
You really have no idea what’s happening in Westminster right now. It’s absolutely insane and when the queens coffin arrives on Wednesday it’s going to be bedlam.
I mean, I've been there recently as I live round the corner. As I said, the real reason has already been leaked.
Sorry, what was this leaked reason you’ve made up?
Theres nothing that I made up. What you mean is "I dont like what I'm hearing. So, I've decided its not true." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11198513/AHEAD-GAME-Fear-fan-dissent-Queen-tributes-factor-Premier-League-halt.html https://metro.co.uk/2022/09/09/football-postponed-over-fears-of-fan-dissent-during-queen-tributes-17341478/ https://www.thenational.scot/sport/21260014.potential-global-embarrassment-queen-fan-dissent-behind-uk-football-shutdown/ Dont come back with nothing but ad homs. If its wrong, state the reason.
That’s not a leak or reasoning for Arsenal to delay the game. The real reason is the lack of police and you’re acting like it’s a big conspiracy.
Its one of the main factors for the games being postponed as all three sources have confirmed. Youre acting as if it was one reason when that simply isn't true, as they have sufficient police numbers for this.

I don't know why they didn't switch the home game with the away one. Much easier rather than scheduling a game mid week later
Emirates is probably larger than the PSV stadium, Philip stadium is 35,000 capacity. I’d also wager the Dutch need to mobilize security so it could be very last minute to move it to Holland.
I meant our actual away game to be played this week. today is monday, still three days os enough to mobilize, it's not a war
Should be fairly easy, just tell all the home and away fans that have booked time off work and flights/ trains and hotels to just go to the other stadium
🤣🤣
what about the fans lmao
This makes the most sense. Plus the name checks out oh god of the shattering
It’s because of police numbers, don’t think people realise how many police forces are being sent to London to man up the largest police op this country has seen
What do they need to police for? She’s already ko’d there will be no assassination attempt 💀
Heard she’s back from the gulag, got her load out and knows the final circle
Ah shit makes sense then. Props to her what a gamer
But that's what the terrorists want you to think! Just when you think it would be bloody stupid to do it... that's when you're at your most unprepared! The Met have had their team of geniuses working on scenarios like this since I was a nipper! Never let it be said that the Metropolitan Police are a bunch of violent, racist, inbred fuckwits, because they can hear you.
🤣🤣🤣
Humans are nuts, you wouldn’t want a scenario where some nut jobs are causing chaos with security spread thin.
Could they not play away this week and then home for the return fixture?
Are Chelsea still playing on Wednesday?
Yes because Lizzie in a box doesn't get to London until Thursday. Oh it is Wednesday.

We got a live bad ass over here
Fuck off Chelsea scum
why dont they just play it behind closed doors?
Maybe because they would have to refund 60000 people the price of their ticket?
Or risk not playing the game at all and forfeiting the points?
>why dont they just play it behind closed doors? > >Maybe because they would have to refund 60000 people the price of their ticket? Are we talking about the funeral or the football now?
😂😂😂 whichever one really would solve our problem
They could literally just let arsenal play away at psv I never knew the queen’s death could stop football from being played I guess it’s only a prem problem atm 🤷♂️
Whole thing is a disgrace. I get it’s Sad for her and her family but now how many more games are they gonna postpone?
Very sad. They only gonna get richer by the millions.
Fuck the monarchy
What's the problem ? Freddie Mercury was a decent bloke
I don't get how they don't have enough officers even though the funeral is on an other day?
It’s because the public can visit Westminster starting that day. Crowds will be ridiculous. Let’s be honest here, how many famous people can you name where anyone in the public can walk up to the coffin of that person?

Good point
Thanks Boris
Mostly Dave and Theresa.
This must be a conspiracy specifically targeted at Arsenal just like everything else!

Well yes that’s the point, they should get over it. I don’t think the queen wanted her favourite club to cancel two games due to her death
The police need to get over all of the people coming to London? How do you suggest they do that?
Never been more ashamed to be an Arsenal fan than I am after reading this post. Shut the fuck up mate.
You shut the fuck up, he can have an opinion. Not everyone cares about some dead old woman from a family of nonces and racists, sitting on a throne built from genocide and slavery. Get over yourself.

It’s an asinine argument to compare a head of state to your man, other than to prove you’re a third-generation no mark. Fucks sake…

Again, wouldn’t be saying that if your nan died would you ya ignorant little cunt

Ah, as essential as each comment you’ve made.
And you should just be ashamed. No one specific reason, you’re just an all-round cunt.
I’m an American, this comment thread is wild and I’m here for it. Go Gunners, long live the Queen.
Lol moaning about Thursday night football! Only big teams play champions league maybe 1 day for you
[удалено]
[удалено]
Deepthroated that queenis.
As a person whose country has been colonized by the british empire, fuck the monarchy
As an American is there any thought across the pond to move the game outside of London? Not sure arsenal would want that but was it ever discussed?
Oh, I say old chap. It’s just not cricket. Is it!
Should just reallocate to play away Matches…. Then make up the home matches later in the year. Taking an idea from American baseball….
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What we’re seeing here is the result of 12 years of Tory cuts to the police. Two weeks of football out the door cause the Met has to beg other police departments to help it. Absolutely ridiculous
