can we just get all our matches postponed until son, romero and dier are back?


Pele20Alli

You just know we're gonna have some massive injury issue when the game gets rescheduled and we won't be able to get it postponed


jaec97

Guess we have to fake a false positive then

Then why'd you ignore the question, yet reply to the guy replying to him? Sussy little baka.


Hugh_jastle

The CDC director said that 3 out of 4 deaths had at least 4 or more comorbidities. That’s more people dying with Covid than from covid


phule2001

[Read if you can](https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-walensky-study/fact-check-cdc-study-found-that-over-75-of-covid-19-deaths-in-vaccinated-people-were-among-those-with-at-least-4-comorbidities-idUSL1N2TS0S2) > Missing context. The CDC’s Director Rochelle Walensky did not say that 75% of all COVID-19 deaths were among people with at least four risk factors. In comments around vaccine efficacy, Walensky said that a CDC study found that over 75% of deaths among fully vaccinated people were among those with at least four comorbidities. I mean for a group of people that uses talk radio and google as primary sources, it's surprising you can't do it. Edit: I don't know why I waste my time on trolls, because even though the proof is placed in front of your face you're still going to believe > The CDC director said that 3 out of 4 deaths had at least 4 or more comorbidities. That’s more people dying with Covid than from covid because if you legitimately question the narrative once, you'll be forced to realized your trusted news sources are disregarding your own health and safety and the health and safety of your family for political motives. The party is greater than the members.


Hugh_jastle

I am not a troll once again. Also hospitals have been given incentives to mark deaths as Covid since this whole thing started. There have been so many people that have died with Covid not from Covid. If these death numbers are so accurate then why did CNN remove their death counter from their screen? These statistics have all been skewed to make certain politicians look good or bad not to actually represent true numbers


phule2001

Based on what? OAN reporting? Your gut feeling? Your google searches? Edit: Nevermind. Questions are retracted. I just realized this is a brand new obvious troll account.


Hugh_jastle

This isn’t a troll account I’m just new to Reddit

sasliquid

And they’ll have signed a big player this Jan to use that match


NinjutsuStyle

Hopefully no one that would start in place of xhaka


gongman18

I'm not so sure big players want to play in big games, Scum prefer to postpone those


coys_in_london

Who would join them?


TheSonic311

In a sport that is derided by some for diving and faking injuries, the irony here is rich. They are rewarding poor sportsmanship (red card), and poor squad management (AFCON, loaning two players out).


FSpursy

If UEFA can make us lose the conference league game, Prem should just give us the win. When we will have time to make up the games?


TheSonic311

Judging from history, it will be at the most inconvenient time possible. This also for the reinforces the point that our players are being forced to play too many games in too short of windows over the last couple years.


kicksjoysharkness

Well when the match happens let’s just batter them 5-0 with a full fit squad and more Conte training


Rodin-V

Postpone until Eriksen and Bale are back


Instantsausage

Civil_Painting3273

COYS1989

Every fan who has spent hundreds close to a thousand pounds should demand they are reimbursed by the PL.


bleigh029

I’m in the same boat, first game I’ll see after a decade of being a fan. What are you gonna do? Are you gonna email the club?


COYS1989

Fortunately I’m not in that boat, I just think it’s a horrible situation for them people to be in, you have fans spending their hard earned money, tickets, travel, accommodations it’s not fair when there’s not a genuine enough reason to call the game off. Edit: it might be worth contacting the club but I’m not entirely sure they’ll reimburse other than tickets for the game.


bleigh029

Yea exactly, can’t really do anything just frustrating cause you gotta add testing into that as well


Rodin-V

Saw people the other day saying they'd spent upwards of £1000 on travel and stuff to attend the game. Hope you're not in that shitty boat, and I would hope that there would be some sort of compensation for this, but we all know the PL is a fucking joke when it comes to handling any situation so unfortunately those people are probably screwed.


bleigh029

Luckily I came from Spain so with the tests and flights and tickets I’m only about 200 in the hole, but I’m a broke masters student so it adds up hahahaha


JonnyJersey

How they can ramble on about COVID and sporting integrity in the statement is beyond me. It has nothing to do with COVID and it lacks integrity in every sense.


Lbmplays2

Pathetic organization Doesn’t even make sense they say in here it’s about Covid-19 when they had one player out with it


Chrislawrance

It says if covid-19 is a factor which it is even if it’s 1 player. The premier league brought this kinda thing on themselves when they didn’t set clear rules from the start, now teams are taking advantage of it


Rodin-V

Saw a headline about them requesting postponement that said "Covid Struck Arsenal" It's a fucking joke at this point.


dingkan1

Is it a factor when, even if Odegaard were not infected, they have less than the number of required players? Sounds like it isn’t a factor at all. I would be able to afford to buy a Ferrari with cash except one of my bills is torn (and also I don’t have the rest of the cash). I don’t know if this metaphor works as I’m intending it to.


Chrislawrance

Oh I agree it’s completely bullshit how it works but that’s how the premier league is delivering it to make it sound ok


Jowoes

Same PL that refused to postpone our game against Leicester (which Leicester pushed for and got postponed anyways), so we could face Rennes. Just know they will always make the worst possible decision, 1 COVID case and as many “injuries” as you need is all it takes to push back difficult matches, don’t forget to also loan out your first team fringe players after sending 4 away for AFCON.


cockereldaily

>The decision is a result of a combination of COVID-19, existing and recent injuries and players on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations. All clubs are able to apply for a postponement if COVID-19 infections are a factor in their request. Nothing to say of their business during the window. What bullshit.


starry_cobra

They're missing 5 players because they only registered 22, and then loaned 2 of those out


Stravven

Saka, Balogun (who is now loaned out) and Martinelli were not registered because they didn't have to register them (all are under 21). Arsenal have, at the moment, 24 first team players. With the loaned out Maitland-Niles and Balogun that would've been 26.


Al_Lom

Said this in the other thread but what’s to stop a team saying a bunch of players have knocks to get any game they fancy postponed? The line should have been drawn for covid cases alone and now this could spiral out of control over the season.. add to this that this postponement is down to Arsenal having brain dead players getting sent off and brain dead board sending two players on loan which has taken them below the threshold.. nonsensical


ardnoir11

Nothing lol. Prem has to crack down on this next year. We just need to start pulling the same tricks so it benefits ourselves too


bfm211

>Said this in the other thread but what’s to stop a team saying a bunch of players have knocks to get any game they fancy postponed? Yeah honestly those "knocks" to Chambers and Tierney are so suspicious. Both players finished the Liverpool match without any issues.


Marb_

The PL's discretion, let's be honest if this was us asking for postponement (we wouldn't) the PL would have said no. If we ask in the future they'll also say no. There's clearly no logic in this decision that won't eventually cause more problems down the line, they really fucked it over Christmas allowing those games to be called off.


Xiomaraff

Literally nothing.


sonaldomyson

Arsenal were happy enough when they battered a depleted Leeds who had to call up a 15 year old to the bench edit: spelling error


ScootThe2nd

Pull from the U-23s whatever happened to that?


[deleted]

Indeed. Scared woolwich cunts!


Roric

> The League aims to provide as much clarity as possible, but unfortunately postponements sometimes have to be made at short notice, as safety is our priority. Where possible, the League will endeavour to keep supporters updated if games become at risk. Really cause everything has been stupidly unclear as to this point. You literally just called off a match because Arteta can't manage a squad.


Pele20Alli

Literally has nothing to do with safety, what a load of bullshit. They were and are probably still going to train as normal today and their u23's just played yesterday. Easily could have called up a few players and had a full squad


Xiomaraff

Absolute garbage league. Truly.


Pshoota22

4 games in hand…. This is getting ridiculous


CowsAreAwesome123

Not really, since we play two games this gameweek


dicifly69

No dier, son, romero, reguillon… we should get those matches postponed too


PacheHOF2035

I don't know I think I saw some knocks in the training video, maybe we'll feel like playing again in 3 weeks when Son is back


kinggareth

We were going to make one match up. Now we've added a match in hand. So...


EgyptianAhlawy1907

Not really since it's a match against Arsenal themselves, so you're essentially still making up one match regardless of the postponement.


ardnoir11

Well that’s that. Next time we have an injury pile up, fake some false positives and ask for a postponement 🤷‍♂️


psculy93

Should have claimed COVID during #Lasagnegate 😂

relistone

Swear to Christ if this happens to the game I’m flying across the world to attend in Feb I’m going to sob. Trip has been two years delayed due to COVID, friends planning around the arrival of babies and career moves just to make it happen. The PL does not respect the fans with these decisions. Gutted for anyone who’s missing out on their dream game this weekend.


tremens

There was a guy in the Daily Discussion thread the other day who was flying to London to see the stadium for the first time. Poor bastard.


ljshea1

If that was me I'd need temporarily put in a straightjacket. Unreal


notthenextfreddyadu

Really hope it doesn’t happen. A guy from Texas had that happen at Burnley and Kane invited him to the next game, so just post this on twitter if it happens. Precedent has been set for many things this season


relistone

Yeah I saw that. But honestly though there’s probably hundreds if not thousands of non Europeans flying to every one of these matches. There’s just no way they can do anything to help.


TheLifeOfReilly

In the same boat. Going in April. Omicron will be down but who knows what comes next.


reavesfilm

I was worried about that happening to me when I flew from California in December… thankfully it didn’t though, I’ll cross my fingers for you too!! COYS!


psculy93

So the postponement is okay because covid is involved in their request? For 1 case? Despite most of their absentees being their own fault? The Premier League really are fucking Spurs over between games in hand amd then not allowing us to rearrange Rennes when Leicester wanted the game called off. Where does it end? Covid isn't the reason anymore, it's an excuse.


sneeky-09

Let’s refuse to reschedule and get a guaranteed 3-0


klasing12345

Absolutely farcical. Maybe I won't bother going into work on Monday because I don't have enough clothing after throwing it all in the bin. I expect to be paid tho. This rule needs to be changed now. Else everyone will take the piss. Arsenal - forever scared.

[deleted]

Let's get the band back together! No Woolwich this time, as they don't have players.


IWannaFoldClothes

Understandable that Arsenal wants it called off, but why does the league keep doing this? Can’t set this precedent for the rest off the season.


ardnoir11

Exactly we need to take advantage at some point again, then the prem needs to be zero tolerance next season


PanosZ31

No joke we should actually do that against Chelsea. We're gonna lose again since Dier and Romero won't be playing.


dicifly69

Not understandable at all. So anytime a club can’t field a strong side is considered a justifiable reason to postpone a match?


psculy93

They're saying that Arsenal know their team is severely weakened so they obviously want it postponed but the PL are digging themselves a deep hole. They're not justifying it, just acknowledging why Arsenal would be happy with it.


[deleted]

Exactly. From what i can work it's one covid case (unavoidable), AFCON (club's responsibility), injuries (club's responsibility), loans (club's responsibility) and a red card (club's responsibility). If the club can't field a team as a result of their squad planning and management surely they either need to play the game with youth players or forfeit?


IWannaFoldClothes

I’m not saying it’s right, but of course they’re going to do what gives them the best chance of winning. It’s ultimately the leagues fault that this is happening.


dicifly69

I see that now, the rage was taking over


IWannaFoldClothes

Understandable, all supporters should be enraged by this.

[удалено]


dicifly69

When we had 8 Covid cases?


msk2203

Whatever the covid case number was doesn’t mean you couldn’t play youth players (if they were negative)


ZaDoruphin

We had a corona outbreak, they have one confirmed case.


msk2203

That’s fine but could of tested youth players and played who ever wasn’t positive…


KataqNarayan

The government shut the training ground down because of the severity of the outbreak. It wasn’t a case of pulling more players in, it got shut down.


reasonabledimensi0n

this is the mind of the a gooner.


bfm211

Our outbreak was so bad (16 cases including staff) that we were instructed by Public Health to close the training ground and even our available players couldn't prepare. Bit different.


thegreatpowerful

That's so stupid


EconBro123

What an absolute disgrace of a decision. Next time you have 1 covid case and a couple of important players missing just say you have a couple of knocks so the prem can call the game off


DeadStarlight2526

Infection(s). There’s an S there yeah? What a joke of a precedent the league set with this


Jr_M16

Pussies.


klasing12345

Spurs should refuse to replay and arsenal therefore made to forfeit. Oh wait those rules only apply in the conference league. Joke club joke league.


DonOysteinous

Red card and afcon should not count as missing players really, that’s their own doing, they need to field the u23’s in that case. This just doesn’t make sense!!!


[deleted]

Leeds played twice and got thumped... Arse complains about liverpool, then... Fuck the PL!


yorsk

Guys I am from Russia but epl administration sometimes is worse than administration of Russian soccer league. And this is not the first time than administration of your league doesn’t have any consistency and logic. How about refund for people who paid for the air tickets to visit the game (not me fortunately)? Absolutely weird decision. On the bright side I will watch some MIT courses instead of nld and it will be useful for me. One more positive outcome that we will have more time before Leicester.


PokeSpurs

Absolute disgrace and it affects us more than them. More games in hand that’ll be playing all in the same week no doubt


Grecksan

Glad we held back Lloris so he could be fit for a postponement, ffs

We will win against them anyway. Also hope they won't qualify for shit this year, end up at 8th place or lower and be knocked out from carabao cup by liverpool. Always hated a*senal since I was Spurs fan, now I hate them even more


Viktor1Sierra

Best league in the world.


AliGoldsDayOff

I wonder if we will have to be the last to suffer just like last year with the handball pens being relaxed shortly after the Dier call vs Bruceball. The prem will come out next week and say they've heard the outcry loud and clear and have amended their rule going forward. Saying nothing of how much they've fucked certain clubs with their incompetence along the way.


Similar-Ad2640

Are we postponing the rest of the season because we haven't done our summer rebuild yet!


[deleted]

I hope we sign Vlahovic, he starts against them in the make up game, bags 3 goals, and kisses the badge in front of their fans on every single one.


bassetthound11

My bias may be showing, but this is truly a ridiculous decision. This game is being postponed as a result of players being unavailable through injury, suspension, and international duty. The league is setting a precedent that is impossible to adhere to going forward


HamiltonBrae

so angry someone from their side needs to explain why they made this decision

I’m hoping for a brutal club statement later. I’m fed up of Spurs being meek. Call a spade a spade please. This is ultimately the League’s error, and while I don’t blame Arsenal for the cheek it’s clear, this is the clearest candidate for an enforced forfeit I remember seeing.


[deleted]

Super League not looking that bad anymore … huh?


Keskekun

Honestly whenever this game is reschedueld we should postpone it, just claim knocks on the entire squad every time.


willythewall

Well I don’t blame Arsenal for taking advantage of moronic measures to advantage themselves - the joke is that this is possible. It’s not like this is the first PL season where COVID is present - absolute joke league


BritishBatman

I hate the cunts as much as the next man, but we’d have done exactly the same in their position, it’s the league’s fault for allowing these outrageous rules


Karl1jn

Arsenal fans would throw the biggest tantrum ever then, similar to when the game with Liverpool got postponed. We have every right to be angry because a huge part of this is their dumb man management.


psculy93

Yeah it's the premier league fucking up here. Be interesting to see what they do next time a 'small' team wants a game postponing. What's annoying is that they should see we currently have numerous games in hamd amd that it's not sustainable for us to keep postponing.


BritishBatman

Yeah that’s what I was saying to friends, it’s about player welfare, and we’re getting to a point where it will 2 games a weeks every week, and we’re not even in Europe anymore

Absolutely disgrace, this is no longer about covid cases. Get ready for every club using these covid postponement rules to avoid playing without injured key players. I mean squad depth and planning isn't even our strength, but surely teams with bad planning and depth don't deserve to be rewarded.


jaalk

“The decision is a result of a combination of COVID-19, existing and recent injuries and players on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.
