It's all just corruption.
Honestly, the way teams like Woolwich and Liverpool have been using COVID to skirt their AFCON absences is disgraceful and should be investigated.
"The decision is a result of a combination of COVID-19, existing and recent injuries and players on"
ok so Suspensions doesn't factor into it? why is Xakha included in the unavailable players list then.

Fuck everybody

Postponed because injuries and afcon
What on earth are the premier league doing bending over so publicly for their little darlings

If that’s really the case , then they should play or forfeit the game
Postponements have bugger all to do with injuries
Wayne Rooney wasn't 'appropriately experienced' when he scored against them on his debut... He was 16.
They've been looking for a rule change ever since!!
It 'cos ArseAnal are so fucking woke they don't see colour.... They didn't realise some of their black players WERE African!
How long is Dier out?

Postponing the North London Derby
15/1/2022
The postponement of the North London Derby just over 24 hours before kick-off once again raises questions about football’s attitude to fans, and the integrity of competition.
We’ve always said we appreciate the current challenging circumstances, but the fact remains that fans had already made arrangements to travel and some have incurred substantial costs. There are now significant issues around ticketing for the Club and fans to resolve.
While our remit doesn’t extend to on-pitch matters, we have to express some surprise at the justification given by the Premier League for the decision reached. Postponing this match appears to be as a result of squad management decisions and injuries rather than COVID-19.
We will update with more information on ticketing and other practicalities as soon as is possible.

You just sense they will beat Liverpool and then play a Chelsea team with rumours abounding that Tuchel may be moved on in the summer.
It is more oomph to those we are in the middle of a hex.

We had to play 5 players that had been chucking up just before kick off. I used to think it was a bit tin foil hat thinking it was a stitch up. I dont anymore.
Pretty much every player in their U23 team that played the other night is an international at youth level, 1 of them is a full international for Mexico, and some of them have already played for the first team in pre-season. Now they can't sit on the bench apparently.
If they are not able to fulfill the fixture then they should have been made to forfeit. Bet the scum would have turned up then and would put a stop to any other corrupt clubs trying the same....
We can be mad at the decision all we want but as much as I hate Woolwich, we can't blame them. Everyone here knows if we were down to the very bare minimum, we would want the club to try moving the match. The league made this mess by allowing teams to move matches and now a precedent has been set.
I hope Liverpool destroy them
Football wise and physically.
5-0. A few snapped tendons and a couple of fractures
Cook up a single Covid case and we’d be sorted.
Pretty easy to “test positive” these days, all you need to do is go online and register a positive LFT.
That would be terrible behaviour, and it’s being actively encouraged by the PL.
I have no fucking doubt now that if Woolwich had suffered lasganagate the league would of given them a postponement. Its ridiculous a club being rewarded because one of their own players got a red card.
Sky have to make a statement to the EPL. And stop televising Woolwich games apart from the NLD.
