We regret to announce that Sunday’s north London derby against Woolwich has been postponed.
This follows an application from Woolwich to the Premier League on the basis of a combination of COVID, existing and recent injuries and players on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.
We are extremely surprised that this application has been approved.
We ourselves were disqualified from the European Conference League after a significant number of COVID cases meant we needed to reschedule a fixture and our application to move our Leicester fixture was not approved - only for it to be subsequently postponed when Leicester applied.
The original intention of the guidance - here - was to deal with player availability directly affected by COVID cases, resulting in depleted squads that when taken together with injuries would result in the club being unable to field a team.
We do not believe it was the intent to deal with player availability unrelated to COVID.
We may now be seeing the unintended consequences of this rule.
It is important to have clarity and consistency on the application of the rule.
Yet again fans have seen their plans disrupted at unacceptably short notice.
We shall once again send food deliveries to the local food banks to avoid unacceptable waste.
We are sincerely sorry for our fans - some of whom will have travelled great distances.
Note to our supporters
Tickets will remain valid for the rearranged fixture. All affected supporters will be contacted via email with further details.
And like Lasagnegate and Mendes-on-Old-Trafford and Leicester, Spurs will do f*ck all about it.
We keep being treated like pussies because we act like pussies.
90mins of chanting “cheats” would do it for me.So perhaps a chorus of '10 red & white bottles' might be appropriate at the game when it does eventually take place?
"10 red & white bottles, lying to us all" etc
Yeah maybe I'm over-complicating. However it does need to be something that puts them off regularly throughout the game - so not 90 mins of something constant - we all know that's not realistic - and not just one specific minute either, as that's not enough. It's hard because whilst we'd probably like to aim it at individual players, there seems little justification to do so - none of their players have cheated, just their management hierarchy. So it's not as if they have a few players without scruples - just the entire culture and management of the club.90mins of chanting “cheats” would do it for me.
I've got to say their actions today have turbocharged my hatred of these cunts. I've been swinging like a dervish ever since it was announced. Many Gooners in my immediate vicinity have been taking cover.Those muggy little melts actually see this as some sort of victory. How embarrassing. They should hang their heads in shame.
I’m hoping a suitable wit will pen a chant that reflects their fucking cowardice. One that is chanted long after I’m gone.90mins of chanting “cheats” would do it for me.
Lenny!!Simba? Leo? Hungry?
FIXED!Let's give these cunts absolute hell. I wanta90 minutes of contempt like for Sol Campbell.
That club and their fans are the biggest collection of fucknuggets on earth.
Like it.... If I may, a slight amendment;So perhaps a chorus of '10 red & white bottles' might be appropriate at the game when it does eventually take place?

I'm collaborating with scarletjim as above;I’m hoping a suitable wit will pen a chant that reflects their fucking cowardice. One that is chanted long after I’m gone.
Won’t happen will it
