All is not lost. Conte's seen Great Evelebty. (2m 29).
Lasagne-gate didn't actually happen though... remember?!!!
I still maintain to this day that had Man Utd, Liverpool, Arse or Cheslea (but not Man City 'cos they weren't really a thing' back then') suffered the same fate, the FA would've done everything in their power to stop, or at least postpone the game for a few hours.... but 'cos it was us (and against them) it was deemed worthy of going ahead.
summit still stinks about that day... and I don't mean the Spurs away dressing room toilet cubicles!
Yeah. I only added that because I thought it was funny at the time and still do. We’re sick so we won’t turn up. What do you mean we lost 3-0?
But my main point was that if sickness within a squad can lead to valid postponement so could injuries+sickness+Covid cases.
I thought they had 3pts deducted as well as a 0-3 default score....and they got relegated by 2pts.
Definitely an error of judgment there by not turning up at all.
I think injuries are a peril of the game that clubs just have to accept.
Sickness - depends. Covid definitely should see games postponed. I think the entire squad having highly contagious norovirus should see it postponed.
A few players having bad colds + a few injures, sorry, pick some kids and get on with it.
Quick google shows boro were docked 3 points but the game as ultimately played - and it was 0-0
So net, the lost 2 points
I tend to disagree..... A genuine covid outbreak as we have suffered poses extenuating circumstances; those being the virus spreading throughout the rest of the players, coaching staff, other stadium staff and potentially oppo players/staff too.
Clubs just have to suck it up when it comes to injury and isolated cases of illness as that's what a squad is for.
The former is an altogether far broader jeopardy and the league should view it more responsibly than it seems prepared to do(*).
(*United & Leicester trying to jump on the bandwagon doesn't help matters though, granted.)

So are we ever going to play again or what?
Yes, Game tomo is on
PL says no more postponements. Maybe some on TFC will get their big break and get on the field and show these bums like Dele how it’s done!
8 matches that were postponed under unusual circumstances
Burnley, hold your beer - this isn't the weirdest postponement by a long chalk...

Number 4 is the best. Maybe we could postpone because it clashes with our Cheese Room opening ceremony.
And probably quite likely!
It was the last game at Highbury and the premier league chairman, who’s name suddenly escapes me, was there to celebrate that day. All very convenient for them.
