It was noro virus you complete muppet.

Unless you think there was a biological attack on the hotel.

Oh and you spelt poisoned wrong.....you cunt

The virus is transmitted by fecally contaminated food or water, by person-to-person contact, and via aerosolization of the virus and subsequent contamination of surfaces

It wouldnt have to be a biological attack.

Just someone sick preparing our food, or mingling around the squad.

The fact we had to play the game was not unlucky either. It was the intention of keeping the Sky 4 together.
 
But to say that luck doesn't exist is the same as saying that hate or parallel dont exist

Of course luck exists....I just dont think exists for a run of 11 wins and 2 losses from 15 games.

I think you have to start taking character and determination into account. I think we were lucky at Leicester at times....but then you have to say Leicester were also lucky at times during the game when we missed chances, right?

Every team is lucky or unlucky during the course of 90 minutes. Its how many times you put the ball in the back of the net that ultimately decides who deserved to win though.

Was we lucky that Eriksen saw the keeper out of position and hit his free kick to perfection? Or did he deserve the goal?

Wouldn't have been an issue if we hadn't had the bad luck of getting ill. Unless you are saying they were contaminated on purpose.

I think its possible....we forget how much of a monopoly that top 4 was back then.
Not saying the PL did it, or Sky....but who knows...a betting syndicate, or just some fan

Aw, wish I hadn't brought it up again now... (a clear reference to the half-digested Lasagne that was brought up all over the Upton Park pitch that day!)

Haha....I think its an interesting point though....I mean, as far I know, its never happened in the history of English football before or since.

Now that is either uber juju Spursy....or some cunt poisoned us.
 
*tin foil hat*

Im not the one talking about biological warefare....just intentional carelessness when handling a teams food in a hotel where no other guests got sick

There was a thorough investigation into lasagne-gate, it was a (spurs fan) visitor to the training ground. No poisoning, no Marriott, nothing sinister.

Whether there was a case for postponing the match against wham, is a different matter.
 
There was a thorough investigation into lasagne-gate

Colin Perrins, head of Tower Hamlets Trading Standards and Environmental Health said: "None of the results or findings indicated that food poisoning was the cause.

"The likely cause of illness suffered by the Tottenham Hotspur staff and players was from a viral source."

Dr Alex Mellanby, Consultant in Communicable Disease Control at the Health Protection Agency added: "The only positive finding in this investigation identifies norovirus, a form of viral gastroenteritis, as the cause of the outbreak.

"We do not believe that this outbreak was caused by food poisoning from the hotel."
Further samples taken from the hotel's waste bins identified a range of bacteria, as would be expected, but did not identify organisms which could have caused the outbreak.

All good and well, but how does that prove we wasnt targeted? It might not have been food poisoning from the hotel. But the bug could still have passed through the food if it was handled in a manner which allowed it to spread.

Or simply that everyone else in the hotel took their immunisation shots that night
:llorishuh:

This was an independent investigation, pretty much to implicate or clear Marriott's name. Tottenham conducted their own, subsequently, to find some kid visiting the ground passed it into a player and then it carried on from there.

Or maybe, just maybe no one gave a shit about others that got ill as they weren't professional footballers?

Fair enough.

Bad luck that time then if thats what happened.
 
Beep beep beep.....

Maybe the club also had tin foil hats on when they called the police...and conducted their own investigation AFTER Tower Hamlets Trading Standards and Environmental Health had already cleared The Marriot.

You think its all very normal with timing of the ilness, and thats great....Im not surprised that you think we dont deserve our points tally either, and that you mock a run of WWWLWWWLDLWWWWD

Oooh oooh oooh to be, ooh to be a-Goona.......:goonermong:
