- The PL should have a 2 week break (longer if the situation doesn’t improve) and extend the PL season until a later date

- Postpone the Euros until 2022

- Postpone the World Cup until 2023

Do you mean cancel the Euros? As no where to move it too really.

Would be amusing if they did cancel the Euros after Scotland qualified :LOL:

"If" we get to the final and win the Carabao Cup then this will be the most successful season since 2008 and frankly, for any remaining matches, I wouldn't care if we had to play 4 games one after the other!

Get in. A match thread without 80 pages of whinging about the team, the manager, the scapegoat of choice, the commentator, the co-commentator, the camera angle, the studio analysts, the team, VAR, the formation, the subs bench, the timing of the subs, how animated the manager is or isn't, moaning about stuff that doesn't actually happen, bile, vitriol, sourness and hate.

Tell you what, SC won't let you down, we have your needs at heart so as much as it pains me, here's a game for you to fill your boots with. Oh and there's no VAR, which is probably just as well.

You're welcome.

We shouldn't have let them call it off. We sat back too deep and allowed Fulham too much time to conduct their tests. If we had pressed them early they would have been forced into making it to the game before the tests came back. It was probably because Alli was too busy trying something fancy. Fuck sake Alli!

I don't think that this will be the last of our games to be postponed either.

Also shows that a 2 week break is very very unlikely as re-scheduling those games will be an absolute nightmare.

2 week break isn't happening. Might as well abandon the season if they do that.

We're at a complete disadvantage with the game being called off today. Nightmare schedule ahead at a critical point in the season no doubt.

Thewobbler · Dec 30, 2020

At least we play leeds fully rested, thats a positive from this cancelation

They should have cancelled the Euros that way if the leagues needed extended then it could be possible.

That’s a solution but the major obstacle to that is you’re requiring 4 (if you include the FA re the FA Cup as well) different organisations to liaise and work together to accommodate issues that at least one of those organisations (FIFA) will take no responsibility for. FIFA will have no appetite for moving the World Cup and UEFA would rather shift everything back a month or two than defer the Euros by another year.

Another from the ESPN thread - imagine throwing a two-week circuit breaker in as well. Virtually impossible, particularly for us, to play all those games within a sensible, fair schedule.

(Although appreciate right now there are more important things than the football)

Unless UEFA move the Euros again (extremely unlikely) then I've been convinced all along that this season will end up being decided on PPG. There simply isn't space for all the rearranged fixtures that you can guarantee there will be more of in the coming months.

It was frankly astonishing that we got to mid-December before a PL game was postponed.

Shambolic from the premier league. They don’t even seem capable of following their own rules.

philll · Dec 30, 2020

There's few enough opportunities to get the games played as it is and let's not pretend that this is going to be the last postponement. The only way I can see to get the games played is to prolong the season, which would ideally lead to the Euros being scrapped, then we could continue as "normal" with the World Cup in 2022 and then the Euros in 2024 etc.

The other option is to do what they said they were going to do at the start, which is to have the team with the positive players forfeit the match instead of postponing it.

mil1lion · Dec 30, 2020

Ndombele was scheduled to play the full 90 as well. Typical!

A bit of rest before Leeds might not be too bad

Chimbo! · Dec 30, 2020

Maybe this is a lesson to the world of football. More games isn’t better. Get rid of the league cup, make the Europa League and Champs League knockouts from the start. Then you’d actually have space to fit rearranged fixtures in. And maybe would see less injuries.

Erm33 · Dec 30, 2020

Ultimately I think postponements should be allowed only with the caveat that if the team that isn't responsible for the postponement can't fit in a rearranged game in a match slot that's available then they get awarded the win.

I really do wonder when we'll be able to fit this match in especially if we get to the league cup final as we would hope we would, and progress past marine deeper into the FA cup

Villa vs. Newcastle was the first and that was supposed to be played at the start of December.

I don't want to get to political on this as it's about spurs, but whilst I agree the government could and should have done more in preventing people coming into this country from the start along with masks being worn earlier etc.
But surely us a population to a degree has an impact on spreading and not spreading this shit about, I see groups of youngsters out walking along observing no social distancing, getting pissed and generally having the attitude that it won't happen to them.
The lockdown measures haven't gone far enough imo and government policy comes across the same as Boris indecisive and unclear.

People have acted like dickheads in this country but you can only blame the governments rules and regulations or lack of, from the outset the impression I got is that they haven't treated this seriously enough so how do we expect people to react?

Bet Winks couldn’t pass the test ?

I agree, but that could get messy.
If we have to postpone a game due to covid now, with only 1 space to play, who forfeits the game?

bat-chain · Dec 30, 2020

Just dawned on me that we took off Ndombele in preparation for this.

Fuming now.

I like this idea a lot. No idea how it'd work in reality, but seems fair.
