Premier League always been a joke. They make it up as they go along.

Remember when Blackpool, under Holloway, rotated their side and got fined for fielding a "weakened" team.

So if we don't fancy playing a game we just claim that everyone is injured and that's fine? As everyone has said this seems entirely of their own mismanagement. Yet we're eliminated from a European competition because of a legitimate Covid outbreak. Different organising body, but seems very unfair. They now have to apply these rules consistently...

With all that’s going on with Covid, the bleak economic situation of many, the disgruntlement of so many Spurs fans we add to the mix the ridiculous decisions of the PL. No wonder gates are way down at our new shiny, empty, stadium (see article in today’s’ ‘I’) hitting the club financially. I bet when we have to cram games in, get injuries and suspensions that the PL will turn a blind eye.

In a league overwhelmingly dominated by a side owned by a nation you think the PL would lap up derby games as a promotional tool. But I guess they have their own agendas and fans have long been expendable. The sponsors should drop contracts, withhold payments and then we would see what happens.

Seems like a good time to get all the other clubs together and raise a motion to vote Arsenal out of the football league.

A complete and utter fucking joke. Next up on 'would I lie to you'

"We postponed a game because of some bogus fucking story of covid and players that were away at afcon because we didn't fancy playing Tottenham. Truth or lie?"

I'm trying to let go of the frustration and analyse the positives. We should have Son, Romero, Dier, Reguilon back. Hopefully we have done business in the transfer window and it allows the likes of Kane a bit of a rest to avoid the usual injuries I would hope. Extra training for Leicester too.

the optimism about our players being back, is outweighed by the fact that they will also be at full strength with any new recruits. I would rather play their reserves with most of our best players available than full strength v full strength

Let's hope we make a singing this window who ends up scoring the winner against them when the match is eventually played - that would be karma!

Points deduction will really be fair. Because its not just us affected, but many other clubs previously and down the line later.

They should now be prevented from playing any of their players who the don't count in their fit staff as of today for the rest of the season (all their U23's etc)

Obviously they'll do us in the re-play and pip us to 4th.

Hopefully Levy is livid and challenges thsi in some way.

If nothing else, there’s not a single person who thinks this game should have been postponed - including Arsenal fans.

Purely since COVID.
It is there to protect integrity of competition.
Absentees don’t have to all be covid at all, just absences.
Protect integrity of the competition? Your having a laugh........EPL now officially a joke after that decision.

I like the idea that if we get enough players suspended we can just postpone games indefinitely - we'll never have enough players to play, thus they can never serve their ban, thus we will never play again?

You'd be surprised how many gooners are our there on social media defending the club.

Be relieved you got the game called off, but don't act like it's right.
