Gooners request postponement of North London Derby

[Yid-ol]

We got threw out of a comp when we couldn’t field a team, only fair…

So you are suggesting that arsenal get thrown out the premium league..... I like this idea!!!

Different competitions with different rules though.

They do have 13 outfield players and all their goalkeepers. So the match has to go one, according to Premium League rules.

African Cup should not be part of the argument, it comes around every year.

If this gets postponed then this season will become a farce. This is nothing to do with COVID, its a team with players injured, at the AFCON, suspended and then loaned out. The league will really lose credibility.

 

[Dennism]

They have one case of COVID. No way should be postponed. Typical Arsenal.

When is a decision expected on this? Probably called off when everyone is on their way to the game.

The reports said they would meeting today.

 

[bsinghd]

They need to provide a list of players who are unavailable if they want game postponed, and those players should not be allowed to play in second leg of their semi final against Liverpool as it’s only a few days after our game

Probablu have meeting at 9pm bunch off clowns running the show.

If they are requesting more due to injuries and players away we should see a quicker decision.

If it's also due to covid then it's more difficult. They could still pick up more cases before the game.

Don’t forget they have also loaned out a couple of players, that, on top of AFCON should make the PL tell them to get on with it, the fault is theirs not Covid.

If they knew they had injury issues and players away, and then loaned other out, then that is their issue as covid isn't a problem for them if it's just 1 out.

Match officially off

Absolute joke. Bet they put out a strong side against Liverpool midweek. Wankers.

 

[Armstrong_11]

kinda expected... things always go against us.

Most likely they will announce Vlahovic signing just to rub salt into it.

fk it. things never go our way.

Shocking decision! The AFCN is no surprise to anyone, nor is a couple of injuries? This isn't a Covid-postponement at all. We should definitely do a Rennes here.

The rule of having 13 players isn't exclusive to covid thought.

True. Probably serves me right for enjoying watching their suspensions and injuries pile up on Thursday night.
