Hell, if we’re revisiting how things have been handled all this time, I’m holding onto hope the 19-20 season can still be rendered null and void.

They probably should cancel it, but I don't know what the repercussions are.

Let's not forget, Spurs received a bye in the Carabao Cup because Leyton Orient had a Covid breakout and couldn't fulfil their fixture. I say Spurs should be docked 20pts in the Premier League, regardless of the fact that it has nothing to do with a UEFA fixture. It's the fairest outcome imho.

It has been cancelled, and I think UEFA will award the game to Rennes, which is fair enough. They're already kicking off about it, standard French behaviour. 1 hour ago, PunkStep said: Let's not forget, Spurs received a bye in the Carabao Cup because Leyton Orient had a Covid breakout and couldn't fulfil their fixture.

What would be funny is that if that happened, and we still finished above Arsenal, I reckon they should probably disband the club, for the greater good.

I wonder how teams from bigger leagues will approach it but I look at Spurs and how they haven't won anything in donkies, surely their fans should want the team to win this (although I think they will get knocked out as a 3nil loss could be given for the last match).

It should be given as that too. What were they thinking leaving an announcement like that so late?

This would be the fair thing to do, but Rennes can fuck off. What did they want Spurs to do, play them full of positive Covid cases and lick their faces? They're making a proper song and dance about it.

Liverpool did it when the first team were over in South America and we had a league cup game with Villa. Obviously our game didn’t have the deadly pandemic caveat but the Spurs one is just a third tier European game, can’t go any worse than the last one they played.
Paid Members air_raid Posted December 13, 2021 Paid Members Posted December 13, 2021 I used to consider Norwich fans up there among the best I’ve encountered (after Palace) but having seen that photo doing the rounds of them taking a photo of Ronaldo celebrating a goal against them…. the games gone, Clive.
Paid Members Statto Posted December 13, 2021 Paid Members Posted December 13, 2021 A fair chunk of those in that photo would be United fans, I suspect. I sit in that stand & there's always a fair chunk of undercover away fans, particularly down the front there which isn't popular season ticket territory as you get rained on.
Mr_Danger Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 Maybe they just look like Norwich fans because they’re wearing their protest gear. Saying that they’ve won a couple on the bounce so probably not.
Members SuperBacon Posted December 19, 2021 Members Posted December 19, 2021 Great game, despite Spurs having more trouble finishing than me on Sertraline. Robertson's was a red, but so was Kanes as well. Penalties as well? Yeah probably. "A real booster dare I say" Just retire Tyler you bitch. Sessegnon did a fantastic job keeping Salah quiet. I hope that's him properly turning up now.
