Premier League need to get there finger out and have a short break. Edited December 18, 2021 by 54 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_b Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) So that puts Burnley 3 game weeks behind us now (providing we play tomorrow). Gives them a massive advantage being able to see our results and allowing them to potentially prioritise certain fixtures later in the season. Can also see teams playing in Europe putting out youth teams to fullfill fixtures when the congestion shit hits the fan. EDIT - Not blaming Burnley or any of the teams involved but the season is no longer a level playing field for all teams involved Edited December 18, 2021 by geordie_b Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agreed with Jonathan Peace on Football Focus if they had cancelled all games this weekend the clubs would have had 10 days of isolation ahead of the boxing day fixtures. PL are clueless as to how to handle this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxst Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 2 minutes ago, LRD said: No decision yet but I don't think Spurs really cares about the Europa Conference League. Conte cares (allegedly) : UEFA are expected to make a decision by the end of the week on the outcome of the Tottenham’s game versus Rennes after confirming the match couldn’t be rearranged in time for the December 31 deadline. If the governing body rules that Tottenham must forfeit the game, they will be eliminated from European competition this season. But Conte insists such a scenario would be unfair on his players, saying: ‘We want to play the game. Tottenham deserves to play the game, to play the last game of this group. It’s a really strange situation because we didn’t play through no fault of our own but because of a big problem and because the Government decided to close our training ground, to stop our training session for three days. For this reason we didn’t play. Not for another reason. I think we don't have fault for what happened. We deserve to play this game and to try to have a chance to go to the next round” Conte wanted Spurs to postpone their game against Leicester so they could face Rennes He went on: 'We don't find a good solution between UEFA and the Premier League, why does Tottenham has to pay for this? 'It's not fair we have to pay for a situation that isn't our fault. I understand if we did something wrong but in this way, for the club, the players, the staff, it's very difficult to understand what is happening.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
