A very silly boy lost his marbles last night and decided to tweet that today’s game against Crystal Palace had been postponed.
Now, it doesn’t matter whether the game is postponed or not; to state that it was when the Premier League rules state quite clearly the threshold is 13 outfield players when one only has concrete news of two club staffers – is utterly irresponsible. Even if the criteria were to be met at a later date, that would not support a wild claim published a day in advance.
My understanding, based upon knowledge of the standard protocols, is that the clubs will test before travelling from Hotspur Way and wherever Palace are staying, as a precaution. Had either club experienced significant outbreaks of the virus prior to today, one would have expected them to have already communicated this information to the Premier League.
Unless Palace or Tottenham have experienced an almighty surge in positive cases overnight (which is not impossible, but it would be curious) then the game will take place.
What is not up for debate, is that a handful of the backroom staff could not derail an entire Premier League football match.
Cold.
It’s overhyped. Let’s shut down the World, somebody’s got a bad old. 😂
Sorry wrong person wrong question. Carry on if you think covid is a British issue and some government conspiracy to hijack people lives.
Re: Zaha’s sending off – I do hope Tang Anger is taking plenty of note.
How very chrissmus spirity of Santa Conte to bring me the Sanchez I always wanted.
Moura… you see you can do it.
Very much appreciated👍
I’ll go 3-0 or 3-1.
2-0
Here is the team selection for today’s game:
Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Tanganga; Emerson, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Reguilon; Lucas, Kane, Son.
Subs: Gollini, Rodon, Davies, Doherty, Winks, Dele, Ndombele, Bergwijn, Bryan.
What Risk? Just ask Boris and Co.. 🤔
Welcome back Harry …missed the DBs…Transfer window ..hmmm
Just curious. How does football and risking someone else’s keep your life normal?
Strange days indeed.
Most peculiar, mama.
Everything in question now. Is Conte really at Spurs? Is there really such a place called Crystal Palace?
COYS!
Be well HH.
Game officially on, Vieira not in the dugout for Palace. Let’s hope ours and Kane’s boxing day record keeps going! COYS
Lets hope it takes place and that we Win of course. All we want is a bit of normality in our lives.
Always look forward to Boxing Day game….surely its too late to call it off now with fans en-route…..winnable, but not easy…COYS
No, they should not derail a Premier league fixture. Even if Dele Alli’s cat has caught the chinky flu it should have no bearing on today’s proceedings.
Cheers H for all your hard work and diligence towards keeping us dullards informed all things Tottenham.
Great work…. always keep it Tottenham.
🍻
Good to see the daily briefing is back, and you fit and well already H. 👌
So it’s more likely to go ahead then.. Spurs 3 Palace 1.. Kane to score first.
