Over the past two weeks, Tottenham Hotspur has dealt with a COVID-19 outbreak leading to their past two Premier League matches being postponed. Spurs also had their UEFA Conference League group stage fixture canceled, and if Spurs don’t play the game by the end of 2021, it will go down as a forfeit.
Right now, it seems Tottenham’s matchup against Liverpool will occur, and ahead of the matchup, Son Heung-min discussed what’s going on within the squad. Son stated that he’s double vaccinated and he cites not wanting to infect others as the reason for his decision to get vaccinated.
“I’ve vaccinated twice,” Son said with the Mirror relaying his remarks. “To be honest, I felt I needed it because I didn’t want to infect other players or other people if I had Covid. It doesn’t mean that if I get vaccinated, I won’t get Covid, but the percentages would be a bit lower, so I don’t want to infect other people.”
“Also, the rules and the traveling — because I’m not only here in England, I travel to the national team — that is why it was the best option to have it. I have not regretted having it and was happy to have my second vaccination.”
The English media outlet also cites that in South Korea, Son’s home country, 81-percent of the eligible population is vaccinated. However, despite the 29-year-old already taking his vaccine, he understands that it’s a personal decision, and Son doesn’t plan on pushing anyone to get vaccinated.
“It is a personal issue, and I respect any decision they make because it is personal. In South Korea, they had a lot of people vaccinated, but also some people didn’t want it,” Son said.
“But we should listen to how they feel because if we don’t talk, we don’t get any answers. We should respect any personal issue and people’s minds over the decision.”
Tottenham hopes to secure all three points against Liverpool as they hope to crack the top four, sitting seven points behind Arsenal for fourth place. Nonetheless, Spurs do have four games in hand.
And re read all your posts about Covid, you absolute fool.
You’ve just described yourself you mug… You were the first to run your mouth at me the very first time I didn’t agree with your Botchy love and adulation.. You have done the same repeatedly with others, I read another one before my previous post.. You bite everyone, fighting talk where most men come from, yet whine like a little baby when you get a taste of your own medicine… And yeah just as I thought, you’re a cowardly little keyboard warrior, stick to staying home and acting like a big man behind your computer screen… You’ve slagged others and I off loads of times you hypocritical moron.
You’re the one who starts gobbing off and calling people names, generally at people that don’t agree with something you’ve written. So turn that set of values about picking fights on yourself, pot calling the kettle. But then, perhaps you’re one of these people who thinks they set out what’s acceptable when you don’t even adhere to it yourself. Not only do you become aggressive at the slightest attempt to further discuss beyond just being agreed with.
Covid kills people and it is a serious matter, but for well over 95% of the population it will be a ‘flu’ of some description. Oh, I’m so sorry I said that, I’ve been a naughty boy and I shall never discuss anything beyond what you set out, or you might start getting all punchy about it. Nobody’s slagged you off, if you take offence to opposing opinions, discussed at length and robustly, then that’s your department. Best not to discuss in that case, I reckon.
He’s the best centre back in the league.. Was just a play on words, I’m not attacking the mans personality or anything. Don’t you have a sense of humour? You laugh at inappropriate subjects, you think covid symptoms, when like mild flu is somewhat funny, which is strange… You mouth off strangers on here like you want to fight… Is that what you want Easto? .. A proper prick you are… Ever want to meet up with me and discuss anything further like a real man (not mouthing off behind your keyboard you top social media keyboard warrior) then I’ll be more than willing. I’m up and down the country once every 2 months so no problem. You little mug.
ate!
Very good point, some of the ‘science’ (especially regarding spread) just hasn’t been studied with any real vigour. Whatever the theories are, the reality is something different.
Interesting. Exaggeration and worse case projections have been so widely used, that one surely has to wonder what the agenda is?
This is why people start to wonder about the sheer amount of vaccine they intend to administer to the non-venerable over the next three years. Especially when it’s not backed up with any statistics that actually justifies it…
The first round of jabs were crucial for the vulnerable, but across the whole population it has been effective in preventing heavier symptoms in that small percentage of other groups that might need hospital care. Even a small percentage of 67m people was still going to problematic for the health system. The boosters back in October a ‘belt and braces’ for the vulnerable approach, all seems to make sense.
However, a third jab in six months for the non vulnerable is without any proven cause and effect.
😂
Yeah metaverse thats where im investing my £4.50 ,which annoyingly is the same amount Golum is giving Conte this winter.
Is this the match thread?
Not just Sky, any commentator out there always talking up the other side, Does my head in.
Zebin.
The government also announced a deal about a month ago for Pfizer to supply the UK for the next three years with Covid vaccine. They have to use it, regardless of it’s actually needed or not.
Two mates of mine caught Covid about two months ago. Both the same age, infected at around the same time, within a week of each other.
One of them hasn’t been jabbed at all and the other was double jabbed. Both obviously caught it, same severity of symptoms, same duration and after affects. 100% identical outcomes from infection, what role has the vaccine played there exactly?
Quarter of what? Antibodies? No antigen tests are ever carried out on the population, the vaccine has stopped severe illness and reduces symptoms but vaxed people still get Covid, they might not even know they have it.
I believe in science over crackpot theories, it’s just there are so many holes in the strategy. Most of it also comes with the ‘may’ ‘might’, ‘should’ caveats too.
Why is he a D*ckhead? He’s a quality defender.
Thing is, if Conte can get those kinds of levels out of them again, then there’s no way you’re selling them in January.
It’s strange really, Poch trained them really hard and he got them playing at a high level, and now Conte is doing the same. It’s as if without that intensity that they switch off and become blunt.
I have no idea what Jose and Nuno were doing with them in the week but whatever it was didn’t produce good enough levels across the team. They suddenly look committed again, really good to see.
They both were hugely improved. Both have me question whether Newcastle or someone else coming in for them is a good idea. Can Conte get something decent out of these two perennial disappointments? 😂😂😂
Dele and Winks looked at least like options though. Tangy just doesn’t seem to be right up top, no amount of talent will compensate for a lack of drive.
It was an exhilarating game. Bar one record signing, everyone gave 100%. That was the best thing for me. He’s improved a lot of the team in a short space of time. Now back him properly to take 4th.
NBelly was still utter turd bar one pass though. Lazy and no cojones.
Levy bought all great players. It was the manager’s fault they aren’t all world-beaters….
That midfield three today were the toxic trio so many wanted out of the club at all costs. If there was ever a demonstration of the difference between a great coach who gets everyone on board and ones that don’t, this was it…
I’d have him at Spurs tomorrow.
And, of course, We’d have been able to buy some decent players, too!
Van Djikhead! I like it!
Ok, give the statistics on it if you think you’re right. You’re being rude because your argument is on such thin ice. ‘FAR’, ‘HELPS’ what’s next? ‘MIGHT DO, NOT SURE’? Let’s have some stats to back up your bad tempered drivel eh?
The infection rate went down because the first round of vaccines were completed early summer. They always go up in the winter, regardless, new strains are completely normal and expected.
That’s why they give the flu jab in the winter, to stop serious illness. The vax and previous infection certainly does that, but spread? Sod all evidence. If people don’t get classic symptoms (like the vast majority of the younger population) then they don’t test, That doesn’t mean it’s not circulating and spreading. Use your common sense.
If Levy spurns this opportunity to satisfy a coach of his standard, the fans will never forgive him. Over to you ENIC…
He’d been better off building a virtual stadium, a lot bloody cheaper as well! 😂
…y sex.

Debunking the Gov’s science….
To get to 5,000 deaths, we would need an average of around 1.7 million cases per day at the end of January and the highest we have seen in the pandemic was on 17 December at 93,045. Therefore we need an increase in cases of 1823%.
But to get to 1.7 million cases per day, you need to see significant daily growth as it does not just happen overnight. If we assume the growth in cases is exponential, then by 31 January we would have seen around 25 million new Covid cases. So far through the pandemic, we have recorded 11.2 million, so Professor Ferguson must expect more than double the cases in the next 6 weeks than what we have identified over 21 months. Additionally, 25 million Covid-19 cases up to 31 January would actually mean 56 million infections (assuming the same rate of infections vs identified cases).
ConclusionVarious media outlets led with the 5,000 deaths a day headline unless we impose restrictions and sadly nobody checked the maths. To get to 5,000 deaths, we would need nearly 56 million infections across the population in just six weeks. We have issued 126 million vaccinations and the emerging evidence is that Omicron is less deadly (I have assumed it’s not for these calculations).
Sadly, the BBC often has this Professor on the airwaves across both their flagship TV and radio shows. If the journalists working there could smell how off the scale his numbers are, maybe they would give him a wide berth. If there is one thing Santa can do this Christmas, it is to deliver a new calculator to the Professor and for the media to stop using someone who through the headlines his numbers generate just instills unnecessary fear into the public.
Turded.

ConteDust is working already. Loved how he waited for Klopp to make his subs and then dealt his hand immediately in reply.. We should have put 4 or 5 past them. Glad Kane got his goal, but him and Son were inconsistent again. We have to be more clinical in front of goal. Good team effort, but I thought the Scouse were there for the taking, again, especially without Van Djikhead back there.
I’m the one stating the facts. The New Scientist magazine isn’t affiliated with the government. They are independently run.. Antonio has no evidence of his claim above.. How have the results of testing become brainwashing? Do you not believe in science?.. And who the hell are the MSM? The government of Mauritius?
I though Conte got massively improved
performances out of Dele,Sess and Winks all players who floundered under the previous two managers. It’s only one game but it seems to me that Conte is doing what top class coaches do in improving players by finding systems that get the best of the personnel. For the first time in I don’t know long I actually enjoyed watching Spurs.
Sessegnon and Davies achieved the near impossible and kept Moby Salad quiet. Lot of positives in that game actually.
Son not hitting the heights he was once at for me.
Only 45000 in the stadium ,covid taking effect ,golum will be having a meltdown.
So, that being the case how come all of he countries that have vaccine passports have seen no reduction in cases. Why have countries like Germany, France, Ireland, Scotland where passports have been in place for months have now ordered nightclubs to close. The only people in those clubs are the vaccinated. So who’s spreading it ?
Son needs to find form, with don’t have much creativity without him….a creative mid in Jan is a must….it’s probably too late or too expensive to get Vlahovic….
Maybe but he cost them 3 points.
I knew we didn’t have it in us to get the winner, only luck would’ve given us that goal…still, win the next 3 and it’s not all bad…
We’ve got a top quality manager, not a has been or a never been. A present day proven winner.
If you’d said before the match that we’d get a score draw, have created better chances more often than our opposition, and one of their goals would be a lucky ignored hand ball goal, I’d’ve taken it.
We matched them with Nbelly, Dele & W*nks on the pitch.
Go on the Manager Who’s Abilities Eclipse His Ego!
Sky love all the teams that spend big, always have done. Which is sort of understandable, they bring in the box office names that help with ratings abd subscriptions. That’s what it’s mainly down to for me…
We would have taken a point before ko.
Could have Won, might have lost. Still it was better than expected so we cannot complain, just back the Manager you Gowl.
Only applies in CL finals apparently.
Sky hate Spurs and Love Liverpool.
By a mile
I forgot about his mistake actually…
I’d of taken a point before kick off just to preserve Conte’s PL unbeaten run.
Alisson man of the match ?
He’s a wizard
Let’s hope he does in January
Different as chalk and cheese from the dross served up by Nuno.
Awful result considering the chances missed, and their second goal should’ve been disallowed. Blatant handball unlike Sissoko’s armpit. Add to that I’m tired of Sky Sports anti-Spurs rhetoric.
I agree so much better still can’t understand Liverpool’s goal handball is handball
Conte is a miracle worker. Just suppose he had a chairman who supported him in the transfer market?
Would have taken a point ,should have won on decent chances created .
Much needs improving but Conte has done wonders already,think of the utter dross we have watched this season.
Pass of the match by man of the match.
How many have NOT been booked !
Nevoll said dele had a good game. Really?
Laters .
VAR…get in
Shoud be red !
Not anymore😂🤣
Thats better !
Sweet!
Game on
Allison has had a blinder the annoying twat.
Anybody know the handball rules ?
One thing, if we’d of won Levy would have denied Conte any transfer money on the basis he doesn’t need new players. It’s obvious now that certain positions need strengthening.
Strange…he stopped the ball with his arm but not given…
They look knackered.
Playing debatably the best team in the world and we easily could’ve scored 4 or 5 goals. Frustrating!
The number of chances we’re missing is criminal.
Oh my Lord how is it still a draw…
13 with NBelly
Ha Ha Ha ……..
Off. Doh!
They’ve got 12 players including Winks.
Creates one but we concede more with his non-existent workrate
As someone commented ,Sess has looked much improved ,,not so scared.
Well done Conte.
Almost as scary as the liverpuddle forwards.
Why are so many slagging of our defence? We’re playing counter attacking football against one of the best offensive sides in Europe and we’ve kept them down to one goal. I think given the tactics we’re employing they’re doing pretty well, especially with a couple of players who have only started playing for us regularly this season. I’d say our midfield is more worthy of disparagement.
Go on the Unfairly B*llocked Backline Boys!
It’s HT and I for one would jump at the Draw. We have seen this play out many times and we will see what Conte is about in the second.
Sanchez is scary.
What midfield? We are relying on the counterattack with Kane and Son. We have no transition between defence and attack. Liverpool use Roberston and Arnold all the time for width with Mane and Salah coming on from both flanks. We have Emerson and Sessegnon. We need a decent right-wing back with pace who can cross and we need players in the middle who hold possession. and can pass
Hmmmm …… good to watch for neutrals but so far so Spursy. We should have been at least 3-0 up by the time they equalised. We’re playing extremely well, except where it counts.
Sess looks a different player, Son’s making those well timed runs of old, Sanchez (dare I say it) is looking, so far, like the new Toby, and Winks is giving the ball away in midfield. Some things don’t change it appears.
Reminding me just a little of the CL final; we look very capable of winning it bar scoring.
N’Dombele’s assist pass of the match mind you. Such a frustrating player.
Should be 2-3 up tbh. Missed chances.
Emerson typical Levy sideways purchase to save a few quid.
Emerson is rubbish. Take him off before he gets sent off. We’ve created some great chances but lets be honest our midfield is getting bossed by a 45 year old and a 20 year old.
Ndombele can’t cope with the pace of the game, Royal is on thin ice, and Son used to bury those chances .
Alli looks unfit. He was puffing like an old man.
