It wasn’t until John Cross asked the obvious question, which was if the players lacked the physical conditions, then how come?
Enter stage left the THFC public relations team (one with her foot stuck in a bucket, one riding a unicycle, and another dressed as Greek Orthodox priest).
Tottenham suffered ‘cases’ of positive Coronavirus tests at Hotspur Way and these were responsible for some players only having one training session with the gaffer.
Why wasn’t this in the public domain, ahead of kick-off? How much bile and vitriol might the world have the spared, if fans knew the true state of play?
That will be an Arsenal shirt.
Winks? He pulled out of the England squad pretty quickly.
Who knows/Who cares any more
The next time Bruce puts up a thread “Spurs interested in Billy Bongbango from FC Trabanspor” I will explode.
Just put up “First photos of Thomas Partey holding the shirt”
I’d rather at this stage it didn’t come out at all as it just adds more joke club “how VERY spursy {chuckle chuckle}” media reaction.
Should just man up and move on at this point – Jose says he wants the dirty laundry and inner workings kept private now Amazon have exited – and yet…
At least Lasagna gate came out before the match! we asked for dispensation. Here would have been perfect time to ask. “Dear Premier league, due to the global pandemic hitting our training facility our players have not had time to train or prepare, this risks their fitness and health before entering a very intense sport, and schedule, please accept our request for a delay to our opening fixture. There will be no impact to TV or fans as it was not broadcast or tickets sold…!”
Agreed!! I am hoping Jose is not party to it, and not saying there is not an element of truth, but wow!!
PR BS
Lasagne washed down with lashings of Corona
Stinks to high heaven
HUGE excuse!! i bet the cases were unrelated and in no way in contact with playing staff. I would have believed it if said before the game, but now seems like an excuse.
