[QUOTE="weasel, post: 549499, member: 14"] From what I have seen Arsenal had 3 players down with Covid and they didn’t ask for a postponement. They may, or may not, have got one, but the fact they didnt ask means we will never know. UEFA and the FA/PL have different rules as well. As in, UEFA have rules and the FA have a wishy washy vague as **** statement. I do think 13 players including a keeper is enough, but I would be pissed if my club was in that position and asked to play. Saying that, if the FA had said that at the start of the season, there wouldn’t really be a come back. The PL games aren’t the issue, (Brighton have 9 players injured so they won’t complain at all) the season runs until May so there is plenty of time to fit in one or two games. A w/e when FAC games are played, if both sides are out would be an obvious example. The UEFA fizzy challenge waste of time trophy cup shield is the tricky one. If UEFA stick to the rules and want it played by the end of the month, Spurs only hope is to push back the WH game (is that league cup?) by 24 hours and play the European game between a w/e PL fixture and a midweek LC game. That would mean playing Thurs (Leic), Sat (Liv), Tues (Rennes), Thurs (WH), Sun (Palace), Tues (Saints), Sat (Watford) between 16th Dec and 1st Jan. That’s in seven games in seventeen days. That’s beyond brutal. [/QUOTE]
