Mic09 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) 9 hours ago, OutByEaster? said: It is for us, but it's also the teams we play against - Spurs might still need to fit in 41 games. Absolutely, that's why I said it's not that simple. At the same time, spurs probably won't play 41 games, and I can only assume that math geniuses at the PL can move stuff around in a way that will enable everyone to finish their seasons. There is no good reason why Spurs couldn't play on a Tuesday, Saturday, Monday, Thursday and Sunday - that's 5 games in 12 days. Not ideal, but I'm sure every team will have to make some sacrifices this season. Edited January 14, 2021 by Mic09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Will Wednesday's game be on? If not that would be 4 games in hand versus most teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I think we all expected this to be called off. The health of the players and staff comes first, so it’s the right decision. I’m a bit disappointed that we don’t get to see this team play for another week though, it’s been a nice escape to watch us on such good form. But let’s hope that they’re all safe and well with no long term health effects, and that they come back on the 23rd, rested and raring to go and destroy Newcastle 7-0.

Lord Willard Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Does this mean the City game is off too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 the issue tho, is if Man City goes ahead, we have 4 games between the 20th and 30th of Jan......... 4 games in 10 days is rough. infact if you include the WHam game on the 2nd Feb, thats 5 games in 13 days..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isolation periods will be over enough time ahead of that, and besides if they go far in all competitions then we'll be struggling to fit in our 2nd match against them which is scheduled for FA Cup semi finals weekend.

We do have Arsenal the weekend after before our first week long break in a while though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
