13 Mar 2020 Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has tested positive for coronavirus and the club's game against Brighton on Saturday has been postponed Mikel Arteta opens up on positive test · Season stopped after Arsenal manager's coronavirus diagnosis
Spanners : ah. bless. Must have fought so hard to resist Corona infection transmission potential peaking until the first leg of their 2020-21 cup final.
I have just purchased a replica Orient shirt to help out, its not much but every little helps.Being from Leyton originally its quite upsetting to see this happen so although we are Spurs fans will anyone else do this. COYS and the O's
Good to see that the Os were trying to resolve the fixture problem. If anything, I suspect that PL/UEFA money over-rode the EFL (the consequences to the PL/UEFA if the Spurs squad had a serious infection outbreak) . Ironic in the case of UEFA, as they are the ones who have forced Spurs to have so many qualifying fixtures + in a compressed time window.
Here's my conspiracy theory for what it's worth. The EFL want to play the game but a look at the seasons schedule and Chelsea def being in europe means their is no chance to catch up with the oustanding tie till the week the semi is supposed to be played. Unless spurs lose tonight, then they can fudge it by playing it on tues and the winner play Chelsea on Thursday. They will argue spurs were gonna play tues/thurs if they got through in the Europa and the O's should be grateful they got the game played and maybe another. If spurs win tonight it's a non starter and they will be given the bye. I reckon it will be annouched either way tommorow along with the 4th round schedule
That's a live stream. Some American chatting about Orient and Covid. Don't know who it is, but it's not Travis.
Travis appears about two minutes in The quote in question is "We made a dumb decision to choose to take the test when other clubs played in the Carabao Cup third round without taking the test, it shows the inconsistencies by the EFL."
As I stated the other day : 1. If the Os have to forfeit the tie, ensure they are financially compensated to the sum they would have received if the game was broadcast as planned. 2. Spurs make some financial donation from whatever proceeds they make in the tournament from R3 to their end.
