I’m struggling to see why Chelsea can go ahead but we can’t

Doubt Chelsea v Liverpool will, deemed a high risk game so more police needed, same with Man U v Leeds possibly being off, even though its in Manchester and miles from and route the funeral may take.

Brentford v Arsenal will maybe go ahead, but Arsenal v PSV not as I guess that's a high risk game so more police needed, though with it being Thursday seems a bit odd.

Seems to me the police are just not ready for the funeral and are being trained all week to get prepared

Edit, just realised you mean the CL Chelsea game

Should just do the games behind closed doors

Chelsea vs Liverpool confirmed postponed.

As is Man Utd v Leeds Utd, and the Brighton v Palace game remains postponed. So seven matches remain.

PL Statement.

And Man U v Leeds

Spurs v Leicester goes ahead on Saturday but Arsenal v PSV on Thursday doesn't.

Some weird stuff going on

Its a category of games i imagine. Leeds vs United and Chelsea vs Liverpool are both high risk/police games.

Bloody stupid if you ask me. I really don’t think the FA know what the **** they’re doing here.

Our games been brought forward to a 12pm KO too

Clearly those games have been postponed in consultation with the Police who have said they cannot safely allow the events to go ahead. The FA haven't just flipped a coin you know?

Everton v West Ham
Spurs v Leicester

I would put them up there with high risk

Null and void the league. Cancel the slave World Cup. Give it Giggsy till the end of the season.

Come on, can we just have a ****ing season without any interruption for once?!

Shamikebab · 12 Sep 2022 at 18:25

Absolutely ridiculous cancelling some and letting others go ahead. Why do some clubs have to be punished and have games crammed in elsewhere? All or nothing.

Neither Spurs nor Leicester are known for violent fans and there is no beef between the fans either.

Talk to away supporters that used to visit the old White Hart Lane and see what they think about that

The last part of your post is the reason. Had Spurs been playing Chelsea, West Ham or Arsenal then their game would have been pulled too as the chance of crowd trouble would be greater and more police would be required.

Falling for City again. Just the one postponed game for City, 2 for Spurs, Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.

It's great for Liverpool as all their injured players can get fit again.

Only to get injured again playing 5 games in 3 days or something mad.

We would have a more then capable team providing we dont pick any up tomorrow capable of beating Chelsea this weekend.

Yes they would be derby games and high risk. Spurs fans don't cause trouble everywhere they go and neither do Leicester fans.
