Will be no games this weekend.

The London prem games you will surely expect to be off, as Arsenal's game in the Europa league Thursday has been called off due to not enough police, this is Thursday

I would expect so. They also say that police will be drafted in to London from all over the country so that could impact elsewhere in the UK. I know it would not be popular and not even sure it is possible but why not hold this round of games behind closed doors and put them all on TV. At least it would get the games played

Nope, simplest answer would be to scrap the international friendlies and play the games then - they won't do it though because the FA would lose money.

They should scrap international football full stop

Can hardly blame the FA. Other countries would still call up their players and it would make that round of matches a farce

Arsenal v PSV postponed , lack of police cover.

United Leeds at the weekend too, that one they normally have extra police on, no chance that goes ahead even if its not in London

Wait, we are playing the national anthem at Goodison?

Yes they will. they did when the Queen Mother died

 

[frank rizzo]

It's what she would have wanted.

Its a little known fact, well buried by the establishment, that Queen Elizabeth II stole more than 700 bicycles in her lifetime.

There is due to be 3 games 2pm Sunday, including one you say, plus ours and Arsenal, if Arsenal is off, and they may call off Man Utd, sky may put our game on TV as a replacement lol, as they replaced a game a few weeks back

Simplest answer would be to extend the league programme by a week, it would still be completed a week before the CL final. La Liga is scheduled to finish just a week before the CL final as it is.

Clash with the FA cup final possibly?

You're right....that's late this year. I suppose they could extend it by a few days then and fit the other one in (if this weekend was called of completely that is).

I’d imagine the Arsenal game we were meant to play will be played midweek sometime in 2023 now.
