Arsenal (a) pre-match thread (Game given go ahead 1350hrs)

Perhaps league leaving it late, see if City are there or not, if not award game to Arsoles, in other words can’t wait to screw us over.

Well this is another scenario Peggy. We certainly don't want to give those in power the excuse to use it. It's up to City to get to the London venue two days before as per normal practice

Exactly how I feel about it.

Total nonsense. If a team is unable to travel from one part of the country to another on the day of the match because of advers weather then that game can not be played. If the PL try to give the match to Arsenal we go straight for an injunction which we would win hands down. Now with respect to European games the rule is different and teams must travel the day before regardless of weather conditions. My own view is that this game will be called off later today or early tomorrow.

Will we be already down there or ready to set off with a hotel booked long ago. I cannot seem to recall the rags getting any shit being late for there west ham game. If it's a couple of feet of snow then that's different but what's on the pitch ATM fowlwer would have done that much in one sitting.

Snow coming down thick and fast now. Can't see anything other than it being postponed. It would be absolutely freezing tomorrow night too.

Team travel should be OK ( if they went by plane to London City airport then an hour ish by coach to ground or nearby hotel??) and modern pitch will be heated and playable. It's the travel and safety of supporters which should be the issue.
Is Spurs v Rochdale replay still on for tonight?

Personally I am more worried about the risk of our players getting injured on a frozen pitch rather than conceding the points.

Nonsense it maybe, but with what I see going on today, nonsense may prevail ;-)
