We regret to announce that Sunday’s north London derby against Arsenal has been postponed.
This follows an application from Arsenal to the Premier League on the basis of a combination of COVID, existing and recent injuries and players on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.
We are extremely surprised that this application has been approved.
We ourselves were disqualified from the European Conference League after a significant number of COVID cases meant we needed to reschedule a fixture and our application to move our Leicester fixture was not approved - only for it to be subsequently postponed when Leicester applied.
The original intention of the guidance - was to deal with player availability directly affected by COVID cases, resulting in depleted squads that, when taken together with injuries, would result in the club being unable to field a team.
We do not believe it was the intent to deal with player availability unrelated to COVID.
We may now be seeing the unintended consequences of this rule.
It is important to have clarity and consistency on the application of the rule.
Yet again, fans have seen their plans disrupted at unacceptably short notice.
We shall once again send food deliveries to the local food banks to avoid unacceptable waste.
We are sincerely sorry for our fans - some of whom will have travelled great distances.

離哂譜, 竟然批准延期

Lo Celso 外借出黃色潛艇
Tottenham manager Antonio Conte believes his squad was "weakened" in the January transfer window despite the club signing two players.
Spurs brought in Juventus pair Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur on deadline day but Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso left on loan.
Dele Alli also joined Everton on a free transfer while Bryan Gil moved to Valencia.
"What happened in January was not easy," Conte told Sky Sport Italia.
Spurs boss Conte added: "We lost four players. Four important players for Tottenham and we brought in only two.
"So even just in terms of numbers, rather than reinforce the squad, we, on paper, may have weakened it."
Conte took charge of Tottenham on 2 November and oversaw a nine-game unbeaten run in the Premier League.
However, their form has faltered in recent weeks and three consecutive league defeats has seen Spurs drop to eighth, seven points off the Champions League spots - albeit with three games in hand on fourth-placed Manchester United.
Conte does not believe he was backed with ready-made signings in January and says he now realises the club's vision is to develop players.
The Italian added: "Bentancur and Kulusevski are ideal prospects for Tottenham, because Tottenham are seeking young players they can develop and grow, not players who are ready. That is the issue.
"This is the vision and the philosophy of the club. It is inevitable that, if you want to grow quicker and if you want to be competitive more rapidly, you need players with a lot of experience, because they also raise the experience level of the overall team.
"But I repeat, I have realised now that this is the vision of the club."

干地終於感受到過去教頭o既難處, 本身要幫係熱刺攞盃或者成功係件好難o既事
因為Levy個理念就係用年輕同有潛力球員組軍, 又要同時同前四有競爭力, 但係英超做尼樣野係超難
睇得出干地開始心淡, 因為同佢本身買人理念係背道而馳, 干地一向係洗大錢買實力明星球員配合組軍, 但Levy就係唔會開水喉
今夏都個轉會都無起色, 干地留唔留隊繼續教都成問題
