Yeah it’s ridiculous but there are a number of articles already discussing this.

It wasn't the fact Liverpool postponed it, it's that they faked a covid outbreak. Hope this helps.

You could have just said "I didn't read the article" and wasted less time.

You do realise that I can see what opinions Arsenal fans were giving about Liverpool's postponement before the false positives became common knowledge, right?

Only reason you were desperate for the game to go ahead was because you saw an opportunity to play our reserves end of.

If you don't have enough players, PL should award 3 points to us, as you are unable to fulfil a fixture.

But the bent PL, let you postpone the game and bend the rules.

Spurs weren’t you so we shall never forfeit see you soon lads and lasses

arsenal fans really are the biggest hypocrites around

From PL site

As the guidance shows, the Board will consider the following principal factors when making a decision:

1) The impact of COVID-19 infections on a club’s squad, as well as injuries, illness and those isolating, and the number of players available on the squad list and any Under-21 players with appropriate experience. Where a club cannot field 13 outfield players and a goalkeeper either from its squad list or its appropriately experienced Under-21 players, the match will be postponed.
2) The status of any COVID-19 outbreak within a club, including the number of individuals affected, the sequence and source of infections and their proximity to the match in question.
3) A club’s ability to safely prepare its players in the lead-up to a match.
4) Medical advice as to whether there is any unacceptable risk to the health and safety of players and staff by playing the match.
5) Any advice from UK Health Security Agency and other public bodies.
6) Any other exceptional circumstances.

The Board has applied these factors in recent postponements, with examples including:

- Where a club has been unable to field 13 outfield players and a goalkeeper for a match due to COVID-19 infections, injuries, illness and/or those isolating.
- Where the status of a COVID-19 outbreak within a club’s squad remains unclear very close to a match. For example, where there remains a concern that not all COVID-19 infections have been identified and there is insufficient time to resolve that concern before kick-off.
- Where the club does not have sufficient time to safely prepare its players in the lead up to a match. For example, where the UK Health Security Agency has requested the closure of a training ground and suspension of group training following an outbreak during the preparation period ahead of a match.

Even if you use this rule:
Where a club has been unable to field 13 outfield players and a goalkeeper for a match due to COVID-19 infections, injuries, illness and/or those isolating.

You didn't have a COVID infections, so just 1 player with COVID, and your players were fine but away on International duties.

Bending the rules, to run away from a scheduled game is just a coward act.

By the way, if your read my article from yesterday, you had 13 players!

No obvious reasons why PL approved the postponement other than some biased link.

Your list included players who are injured though

And we had positive tests yesterday, so that very much falls into the category of "Where the status of a COVID-19 outbreak within a club’s squad remains unclear very close to a match. For example, where there remains a concern that not all COVID-19 infections have been identified and there is insufficient time to resolve that concern before kick-off."

Well if that’s the case why aren’t you screaming at your own club to have points deducted after having your game against Brighton postponed you absolute whinging hypocrite?

Honestly you are a bunch of fecking babies abs we all know the reason you are crying and moaning. You wanted to okay our reserves and are absolutely terrified of playing our full strength team.

moaning spurs “arsenal are cheats even though we’ve done the exact same thing.

The PL literally had to bring in rules to justify giving Spurs 2 weeks off, and now they are crying about them

Spot on, me thinks these Spurs fans are terrified at the sight of Saka, Tomiyasu, Ramsdale, White, Odegaard, Smith-rowe, Arthur, Martinelli, Partey and Vlahovic

‘Where the status of a COVID-19 outbreak within a club’s squad remains unclear very close to a match. For example, where there remains a concern that not all COVID-19 infections have been identified and there is insufficient time to resolve that concern before kick-off.’

There’s been another COVID positive result today, so suspect this is actually the reason the request to postpone was made, and granted.

😂 yeah you keep telling yourself that

If there were more positives Arsenal would have announced them immediately as they can’t be stupid enough to realise the negative media spin this has caused on their club

Rightly or wrongly I will add as you have played by the stupid rules put in place by the league

Still doesn’t excuse arsenal for manipulating the rules though

To try and compare the situation with us postponing our Brighton game is also ridiculous

We had 12 positive cases ….you have 1 (that’s known of)

‘If there were more positives Arsenal would have announced them immediately’

They’re not obliged to, apparently. Just ask Liverpool.

Also find it slightly hilarious how everyone is conveniently forgetting we played, and lost, matches at the start of the season during a COVID outbreak at the club.

But yeah, ‘rules being made for Arsenal’ etc.

We did announce the positive, not the player(s) who tested positive as that is personal information that doesn't need to be released.
