       I agree, and also a decent game for Rob Jones - what's the
       betting it is postponed?!
       Who is VAR for Arsenal V Southampton? I just hear something
       about Observer Select Group 2.
       Madley's had 4 or so live PL games this season, so seems trusted
       now, which is good.

       Given the Corona outbreak at Spurs I think that game will be
       postponed.
       If this Omicron variant keeps spreading at this rate they must
       have to consider ground closures again surely and no fans?

       I think the Spurs game will be off, but at the moment there is
       no evidence the omicron variant is anything to worry about.
       There don't appear to have been any hospitalisations or deaths,
       even in countries where it has been around for a few weeks now.
       Some experts think it might actually be the end of Covid, as it
       spreads more but only causes mild infection, meaning it will
       take over but not cause the same health issues as previous
       variants.
       Only time will tell I guess.

       It is rather noticeable that Jarred Gillett has had the
       experience of Michael Oliver, Martin Atkinson, Anthony Taylor
       and Mike Dean helping him through his early Premier League
       sojourns. Very good idea to do this and it confirms my view that
       Gillett is very highly rated. He seems to be in good form too,
       with another Prem outing at Arsenal this weekend following hot
       on the heels of the Tottenham game.
       Good to see Tony Harrington finally make his top flight bow too.
       Hope it goes well for him. The busy Christmas and New Year
       programme will keep the new incumbents in action and hopefully,
       in form.

       The right call, imo.

       How come Tottenham have had their game postponed? Arsenal were
       refused a cancellation against Brentford when they had Covid-19
       running through the squad!

       Both teams have to agree it so maybe Brentford refused.

       Because Arsenal had a few players infected.  Spurs seem to have
       somehow infected a huge percentage of their playing and
       non-playing squad.  UEFA don't normally allow postponements, but
       the fact that even they have shows how bad the situation is.

       With the numbers already infected, chances are some who are
       currently negative will test positive in the next couple of
       days, leaving them with very few players available.  Plus, if I
       was a Brighton player/staff, I'd hardly want a team coming to
       play at our home stadium who have loads of Covid cases within
       their ranks.

       called off due to Covid

       I have a suspicion that we will see a raft of games at all
       levels called off over this festive period…..
