The postponement of the north London derby by the league was a strange decision and Antonio Conte called for his side to be shown more respect.
The game was called off on Saturday due to the request of the other side, who were fighting for a place in the top four.
Many players unavailable across our squad as a result of Covid, injuries and players away with their countries at the Africa Cup of Nations were claimed by Mikel Arteta's side.

Spurs responded to the decision by calling it "very surprising", and then questioned why injuries and international call-ups are taken into account when clubs apply for matches to be postponed.
The club made a statement and expressed their disappointment about the decision. It was a strange decision.
"My feeling is that when there is a situation to play, we have to play and not delay games for injuries or international duty."
We have a big problem to solve with Covid, but only about this situation will you decide to delay.
This is the first time in my life that I have seen a decision like this. Anything can happen in this way.
Due to the Covid outbreak, Spurs' game at Brighton on December 12 was called off and their final Europa Conference League match at home to Rennes was postponed three days later.

The north London derby should have been postponed by the premier league according to the two men.
Rennes were able to defeat Spurs in the replay, which resulted in them being knocked out of the competition.
The reason Spurs couldn't rearrange the match was because the league wouldn't move the game atLeicester due to the Covid cases.
It's not easy to prepare the game in every aspect, then arrive to play the game and it's postponed for strange reasons.
The game is over. The postponements due to the Pandemic became about clubs not having their best team. All games should go ahead unless you have an exceptional amount of CV cases, that's what the premier league needs to stop this now. It is wrong.

Gary Neville is on January 15, 2022.
The Conference League dropped Spurs because of the game againstLeicester being moved. They were put off after the request ofLeicester. Spurs was dropped by the European soccer body. This is very strange.
There is a big disappointment for us as we love football and worked a lot to try to play this competition. It's difficult to accept a decision.
It was a big blow to Spurs. You have to protect your team in Europe and they penalize you.
We like to do this, but I think they have to respect our job.
Sky Sports News got in touch with the league to get a response to the comments made by Conte.

After the postponement of the north London derby, Richards said that they have done what any other team would do.
The postponement of more than 20 league games this season has led to the likelihood of clubs needing to fulfill a large part of their fixture list towards the end of the season.
If the Premier League decides to postpone games for injuries, it means they have to try to make a better schedule and reduce the games.
It's odd for me to listen to the welfare of the players. If someone has to think about the welfare of the players, you have to play less games.
Why don't you speak about the welfare of the players? It's not an excuse to say something stupid.
"You protect the players to give them a rest, but if you want to play, you can't speak of the welfare of the players." It's very odd to me.

It's too easy to get games called off.
As soon as the first-leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final between the two teams was over, Mikel Arteta said he would have to play Gabriel Martinelli and Albert Sambi Lokonga in the middle.
I was hoping that the injury and suspension of Granit Xhaka would not affect the outcome at Spurs. Who was going to play in the middle?

Gary and Jamie spoke last week about whether or not the Africa Cup of Nations should be used to call off matches in the premier league.
I can't believe the game was called off.
The clubs have spent a lot of money on giving young kids a chance. How would those players feel if the manager said he didn't have any players?
If there are 10 cases in the camp and players have to do the right thing, I can understand why the camp is canceled. You're getting a game called off because you have seven injuries, but you have one Covid case? Come on. It's getting harder to get games called off.
There was a lot of talk about the importance of the fans. The game was called off late. How many people have traveled to come to this big football match? There is no care for the fans.
What are the rules for postponements?
Covid protocols were included in the Premier League handbook and the board will only allow the rearrangement or postponement of a league match in exceptional circumstances.
The board make calls on a case-by-case basis, and by way of guidance from the league, permission for a postponement will not be granted if a club has more than 14 players available.
A new guide explaining match postponement protocols was published after a number of games were postponed.
There are factors considered when deciding to delay a game.
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 are some of the things that are listed. The match will be postponed if a club can't field 13 outfield players or a goalkeeper from its squad list.
The number of individuals affected, the sequence and source of infections, and their proximity to the match in question are some of the things that can be found in the status of any COVID-19 outbreak within a club.
A club's ability to prepare its players for a match.
There is a question of whether the health and safety of players and staff is at risk if they play the match.
The UK Health Security Agency can give advice.
