I don't like this one at all, not one little bit, and the risk of zero points and injuries is plain to see. Spurs who played last night in balmy London must be dancing with glee. UEFA idiots.”

The trouble is, don't all last round of matches, have to kick of at the same time, so if our match is called off, don't you then have to call the other match off, and then you have to find a way of playing them, and the four leagues involved would have to push back matches.
It would be a bit chaotic to say the least.
Also, it would mean pushing back the draw for the next round, which is on Monday, so this match can only really be played today.
In an ideal world, of course this match would be postponed due to safety concerns, but there is too much to figure out, for UEFA to allow that to happen.
