Spurs to make formal request for West Ham game to be restaged
tribalfootball.com - May 9, 2006

Tottenham are seriously considering a formal approach to the Premier League to have their match against West Ham on Sunday restaged.

The Times says Spurs believe that they may have been treated unfairly when it became clear that as many as ten players were struck down by food poisoning on the eve of their most important match of the season on Sunday.

They are also considering studying statistics provided by ProZone, which is used to measure the performance of players in all Premiership matches, to show whether the team were unable to compete at their usual level.

Several of the unwell players said that they ate the lasagna, but there remains the possibility that one player passed around a virus.

West Ham defeat cost Spurs massive £14M
tribalfootball.com - May 9, 2006

Tottenham's defeat at West Ham United has cost the club an estimated £14 million.
Nigel Currie, director of the sports sponsorship firm brand Rapport, has told the Guardian that Spurs' failure to qualify for the Champions League will cost them a fortune.

He estimated lost TV revenue alone would be at least £2.5m and a forthcoming shirt sponsorship deal could fall from £6m to £4m, with another £1.5m lost in merchandising sales.

don't think the FA agree with spurs request even though the suitation is sympathic......

X-men SG

sometimes sh|t happens... in Spurs case, SH|T did happened.

Maybe they can try to appeal after Arsenal's Champion's League game Mr. Green

Marco_Simone SG

Yeah,let’s hope the FA allows this to happen and Spurs go to CL!

I think the chef was arsenal fan and think that tottenham will win the match against west ham so he put abit of like not poison but something not so serious so that the spurs players is not @ 100% that the rumour that the chef of is Arsenal fan.............if it is.........I think a rematch should be fair........but the FA will not really consider the option of rematch I guess

nullifi3d SG

Its just blatant rumours. Wheres the evidence. Even spurs have ruled out foul play.

The EPL is over, and if spurs do get a rematch then it wil cause an uproar in the EPL. What's done is done. EPL is over, just like the SG General Elections.

i fink it's a bit too late to request now Rolling Eyes

CoolMyth SG

It's said that the players that fell sick didn't ate the same thing.

Hmmm.... Wink

stellazio SG

david dein in the FA u think they will allow..if they were to give spurs chance, they would have allowed the postpone of the match..no replays man..unfair to arsenal..and yes shit really happens.. Laughing

used SG

spurs cant be complaining. look at how many points they lost due to conceding goals in the dying mins.

White hart lane - vs west ham
dropped 2 pts due to Anton's goal in dying mins. 1-1

Craven cottage - vs fulham
dropped 3 points with injury time goal by fulham. 1-0

there may be a few more.
if only spurs could score more goals and kill the game off early, they could hv even challenge for 3rd spot

martin jol is a good buyer and will strength his squad tis summer. i'm sure it would not be repeated next season

stellazio SG

against chelsea..gallas long range effort in the 92 min.. Laughing

BrUtUs SG

if their request got accepted then its very unfair to other teams who suffer injury plague lineup and foreced to play in games… if tat happens tat would mean fergie, wenger, benitez all will oso appeal for their injury plague games like tat would mean no end to season… jz accept the result lo… and wat more is west ham got FA cup coming up so they wun be so free to go for another rematch…

Patrik SG

Arsenal needs that 4th place to be in the Champions league next season.
Laughing

iveco SG

From the way Spurs are begging for a replay, it seems like their chairman is after the UCL spot by hook or by crook.

alwaysdisturbed SG

i tink no link leh...
den every other teams can oso say if only...

alwaysdisturbed SG

UCL leh...who doesn't want...

dragg SG

what if spurs have beaten west ham?

it is silly to appeal after losing the match. they should not have played that game in the first place.

monoslayer SG

shame on them! lose liao den wan a replay.. wtf man.. lose oso must oso wif pride n dignity mah.. if they won in the 1st place u think they will still kpkb?? the season has ended so they can argue till the cows come home n the final verdict will still b the same..

incredible SG

Spurs is smlj? this kind of nonsense want to play in UCL? Better wake up. Arsenal is the real deal. The table dont lie....who give the sh*t if they dio food poisoning? Henry has no sympathy for them..neither do I.

Reasono simple. If they have infact beaten West Ham 2-1, will they KPKB to the FA and request for a rematch cause they think if not of the food poisoning, they should be able to whack West Ham 5-0? LJ understand.

Sore loser!
