THE LATEST ROUND of testing for Covid-19 in England’s top two football divisions has presented no new cases among Premier League clubs and 10 in Championship clubs.
Over 2,000 tests were administered in recent days with a negative sweep taken as a big positive for the Premier League’s hopes of returning in mid June. The 10 new cases in the Championship were spread across eight clubs, with a Cardiff City staff member among the group.
The fourth round of screening in the Premier League saw 1,130 players and club staff tested.
The lack of any new cases bolstering the Premier League’s plan to resume the season on June 17 as there have been just 12 positive cases from a combined total of 3,882 tests since Premier League players and club staff started being examined earlier this month.
For all the doom and gloom talked about Tottenham this season (no signings, stadium delays, Poch to United, out of both domestic cups), they continue to jog just behind the top 2, while keeping the top 4 dogfight just out of sight in the rearview mirror. One loss and they’ll be branded bottle jobs again, but with Wembley form picking up, and a tasty tie against Dortmund coming up, I can’t help but be happy.
Hanging on in there. Not at their best but picking up another win. COYS
Spurs are the type of football club that would give ya the horn.
@limofax: just like your ma, good stuff.

I can’t suffer Michael Oliver either.
He was the last one picked in school who:
1) you stuck in nets cos he’s brutal at football
2) you then told him to keep time cos he was crap in goal
3) eventually made him referee cos he was brutal at everything else, then became a brutal ref
Leicester should have been out of sight but Spurs more clinical with the chances they had
