Call it off! Spurs stars want Premier League opener scrapped amid fears of ongoing riots
Terrified Tottenham players have called for this weekend’s opening day Premier League fixture to be called off amid fears over the London riots.
Spurs are set to host Everton at White Hart Lane on Saturday but the match is in doubt after trouble erupted in the surrounding area of the stadium last weekend following the shooting of local man Mark Duggan.
England’s international with Holland was the first big sporting casualty after outbreaks of disorder swept the capital and forced tonight’s friendly to be scrapped, while four Carling Cup games and Ghana v Nigeria were axed.
And Wednesday’s schedule has also been affected with Bristol Rovers’ home clash with Watford in the Carling Cup now postponed on police advice.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

I was thinking that it was more likely that the weenies don’t want to take the chance that the so-called Hooligans might do some ass-whoopin’ on the vandals in the streets after the game is over.
