Spurs had more than enough healthy players to fulfil the fixture, and that was the main thing. The Premier League followed their rules. What do you think Arsenal would have said if the Premier League had set aside their own rules and it led to Spurs qualifying for the Champions League instead of them? Edit to add, because I know someone will question it, I'm not from England, I don't support either side or any English club. I just remember the incident very well.

And the Prem let them reschedule matches so they'd be able to field a more competitive squad. So, even though "they have their rules" the apply them inconsistently, and that's why it's easy for me to declare to lay blame at the feet of the PL.

I'm sure if it wasn't the last game of the season it would've been postponed

I don't think a replay would have been a good idea, once it's been played it's been played but the failure of the premier league to postpone the game when West Ham were gracious and understanding enough to accept a reschedule just goes to show how ungracious and unaccepting the premier league were and often still are with some of their poor decisions over the years.

I'll start by saying I am an Arsenal supporter so my bias is clear. Had this game not been the season finale, there is no doubt it would have been postponed or possibly replayed. But the last games of the PL season are played simultaneously to avoid backroom deals. At that time, causing Arsenal to not make the Champions League the next year would have been a win for every other London-based team. It would have meant taking down one of the Big Four (Arsenal Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea) at the time. Any of the other 15 teams would have jumped at the chance to bring one of them down. The ONLY fair change that could have been made would have been delaying ALL other kickoffs. And that was near logistically impossible as it would have required Arsenal to agree as a hosting location. I still chuckle whilst at a restaurant and I see lasagne on the menu to this day.

Shows somewhat how times have changed when you compare the many games cancelled and rescheduled the season before last due to one or two players having Covid, albeit not on the final day I guess. I wonder if this happened in the modern day whether the EPL would reschedule, certainly it feels more likely than it did back then.

Inconsistent suggestion that Spurs players were incapacitated but still managed to keep the game tight and only lose by the odd goal with the winner scored in the last ten minutes. West Ham were a good side that season and took Liverpool to penalties a week later in the cup final with only a miraculous last minute of extra time save by Reina and last minute goal from Gerrard keeping the hammers from winning it.

Can't believe that was 2006!

What people forget is that arsenal were moving into a brand new stadium the very next that crippled their finances, making champions league football an absolute must to keep any of their top players, and arsenal chairman david dein was also vice chairman of the FA at the time, and the england squad for the world cup was announced that very evening containing a 16/17 year old theo Walcott who had never even started a premier league game in his career at that point totally relegating the tottenham poisoning story from the back page headlines, a lot of very dodgy coincidence around that whole situation, a little context goes a long way, its at the very least eerily suspicious
