No water in London? Don't want to hear Brits complaining about too much rain ever again.

All the fans are in the stadium already, if there's a problem that is caused by no water it will be a problem now regardless of whether the game kicks off or not surely, so why delay kick off?

Or what am I missing?

It's seen as a health hazard

H&S overkill as usual.

When people go toilet etc. during the match. Also can't clean cups and what not

Presumably if they hadn't been able to restore the water within a reasonable time-frame they'd have had to call off the game.

You'd have thought getting on with the game would be sensible so the fans can leave to somewhere with water ASAP.

I imagine the toilets would be a hellhole at half time though

This spurs line up has a pretty dire lack physicality and flair

Manager philosophy might not be conte or mourinho but Skipp and Bissouma pairing in midfield?

Nice of the commentator to have an excuse to mention our defeat here last year.

Both keepers look nervous under pressure. Fair bet the first goal comes from a defensive error. Fun start.

Why no lines this year. They might as well not show VAR.
