Bollocks. They weren't badly injured anyway so there wasn't any need to stop, they should just be more careful.

They both tried to foul Carrick and got each other. Spurs were perfectly entitled to play on IMO.

On the food poisoning thingy, I find it strange how they could even run for 5 mins if it really was food poisoning. That completely wipes you out for several days and would have lead to players throwing up every 2 mins on the pitch as they'd be having to take on a shit load of water.
Comments on the game and the highlights hardly suggest a team of players suffering from food poisoning. Plus it takes a number of hours to really kick in, so they'd be at the peak of clearig it out for the game, but Jol kept the same team.

Spurs' "food poisoning" sounds a lot more like the way most blokes have "flu" every time their nose starts running. But "we've got slightly icky tummies" might not have sounded as good a reason to try and get the game called off!

It doesn't at all as Paul Robinson, Stephen Kelly, Anthony Gardner and Jermain Defoe were the only players who weren't sick. The rest of the player were clearly not well and that's what cost them the three points and 4th place in the premiership. All highly suspicious.

So in excess of 20 players were sick? Not what they originally claimed. The Prem also said they couldn't call it off as they had enough fit players in the squad, so seems they actually meant just out of my first XI. It also seems to have changed to a possible case of food poisoning now.
The symptoms just don't hold up for proper food poisoning, if you ever experienced it. As people like Pleat and Crooks have mentioned, it seems more like a bug and it's just one of those things.

Whether it's proper food poisoning is not really the issue. Several players were clearly ill and it cost them three points. Every reason to expect foul play.

If it was food poisoning what would the chances be of any of them getting out of bed let alone into a Spurs kit playing against West Ham.
