The Bolton fans who travelled down to London for the game were angry that the "health and safety brigade" were behind the postponement of the match.

The snow in Bolton had been much heavier than it was here in London. The pitch was fine to play the game on, but as with other matches this year the game is off just in case a fan slips over on their way to the stadium. If those Bolton fans can get to the Emirates Stadium I'm sure the Arsenal fans can make it.

Did you see the weather at the Bills-Colts NFL match last weekend, over 6 inches of snow fell during the game and that didn't stop them, I've no idea how much snow had fallen before that game, but in the UK when the weather turns bad the country shuts down.

I wonder how many more games will be called off this weekend?

Ah I'm a Manchester United fan here too and this year seems like it'll be a close one with more teams wanting the top 4 spots! But to be honest I would want Arsenal (if not United do it) to win the league this year. They do deserve to win something this year :D

Only 4 Premier League games left and only 7 others left in the rest of the football league - mind you it is the coldest winter now since 1963 so they may have an excuse.

On edit: Make that 5, as I forgot about the Man City - Blackburn game on Monday

This heath & safety crap is the reason the games are getting called off, the pitches are fine, except for the 6th game off at Wigan where the undersoil heating has supposedly failed.

They had no trouble with the West Brom-Notts Forest game last night.

The games in the Scottish Cup are still on, snow and ice near the grounds is being cleared away.

In Cincinnati where they've had snow (probably at least as much as in the UK) ahead of their NFL Wild-Card game heath & safety won't stop that match.
