Given that all games are televised why don’t the TV companies actually have more than one game on at the same time and leave those teams in Europe to play Saturday at 3.00. Heaven forbid they try and help teams as other countries do. Always try and fuck around and mess it up. We either end end with less time before or after based on these fixtures assuming we get through to the next round.

Simply because it would mess up the audience figures. Most of the bigger matches involve at least one club still in European football. If you had City, Liverpool, and Chelsea all playing at the same time it would be disastrous for viewing figures.

Football is basically run by the TV companies. They dictate the schedules.

I have put together all our remaining fixtures and possible future FA Cup and CL dates in the calendar below ... have also added possible free mid-weeks and other slots available till the end of the season (like where other Champions League R16 games are going on, but we're free) ... I think we should be using the very first available ones for those already postponed games as later further games could get postponed due to FA Cup late stages or more Covid related postponements ...

Will update this here regularly till the end of season as and when our games get moved for COVID or clashes with cup dates etc. or when TV fixtures come out.

As of now we have Everton (A) postponed due to COVID and Southampton (H) postponed for clash with the League Cup Final in late April ...

PS. I still don't see the point of that stupid international fucking break right in the middle of it all ... when players will be plying (up to) three international games like it's been this season in previous breaks too (as opposed to normal two) within that week.

Not any more than January or February where we played 9 and 8 games respectively. If we win the FA Cup QF, we'd have 7 games in April, 8 if we win the CL QF as well then first leg of SF is at the end of April as well so that'll take it to 8, but then we have already played 9, 8 and 6 games in Jan-Feb-Mar ... only 6 in March as that's only 20 days of March, last ten are part of the International Break so some players would play 2-3 games in that as well.

Edit. Will update the calendar after the CL draw on Friday and when those two QF ties are decided and along with it our first PL fixture of April.

Well as things stand, this is where we are ...

Changes to this coming based on Friday - CL Draw
Sat - FA Cup QF
Sun - FA Cup SF Draw (If we win on Sat)
The CL QF will be Tue/Wed or Wed/Tue and depending on that Leicester game could move from Sat to Sun.

So next update of the calendar after the Friday CL Draws ... and then another one after FA Cup game (and it's Draw).

OK here's the update after the CL draw and confirmed CL QF dates ... before you jump on me putting Bayern/PSG dates already ... that's just to see where CL SFs could be and what games are before/after those ties - obviously if we get past Dortmund first.

Guess our Leicester game won't move from Sat 5:30pm now. Arsenal v Liverpool was on Sun 4th at 4:30pm I guess they'll swap with Sat 8pm Villa v Fulham slot as that's on Sky too. There was a plan to swap with our tie if we had the Wed QF and they got Tue but since both get Tue QF, that's where they'd logically go to now and our Leicester game remians.

Edit: I know jumping ahead but that CL SF worries me as that could be Tue 27th or Wed 28th ... I have put Wed 28th but CL won't care if we have the Carabao Cup Final on Sun 25th. And I guess that is final as well and not able to move to Sat 24th just in case ...

carabao is fixed on sun and u are saying CL could tell us to play semi final on tue? and first leg would be away as well? surely pep would go blastic if that happens but looking at dates it could very well happen. someone check psg and bayern on that weekend of carabao final. but their league probably helps them change even if they have a game then.

Not sure about the weekend before the first leg but Bayern have no game on the weekend in between which gives them an advantage, we play Palace away, if we get through hopefully we will be in a position to play the second team for that one.
 
How does it work with the plan to move a round of fixtures to the midweek slot May 18-20 to take advantage of the ability to have crowds in?

I assume that the FA Cup finalists will have to bring the matches scheduled for the FA Cup Final date forward to the (now) vacated weekend slot?

No, what they're moving isn't the second last weekend, but the mid-week games of 11/12 May (we have Newcastle A) to the midweek of 18/19 May ... so the FA Cup Finalists will instead just have to move their league games from 15/16 back to 11/12 May instead of 18/19 May. Hope that makes sense.

Am I right in saying that if we reach the FA Cup final, Newcastle (A) would be the first league game we play with fans in the stadium?

if the league games are allowed fans in it be the last two games of the season. home fans only so newcastle would have their fans in and for us it will be against everton at home I think. we might also have fans allowed as test events in carabao final and the fa final but that too is not confirmed and reports are that might only allow wembley area london fans to go in rather than from outside the postcodes so who knows what will happen.
 
What a month we have coming up:

3rd April - Leicester (A) - League
6th April - Dortmund (H) - Champions League Quarter Final
10th April - Leeds (H) - League
13th April - Dortmund (A) - Champions League Quarter Final
17th April - Chelsea (N) - FA Cup Semi Final
21st April - Potential to move the Aston Villa League game to here (originally April 17th) if we progress in Europe
25th April - Spurs (N) - League Cup Final
27th/28th April - Bayern/PSG - Potential Champions League Semi Final (Most likely played on the 28th due to the League Cup)


Brutal but what a time to be supporting City.
 
Brutal, pretty much confirms that Quadruple is absolutely impossible.

Domestic treble looks pretty likely.
