Because of the midwinter break in February, the Prem doesn't finish till 17 May, then FA final on 23 May, CL final on 30 May.
Useful to know that. Do we know the exact dates of the midwinter break yet as well?

Woah woah pal I'm still on treble time.
Don’t think it’s confirmed yet but my guess would be first or second weekend in February, depending on which side of the split we are on.Useful to know that. Do we know the exact dates of the midwinter break yet as well?
What I don’t get is why they have to move the FA Cup 5th round to midweek to accommodate the winter break. Surely they can just swap this with a regular PL weekend when all the teams are back?

seem to remember it's staggered so not all teams have a break at the same time so poor poverty stricken sky isn't left without games to show. Also, if this is the case I'm sure certain teams will get their break at a more useful time than others in regard to CL and the cups.Useful to know that.

Ok, cheers. Didn’t even realise about the staggered break. Might’ve guessed tv would come up with some ruse like that ...

I think this is the case - I'll admit now that my 'knowledge' is based on a pissed up conversation about 18 months ago though.Ok, cheers. Didn’t even realise about the staggered break. Might’ve guessed tv would come up with some ruse like that ...

Mid winter break is a great time to relax, get some sun & not report on human rights & sports washing......

I wonder...
Will the red Scouse mob be the first team ever to go into the winter break top of the league and still not win it?

Never underestimate recollections of aged pissed up conversations, especially when correct ;)I think this is the case - I'll admit now that my 'knowledge' is based on a pissed up conversation about 18 months ago though.
