Fixtures 2020/21

West Ham have been well and truly fucked. How about this for an opening 7 games?

Newcastle
City
Liverpool
Arsenal
Tottenham
Wolves
Leicester

They're going to be in the relegation zone after that.

That’s brutal. On the bright side though it’s a nice easy start for big Sam when they sack Moyes and bring him back before Christmas

Will that Villa game not just move to the 15th? Still first game?

villa play in round 2 of carabro cup,so can't play vs city.

Could win the league at Brighton again

 

[Eccles Blue]

Bring 'em on, bring 'em all on!! We are Manchester City, the best team in the land, in all the world. We can beat them all.

I’ve cut out the rest because it’s completely irrelevant to this thread. I don’t think it’s a coincidence, it’s just an almost statistical certainty they would get games that can be considered to be at a favourable time just like every other clubs set of fixtures. Unless you got a City fan to write their fixtures personally there was always going to be something to jump on if you search enough and ignore everything that doesn’t suit.

For every team they’ve got at home second, they’ve got somebody else away. Their last 5 away games they’ve got Burnley, West Brom, United, Leeds and arsenal, assuming fans are back in by then, you couldn’t really hand pick a worse set of fixtures to play away to with a crowd backing them. It’s incredibly easy to cherry pick a few fixtures and claim it as proof of some mass conspiracy that simply isn’t there as you’ve clearly chosen to do.

Utter bollocks. The one thing they would have wanted if they could have picked the fixtures themselves is their 4 toughest home games of the season in the second half, and vice versa. And lo and behold it happens. Just a coincidence though. You say I’ve searched it and cherry picked - it’s actually the first thing I looked at, and there it is. Go back to your fantasy world, the one where football is clean and pure, and the football authorities and the media love City and liverpool the same. And while you are there please say hi to lord lucan who will be riding fucking shergar through never never land

Only disappointing things are livarpool getting their home game vs us later so more chance of a crowd, and that we get Leeds away early on, so no chance to go to Elland Road.
I do like our last 2 months of fixtures though.
Edit - what date do sky release their first batch of games?

 

[BringBackSwales]

So four of our first six games are away from home, who'd have thunk it?

And then just for good measure, tack Liverpool at home on to the end of it?

Not even trying to hide it.

Good run-in though.

And just to add, the next game after the dippers is spurs away

Not sure but some time after dippers and rags approve them

You made a good point in the first paragraph ninja that had crossed my mind. It would be very interesting if say, 10 City supporters compiled a realistic favourable and unfavourable fixture list for us and then compared them. I don't think they would be similar tbh.
