Fixtures Calendar - 2021/22

[cptaidan88]

Sat: Chelsea (A)
Tues/Weds: CL Game 2
Sat: Liverpool (A)

Nice! F’ing joke the way the PL hamstrings their teams flying the flag in Europe, while other countries go out of their way to help their clubs!

Thats the only challenging run though. All the others are quite kind fixtures in my opinion. Even United away is good in terms of travel.

MD1 - Leicester (a) then Southampton (h)
MD2 - Chelsea (a) then Liverpool (a)
MD3 - Burnley (h) then Brighton (a)
MD4 - Palace (h) then United (a)
MD5 - Everton (h) then West Ham (h)
MD6 - Watford (a) then Wolves (h)

So matches preceding CL games - 3 at home, 3 away. Matches after CL games 3 home and 3 away. Seems quite fair and some kinder games in there too.

Anyone know when they announce the dates/times for the August games

Around 5th-10th July ... August and September TV Picks would be announced, and future dates of when next months TV picks will be as well.

Actually correction, Premier League have announced a date for first TV picks (August only): Broadcast selections for the month of August will be announced by Monday 21 June 2021

I can see everyone else playing first and us being on Monday Night Football on Sky!

harry kane's debut anyone?

That's what Sky are banking on when they made their request to the PL.

Get them out of the way during group games, I'm all for that...much better than a last 16/QF/Semi between them.

Can someone figure this one out please so I can fix the calendar accordingly.

IS THERE ANOTHER fucking International Break at end Jan/early Feb?

I had assumed 29/30 Jan being an FA Cup weekend and next 5/6th Feb being part of that winter break that's why we are on 9th Feb but I see everyone is that mid week and both weekends are off for Premier League.

Premier League have cited this in the fine print:

International break​

The weekend of Saturday 29 January 2022 forms part of the FIFA International Match Calendar, and as such, no Premier League matches have been scheduled.


And then I have found this on a quick Google search ...

There is an international window for all confederations excluding UEFA from January 24 to February 1 2021, which may see clubs without some players for a round of fixtures if they are subject to a mandatory release.

In 2021, an international break is scheduled between March 22 and March 30, with it likely UEFA nations will compete in friendlies during this time while other countries play qualifying matches for other tournaments, including for the delayed AFCON in 2022.

Is it for Afcon? Is FA Cup and Carabao off during that as well? I guess that bit of the calendar would change but I can't see a winter break mentioned anywhere where half the teams play one weekend and others play the next ... these two weekends are completely off ?!?

I've heard from my usually reliable source at the PL that we'll play every other team in the PL twice. Once at home and once away.

The bastards trying to nobble us again.

Pep will love that start. It means the squad have to be on it from the first match.
