So Sky has one single game of ours (Spurs A) across the whole of August and September ... they may (or may not) show our Carabao Cup third round tie in Sept, but that's that.

In October, no doubt they'd pick our visit to Anfield but beyond that I don't see any one picking any more of our PL ties, so two PL games in three months ... at whatever rate one pays per month to Sky!

Part of me wants us to sign messi simply to see if these fuckers backtrack like hell to shoehorn more of are fixtures in during August and September the scrambling would be off the scale ..
 
Are we not bothering with pre-season friendlies apart from the Community Shield?

Nothing listed in the fixtures on the City website
 
Is it coincidence that 5 of our first 6 away games are spurs, dippers, rags, chavs and Leicester? If someone was trying really hard to derail our season especially after a major tournament then this is what they’d do but I am sure it’s just a coincidence

I did wonder this.

I'd love to see us announce a series of friendlies with local teams that need the cash. However knowing our lot we'll play the dippers and rags in China/USA and fly back the day before the charity shield...

Short answer: No
Long answer: What you suspect

And then only have to play them once in 32 games. Yeah. Seems unfair. Another agenda idiot. You play every team twice. It doesn't matter when. If you're gonna beat them, you'll beat them. If you're not, you're.not.

I wonder what the mathematical chance is of 5 of your first 6 away games against 5 out of 6 of the teams immediately below you in the Premier League last season. Some odds on that happening mate. It may not be driven by agenda but he is not an idiot to think it.

Look how far we were behind after the Tottenham away game last season
Did it make a difference then?
In 2015, we won the first 7 games. We then played West ham and lost. We didn't win the league that season. Proof that it matters not how you start the season. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Early season form doesn’t normally have a big impact unless another team goes on a mad winning run, a bit like we did 17/18. We were atrocious early on last season and I was sure we weren’t going to make top 4. I think we’re in for another rough start seeing as most of the squad have only just started their holidays. Letting the players have a significant amount of time off after a few years of the chaotic schedules will do them some good.

Preston friendly needs putting on @MAG

Sorry mate, that's not gonna go into the calendar. I had thought about it when creating the calendar and decided to start from August and leave July out which might be one or two friendlies ... given the shape and format of the calendar August this year to May next year covers everything over 10 months (so two rows of five months each, five in 2021 and five in 2022). Adding the 11th month just for a one off friendly was going to mess up the formatting of the calendar. So for the July date (which will be only this Preston one), you will have to put it in your own diary and any friendlies and pre-season games that fall in August will be reflected in the calendar.

Edit: @blue b4 the moon On second thought, I have squeezed July with August :)

Calendar is great. Just 2 changes needed for Carabao Cup on calendar - push the quarter final back a week to week before Christmas and bring semi final second leg forward a week so it is week after first leg. Cheers.

Not just that but the likelihood must be that games will be played with crowds in the early games, with further Covid outbreaks more likely and dangerous in the autumn winter, so the adds are we play spurs scum dippers chavs and Leicester away with crowds and at home maybe without crowds. Those 5 away in the first 6 aways is a mathematical fucking miracle

Agreed.
There is another way of looking at it though - they all have to play us ! :-)
