PL Fixtures Released on August 20

[ninjamonkey]

With no fans for the foreseeable, the TV companies will reschedule the entire fixture list to suit them.

It’s a complete farce that spurs will basically have to sacrifice either the Europa league or the carabao cup due to fixture congestion.

If we,or any other team in Europe (bar furlough fc who only participate in one competition a year anyway) progress in the cups too it’s going to be impossible for them to finish the season in time without an absurd pile up.

Can you imagine if we get to the knockout rounds in Europe and the semi’s in both cups, we could have almost half a dozen games in hand to play within about 2 weeks with potentially the title at stake. They’re clearly just hoping it doesn’t happen. If there’s a covid spike that means football has to be put on hold for even a few weeks or there’s some bad weather that postpones games the entire league is screwed.

just nonsense of the highest order that they've done away with 5 subs given these circumstances.

We’re potentially playing United in Budapest 24th September in the super cup!

Even more reason to bin off the domestic cups. Let the EDS play them.

Gives the likes of us an advantage according to the spiteful 9

Yes it gives the advantage to the clubs with bigger squads and strength in depth so rejected by practically everyone but us and Chelsea i guess.

Theres me thinking that all prem clubs were only allowed 25...……...
Each Premier League club have submitted a squad list for the 2019/20 season.
Each squad contains no more than 17 players who do not fulfil the "Home Grown Player" (HGP) criteria.
The rest of the squad, up to a total of 25 players, must be "Home Grown".
Each club squad list is below as well as an additional list of each club's registered Under-21 players who are eligible over and above the squad limit of 25 players.

Liverpool at home early on is almost guaranteed

Effectively television could manipulate the fixtures to help the redshirts gain advantage over us?

Same sized squads for everyone.

Clubs complain about too much football, fatigue injuries to players and the necessity for a winter break but turn down a solution and the chance for ‘smaller’ clubs to field stronger teams in winnable cup competitions.

City have had no help over the years from any of the authorities so I hope we put our own interests first when it comes to international call ups, invitational events etc.

BPLM.......Blue Players Lives Matter !!
