Tuesday 18th June - Fixture Release

[Hoghead]

You may be lucky. A lot of blues might still be on holiday.

As will a lot of our players!

Could be rags 2.......







Fulham 3!

He must have forgotten we, the champions, opened last season. Friday night v Kompany’s Burnley.

All those things will still happen they just probably won't happen on the exact day you expect at 3pm?

So what is the point of releasing the fixtures and dates, just but the fixtures and leave the dates

 

[glauberbertistossedshirt]

Twitter is awash with all things conspiracy. Liverpool fans think they’ve been done over and that the PL want Pep to get 5 in a row.

They’re also fucking we play Ipswich at home. No specific date, just that we get to play Ipswich at home as though they don’t.

Fucking mad house that place.

They fabricated a conspiracy involving the S.A.S and a West London football club to absolve themselves of murder. They are very very unwell.

How has Forest away on 4/12 already been decided for a 7:45 kick off?

Is it the first batch of the Amazon Prime December fixtures?

 

[Gray]

I see the powers that be have put the home derby the same weekend that Paul McCartney plays the Saturday and Sunday at the co-op arena! Talk about high profile and rammed parking!

I will not be there.

It's midweek so 7.45 is standard KO time - might move to 7.30 or 8 depending on TV

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Is it the first batch of the Amazon Prime December fixtures?

Ah yes, I forgot about Amazon. Thanks.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Ah yes, I forgot about Amazon. Thanks.

I'm betting Boxing Day v Everton (h) is changed to accommodate Amazon.

February is a killer, right when the Champions League knockouts start. Seems to be quite common that we have a tough February…

What's blatant and how does it matter? Are you suggesting that because we are away for the first game of the season our title challenge is over?

I’m saying it’s blatant because it always seems to happen that we’re away the first game of the season, and no I’m not suggesting our title challenge is over because we play an away game first, strange post.

No, but you are ignoring that it seems we might be requesting it.

We ask for it to be that way, apparently.

 

[balotellishaircut]

No I didn’t even think about that fact until I read your post.

 

[blueparrot]

No I didn’t even think about that fact until I read your post.

Been mentioned quite a lot by a few posters, we ask for it primarily because we have summer concerts to give the pith an extra week and this year we may have asked for away beginning and end for construction reason. The fact it’s every year seems it’s quite likely true.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Great thread. I was glad was over and was looking forward to two months off it. In typical tradition though these fixtures have got the juices flowing.

Same when it’s the CL draw. Can’t wait for August now.

 

[hertsblue]

Decent run-in for us, that.

Sat Apr 12 Crystal Palace H
Sat Apr 19 Everton A
Sat Apr 26 Aston Villa H
Sat May 3 Wolverhampton Wanderers H
Sat May 10 Southampton A
Sun May 18 A.F.C. Bournemouth H
Sun May 25 Fulham A

I reckon they know we come good 2nd half of the season so gave up giving us the tougher looking games as we would somehow come trough them all anyhow. The PL hope now for a not 5 in a row is we are too far behind due to the tougher games up to then.
Read about Dippers moaning (whats new) about our end to the season but not mentioning their piss easy start to bed the manager in. Had to laugh earlier though in the live text on BBC as they listed some Derby dates, Rags v Dippers (not us) , Wolves v Villa, Spurs v Arsenal.

You've obviously not read much of the thread, February is when the teams who finish 9-24 in the CL table go into the playoffs, 1-8 go straight through to the March last 16 games.

 

[malg]

Our (Arsenal's) 1st 3 away games are Villa, Spurs and Man City. Shit!

Ouch
