Christ, February is going to be mental. Tough fixtures plus UCL knockout games plus maybe a CC final?
With the new format if we finish in the top 8 there will be no champions league games in February as both our knockouts will be in march I believeIt's the last 16 KO I think of Champs League, so not usually as bad ( famous last words), unless they have changed it. The tough ones come in April and early May ( quarters/semi) ie when we traditionally meet Bayern and Real, perm any way we get them!!
yeah but TBF...they have to play the Champions twice....we don't.Random computer generated fixtures my arse.
Last fixture of January and all of February against potentially all the top 6 sides.
I've not looked but i bet Arsenal, rags or Scousers have got a run of 6 games like that!!
It's usually the way. I noticed it a few years ago ( I make a rule to buy a copy of The Times which has every club fixture list side by side. I keep a note of our scores and fixtures and those of Top 6 challengers, I can see so many patterns with favourable TV viewing picks and timings that help the Red cartel clubs ( usually disadvantage us) but what has always stood out is that Rags never ever get an horrendous run of tough fixtures - may occasionally get say Chavs and Arse near each other, but definitely in their favour.Fook me Utd have a very manageable fixture list. They don’t have one tricky month all big games spaced out.
