2019/20 fixtures

[Momo]

The fixtures are out tomorrow. Apart from seeing when we play the scum or blueshite I look at first game, Boxing Day and last game of the season.

Who do you want on those days?

1st - Villa
Boxing Day - Brighton
Last - Bournemouth

 

[Insignificance]

Boxing day against Newcastle or Arsenal... half decent.

 

[Woland]

I look at the first six and hope it doesn't have many big games in it. Good start is crucial. The rest I'm not really bothered about. Probably be away at Christmas so not bothered about that. We'll have the league won in April so last game doesn't matter.

 

[SummerOnions]

City first game of the season to kick things off with a win away from home

 

[hmmmmm1]

Rumours we have burnley away. City have wolves away for the first game

[Momo]

Don’t the tv companies update the fixtures 10 days after release?

 

[Hansern]

Burnley away is a bit of a cunt of a fixture to start the new season.

Burnley away is a bit of a cunt of a fixture to start the new season.

Not ideal, by any means. However, we looked so much more adept at negotiating this kind of fixture last season. Let's hope that continues into this.

 

[JurgenKlopp]

Not too many difficult ones in first 6. We will probably get arsenal in that first

 

[JurgenKlopp]

Never quite understand why there are no massive derby games on first day. Us v everton or united. United v city, arsneal v spurs etc....

Because people are excited enough to watch first match of the season anyways, regardless of who is playing. TV wants to save big fixtures for later to keep viewership up.

The supposed random system isn’t random. It has parameters to stick to and one is no massive derby games first or last game of the season.

Yeah, there was a 442 article about it a f3w years back, the parameters are very many & varied. The amount of permutations that are involved are nuts. Yet they still manage to put us against Southampton at a kick off time that means the trains have stopped running by full time.

 

[Brizzle]

If it is Burnley - they got better towards the end of the season after they had recovered from their Europa League fatigue. We'll likely be going there with only 1 of the front three in a good state of fitness, could be a very tough one.

 

[HC]

1st weekend or two is always a cluster fuck for form etc anyways , so not too fussed who we play , think the charity shield the week prior will give us the edge against whoever

 

[The Nomad]

Talkshite reckons this is wrong. They said "west ham are in for a cracker". Watford is not a cracker

 

[Momo]

Friday night home to Norwich on sky sports.

 

[doctor_mac]

That's a great fixture.

 

[Momo]

Away to Leicester on Boxing Day. Away to Newcastle last game.

 

[Momo]

Blueshite dec 4 (H) and March 14 (A).

Scum October 19 (A) and January 18 (H).

 

[Woland]

First game against City, home on November 9th.

Just looked at the fixtures and they all look easy. Think they'll be after 38 wins

 

[Woland]

We play Friday, Man U Chelsea on Sunday. Then we play Chelsea on Tuesday in the Super Cup.

That looks a bit weird, yeah?

 

[The Nomad]

Final 3 games

Us
Arsenal away
Chelsea home
Newcastle away

City
Bournemouth home
Watford away
Norwich home

One set is much harder than the other there.

 

[The Nomad]

4th April City vs Us.

That's city's final 'hard' game

 

[Momo]

Good job we would have won the league by then.

 

[tombrown]

Cunt of a run in, but who cares when we will be 15 points clear by mid April

[hmmmmm1]

A good opening weekend for us. A tasty game between chelsea and united

 

[Momo]

Watching the derby through a streaming service is going to be a bitch. No way I’m going out to watch it.
