yeah - hadn't got that far but it looks like we have a gentle start and finish to the season with all the tough ones in between. Christmas to new year has been quite kind too in terms of travel. Home to West Ham, Home to Man City, away to Chelsea

Can't believe it took 7 minutes for someone to start this thread!!

 

Usually starts within a couple of seconds.

 

However, looks a fairly well balanced list (apart from the usual)- like last season - so should struggle then!!

Fixtures are really good this time. All well spaced out, no obviously awful runs of games at any point. Christmas a great mix of winnable games, big games and mostly home games. End of season lots of favourable fixtures. First 3 games plenty of chances for points. Couldn't have asked for more.

 

Yeah agree adriansfc. Really happy with the opening run of fixtures. Hope we can get off to a good start. Liking the fact we have mostly home games over the festive period and a home game to finish off the season. COYR :)

For the first time ever I think I can actually say it’s a decent set of fixtures for us. The run in, Spurs and Pool aside is very good.

Apart from 1st December to 1st January period where we play 5 of the 'Top 6' at a time of year we don't seem to normally perform well, the season seems quite well balanced with easier (on paper) start and ending.

Got to be happy with that start but it does mean that we need to get points on the board early (just like last season), so we need to get our squad sorted asap so we're ready to go on day 1...! Run in not awful either if we need points at the end of the season...

 

Home games to start and finish, and on boxing day

Looking at Liverpool September 22.... This game will mark 868 days since we last beat a top 6 side in the league.

 

Got a funny feeling we will pinch this one*

Burnley at home will most likely be on Sunday as they'll be in a Europa league qualifier the Thursday before (hopefully somewhere involving a long flight)

Clearly they've made some sort of mistake, we're playing United....

A nice laid out fixture list I think. More ballance than last season for sure.

 

A decent start and a chance to pickup points early doors. December is geared up to be our usual null-points period, but we could get some blockbuster results over that time - maybe.

 

Always like a home game to start and end the season, - and boxing day. So all good for me.

Burnley will have 9th and 16th August pencilled in for their Europa 3rd round quals so we won't be playing them on Saturday.

 

Is there any possibility that it will be moved to the Monday night? I need to book some ferry crossings.

Because they wanted to say something pertinent?

No, Sky and BT will choose the five games that involve the big six teams, they always do.

 

If Burnley are out of Europe by then, it'll be the Saturday, if they're still involved it'll be moved to the Sunday.

 

We'll only know on the 2nd August what day we'll play on, unless the Premier League decide to move it to the Sunday anyway to save the fans hassle.

Well, we could not have hoped for a better start than this, beat Burnley & Leicester and we will be off to a flying start against the sort of teams we ought to beat and used to beat and then our run of fixtures gives us every chance of top 3 at the end of October.

 

This provided that we do not get disrupted by key players leaving and Hughes getting our "hidden quality" back on view and in full flow.

 

By the way who was that complete tool who published the fake fixture list with Man U at home as our first game?

In addition to the Burnley fixture, it looks like we might clash with Champions League/Europa League fixtures as follows …

 

CL matches on September 18 and 19 - we are scheduled to play Liverpool away on 22 September (might not needed to be switched)

EL match on October 4 - we are scheduled to play Chelsea at home on 6 October

EL match on December 13 - we are scheduled to play Arsenal at home on December 15

I remember this time last year seeing our "easy" start and predicting we would be top of the league at Bonfire night. That went well then.:blush: I'll keep quiet this time round although our fixtures till the end of October look pretty comfortable

I'd rather play the better teams at the start, especially after a World Cup when loads of their players will be back late to training and may have a bit of a tournament hangover. That could all be a myth of course. Getting the top teams over Xmas is a bit of an issue, where they can use their squad rotation ability to the max, but at least we have quite a few home games in that time.

 

Overall pretty happy though, although our start is decent, it's not 'easy' like last season, which means if we do drop points we won't be feeling like it'll cost us come the end of the season, but if we win then it sets us up nicely.
