Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

I couldn't disagree more. How do you separate what city are doing and other teams performances. You can't. There is no coincidence here. You can't take one factor out of the equation and say the rest stays the same. Football doesn't work like that. Life doesn't work like that.

 

the fixtures are out today. I'm awaiting dribs thread on this but the usual fakes are out saying its luton away for LFC.

I would absolutely love that to be the first game. we might as well get the humiliation over with early and get resigned to the fact FSG won't back the club before the transfer window closes

 

Can’t happen given Luton’s first few games are away from home due to work ongoing on their stadium

 

awwww. spoilsport!

 

rumour is BURNLEY AWAY at yes fukcing 12:30am kick off.

 

John Hollins has died,aged 76.....RIP

 

THe real deal is CHELSEA AWAY

 

Chelsea away first. Not the fixture you want to start with short of quality midfielders. Need to get a move on in the transfer window.

 

Tricky first couple away games at Chelsea and Newcastle.

rbd to season looks alright and Christmas looks ok. No tough run of games

 

look again at Christmas

 

united at home
arsenal at home
Burnley away
Newcastle home

looks fine to me. 3 home games and an away game just down the road. Minimal travelling.

 

It's 3 top 6 games in short order.

travelling has nothing to do with it. those are tough games with no rest possibility.

we can forget the league cup as of today as these 4 games would be interfered with by league cup games.

that's a massively difficult challenge over a short period.

 

To be fair, being in the europa this year, that's probably one of the few periods where we'll have a run of games each requiring our best XI.

 

Or it’s a team we beat 7-0
a team that rarely wins at anfield
a newly promoted team
plus another team that rarely wins at anfield

play the team not the name

 

AH COME ON.

LOL

its the teams that are top 4 right now. today.

Man utd are baout to drop another 200-300mil on players. you cannot judge by a unique results and cannot be taken seriously if you do.

Arsneal finished 2nd and are either a top side or not. Barring a xhaka push and tired legs we were 0-2 down and well second best in that game til we woke up last season. either arsenal are a top side or they are not.

Newcastle are about to drop massive cash on their team due to doping. Thats not going to be a n easy game at all.

Those are 3 tough games right there in a very short period of time.

I'd suspect man city will not want their game with us to be saturday at 12:30 so we should be ok there but i see The other 3 games as somehow ending up at 12:30 on the saturday.

there are not too bad. 2 are away games so 100% going to be 12:30am

 

Ok it’s a team we’ve beat 7-0 and 4-0 in the last 2 home games we’ve played against them.

 

so?

you are talking like we are god's gift and didn't finish behind man utd in the league and man utd won't be improving at all.

Man utd are a top 4 side. its a tough game. I am not going to go back in time pulling out why its a tough game. Its tough for them too

the difference though

16: Liverpool (a)
23: West Ham (a)
26: Aston Villa (h)
30: Nottingham Forest (a)

If I were asked i'd rather their 4 fixtures than ours even though 3 are away games.

 

btw man city Christmas, no nothing dodgy to see there.

16: Crystal Palace (h)
23: Brentford (h)
26: Everton (a)
30: Sheffield United (h)

thats a massive ****ing difference!

 

Awkward contradicting yourself in the same line.

How do you know United won’t be 16th when we play them with us top having not lost a game all season?

3 home games is far easier than 3 away games. Our record at Anfield over the past x years is incredible. Even last year when we were **** still only lost 1 game at Anfield
