Fair to say that pattern should be notable in prior seasons where a significant number of friday games were payed. I do note that for this season the promoted clubs seem to be incurring a large amount of the burden.
The Friday game will on average be no advantage to either team. The one after will always favour the team that plays on Friday as they get at least one more day rest. Back in the days when matches were all on Saturday and weekend matches on Tuesday and Wednesday, playing on Tuesday was an advantage because half the time you would have an extra days rest over the following opponent. Playing systematically early is always better.
First you claimed there was an advantage. Now you are claiming that "on average" there is not. Spurs have had no material physical advantage in playing friday games this season. Their opponents OTOH have had an extra 1-2 days rest between games. Feel free to show this is not the case (for all combinations of fixtures preceding/following the friday games to date) .
The advantage is before the game after the Friday game as was completely clear in my initial reply. There is no reason a priori to expect a disadvantage on the Friday game itself but the advantage before the next game is inevitable because the next opponent has to have played more recently. Therefore Friday games are advantageous. Monday games are disadvantageous by the same logic.
December Goal of the Month: That Thomas goal against the filth was really well worked. Son's v Bournemouth might nick it though, due to the Lo Celso pass and the fantastic finish.
please log in to view this image Cole Palmer looking utterly unenthusiastic, which is fair enough really. Vicario has also been nominated for Save of the Month, again: Not sure that was even his best save in that match.
Friday night bollocks, FA cup games should be played Saturday 3pm ko and every kid should wear a rosette and carry an FA Cup made of cardboard covered in silver foil
F*CK OFF !!!! JUST F*CK OFF !!! If ITV cannot secure normal FA cup KO times for prime fixtures, that is THEIR problem not the clubs. Apart from the utter sacrilege of it, Spurs have had to endure it TWICE on successive rounds.
https://www2.deloitte.com/uk/en/pag...ey-league-real-madrid-returns-to-the-top.html I recall my prediction was that Spurs would surpass the revenues of Kings Rd FC at the end of this season (so the club have done even better ) . The Poool are similarly now only 50m odd ahead, but they are generally better performing on-pitch over tbe past 4 seasons (I expect them to have a decent PL + CL campaign this season so the revenue gap should widen quite a bit in the 2024 edition) . New WHL is having the desired effect, and only the timing of the Wuhan flu being utterly < standard > slowed it down.
