surely it is not beyond the capabilities of the premier league to give each team a home game either first or last game of the season...there is no justification for any team to play both away from home
As I said on another thread, I don't mind starting the season away from home providing it means we finish it at home... But no, the FA screwed us over on that. Mugs. To make things even better, we also play away on Boxing Day. As for the fixtures in general, I'm happy with how we have a pretty even spread in terms of not having to face too many big sides all in one go, and I think West Ham is a perfect opener for us after last season, I'd like to think that the lads will want to start the season with a bang under Poch and get revenge on those Pikeys.
Just thought I would get this out of storage in preparation for later today-probably we'll have the same moans
Perfect start if you ask me. As long as Poch and Levy do the business early. I heard Kane may miss the first couple of games. So important to have a solid striker signing to cover.
As usual away to start and finish BUT home on boxing day And if we do happen to still be in the Europa come April time.........
....as long as! I'd still have preferred something a little less daunting than a visit to O.T. First up...
I hope we're well clear at the top by the end of March if we wanna get 4th because our run-in sucks balls.
Not a massive amount of travel during November and December actually. Hopefully that might offset some of the EL crap and keep us semi-fresh coming into 2016. We'll probably do a Levy-mid-season-tour or something though
That is a nasty run in for the final third of the PL season. Another thing that gets me is why are the NLDs near always Library first and not WHL. I cannot believe that the fixture scheduler is forced to come up with that.
Is anyone surprised that certain clubs get to start and end their seasons at home - while we don't? Spurs: Man Utd (a), Newcastle (a) Man Utd: Spurs (h), Bournemouth (h) Chelsea: Swansea (h), Leicester (h) Arsenal: West Ham (h), Villa (h)
How have they worked it so that some clubs have both their opening and final fixture either home or away? That just seems stupid, to me. It should be one or the other, surely?
"How have they worked it so that some clubs have both their opening and final fixture either home or away? That just seems stupid, to me. It should be one or the other, surely?" Would make sense to bias it so that the predicted top/bottom 4 all play their final game with the same advantage (all home/away) .
