Premier League Fixtures 2018 - 2019

Actually I quite like it.

An interrupted pre season so "easier" start on paper welcome.

The big games close together after 4 months to bed in the new players better.

Also a loud ringing bell to transfer committee (like they didn't already know) that squad depth of quality will be vital.

If we get a good start to the season then the glass half full view is we could have done serious damage by end of calender year.

Also, as lazy good for nothing armchair fan (cough) ...Christmas viewing is going to be awesome lol

 

Yeah this is a bonus.

 

I have a new lady friend who doesn't like or understand football. I might have to dump her by then.

 

We play Spurs(a), Chelsea(h) and City(a) with Saints in between in a 21 day time period, ****ing rigged.

 

I know! Fuming Southampton are going to **** up our winning streak.

 

Also,

"The Champions League group stage will commence on 18-19 September, and last season's beaten finalists Liverpool face an away Premier League fixture before all of their six group games. That includes trips to Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham."

 

It's games after playing in Europe that teams usually fall down on, how do those games look.

 

However, Liverpool will be at home after EVERY Champions League game - although the final two are Everton and Manchester United.

 

Not fanboy, then?

 

Save on crimbo prezzies as well

 

Thread merge?

 

Decent start to ease our way into the season. Hopefully our players will not pick up any injuries at the World Cup. Not really bothered when we play the other top 6 teams, everyone has to play everyone else twice anyway.

 

Haven't even begun to think about that.

 

not yet.

I am saving that insufferable annoyance for late july just for saint.

 

This one's a dedicated match thread, it seems.
Dribs is quick off the mark.

Basically we have a DECENT start a DECENT Christmas and and EASY run in.

my main concern would be

block 2

Tottenham Hotspur (A)
Southampton (H)
Chelsea (A)
Manchester City (H)

3 top 4 rivals (and city ) in the block so thats a hump to get over.

 

Need at least 11 points from this block

 

To win the league sure sure...

To just keep pace we need 6/7 points.
