Fixtures for next season released tomorrow. As I'm not invested in the World Cup, this is as exciting as it gets. Now who will be first to release the 'leaked' highlights before the official list?
-
Is this where we take wild guesses as to who we are playing and when?
First game - Coventry (h).
New Year's Day - one of Newcastle, Sunderland or Hull (a).
Last game - Bournemouth (location irrelevant). -
First game since promotion has been: Newcastle a, Arsenal a, Bournemouth h, Brentford h. Science says Brighton a.
Last game has been: Palace a, Burnley a, Chelsea h, Bournemouth h. Science says Sunderland a. -
So much for science.
Leeds h first game at 3pm on a Saturday. What kind of fucked up time is that to be playing football matches?
-
Sounds like we are not new and interesting any more....back to the west brom vs bolton slots.
-
Yes, no home game at Christmas boooo!
-
Newcastle away December 30th.
Tell you what - that's close for me, it really is. -
I wonder if Liverpool away will be televised? Not counting the promoted sides it's the only fixture we'll play this season that hasn't been televised since we came up.
-
On a quick check, I think Sunderland away on the 12 December and Bournemouth home on the 23 Jan are the only games that will be moved to Sunday for the three Europa league entrants. (Although, I guess statistically that's above average.)
-
Depending how far they get, we'd play Brighton at home the weekend before their last group game and away the weekend before the second leg of their semi-final.
-
Five of our last eight games are Leeds, Sunderland, Palarse, Ipswich and Coventry. Thats 15 points in the last eight games for a late season Champions League push.
