stressederic Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 So the fixture list for next season gets published tomorrow. According to the rules I'm pretty sure that we can't be drawn against any of last season's top 4 on the opening day and probably not Everton either. So, as is traditional, we can wildly speculate about who we'll be playing first and whether or not we'll get screwed over during the festive season (although is there a break this year for it?). I reckon we'll start against Bournemouth.
Hightown Phil Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 I can't believe that leak actually made journalists write a story. Staggering.
Nebraska Red Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 I can't believe that leak actually made journalists write a story. Staggering.It's been months since the season ended, they have had nothing to write about since City's valiant effort to win the league on a limited budget.
Gethin Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Was looking at the dates for next season the other day. Hadn't realised that the FA Cup 5th round is going to be midweek - I guess this is to accommodate the staggered winter break thing?
Cunny Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 the leak is clearly b******sthey never release the televised fixtures at the same time, they always just say Saturday 3pmBT don't have rights to the 5:30 Saturday games anymore
Hassony Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 There will be televised boxing day games on Sky or Bt this season, all the games will be available on Amazon
Hightown Phil Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 the leak is clearly b******sthey never release the televised fixtures at the same time, they always just say Saturday 3pmBT don't have rights to the 5:30 Saturday games anymore And Wolves and Villa won't play at home on the same day. There will be televised boxing day games on Sky or Bt this season, all the games will be available on Amazon If it's anything like their tennis coverage the picture will be crap and it will be delayed.
McBain Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 And Wolves and Villa won't play at home on the same day. Villa Sunday and Wolves Monday according to the supposed leak
Hightown Phil Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) Villa Sunday and Wolves Monday according to the supposed leak Well yeah, but they never announce the TV fixtures when the fixtures come out and Villa and Wolves won't play at home in the same set of fixtures all season cos they'll be paired like us and Everton are. I can knock a list up that literally has more chance of being true in 30 seconds. So here's one. Tottenham v SouthamptonCrystal Palace v NewcastleAston Villa v ArsenalEverton v Sheffield UnitedNorwich v Manchester CityManchester United v BurnleyChelsea v BournemouthBrighton v LiverpoolLeicester v WatfordWest Ham v Wolves Gonna put it on twitter and claim it's a leak.

stressederic Posted June 12, 2019 Author Posted June 12, 2019 It'll be f***ing Spurs It can't be. The previous season's top 4 can't be drawn against each other on the opening weekend.
scoose Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 It can't be. The previous season's top 4 can't be drawn against each other on the opening weekend. Didn't know that
Nathan Explosion Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 It can't be. The previous season's top 4 can't be drawn against each other on the opening weekend. Curiosity - can you link to where it states that?
stressederic Posted June 12, 2019 Author Posted June 12, 2019 It might even be the top 6 actually. This is from before last season: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/05/07/revealed-premier-league-fixture-list-engineered-stop-biggest/ I'm sure I saw a BBC article from a season or so back that explained the same. I'll try and find it.

Can't find a BBC article but here's one from the Independent: https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/premier-league-fixtures-man-utd-arsenal-liverpool-chelsea-man-city-tottenham-a8398136.html Looks like there was a similar article by the Express but f*** them.
