23/24 season fixtures

[BernardMatthews]

I thought we’d either be playing at NWHL or away from home first up. Looks like my assumption was correct. Also looks like we’re playing every side home and away during the course of the season. Seems fairly balanced on that basis.

I was thinking just the same thing…..

 

[Richard Arlison]

Have to wonder how nobody at the premier league looked at our run-in and thought that was reasonable???

After forest H, we play 3 title challengers straight.

No sure I've seen that before for any team.

 

[randombere]

So we are away for the first and last matches, thought you were supposed to get one of those at home.

Me too. I assumed we’d finally be home again for the last game when I saw the first fixture. What a load of shit!

Last season the scum had the easiest fixtures as per this article by the athletic, they still have an easy run but newcastle have the hardest start. Chelsea have the easiest, then Man City, then us then the scum.

our summary

Tottenham Hotspur​

Ange Postecoglou has been drafted in to fix Tottenham, who had a miserable campaign last season.

He will look at his opening run as a kindness. They face two newly-promoted teams and just one who finished in the top four last season.

It’s Brentford, Manchester United, Bournemouth, Burnley and Sheffield United to start the season. Postecoglou will be looking to provide some hope in that opening run.

Fixtures: Brentford, Manchester United, Bournemouth, Burnley, Sheffield United

The Premier League fixtures are out — and this is how each team's start ranks in terms of toughness.

They should have European quarter and semi finals to be dealing with. We get to spend more time with rest and recovery.

They will have more injuries and be more tired too.

All in our favour.

When was the last time scum had a tough first day?

 

[Starks]

I think Brentford is a good test.

They're predominantly a sit back and counter team. Pretty much what Ange would have dealt with during his entire tenure at Celtic.

 

[Biff]

I'm sure it's happened more recently than I can remember but when was the last time we played Woolwich at home before we played them away? Seems like we're away first every fucken season

Just looked into and think it happened in the Covid closed door season. But before that got to go back to 2011..

 

[randombere]

Me too. I assumed we’d finally be home again for the last game when I saw the first fixture. What a load of shit!

And the scum are home for both. Ffs

First 4 games gives us a great chance to get a bit of momentum. People will say it’s difficult which of course every game is but if we aren’t confident about Brentford,Utd,Bournemouth and Burnley then we are tucked. It’s crazy how a season can be built so early.

 

[BernardMatthews]

Fuck me. I’m glad I don’t employ half of you lot. Bunch of fucking negative Nancy’s. Man the fuck up.

Don’t worry about what you can’t control. Focus on what’s in front of you. Who gives a shit about woolwich. Well most of you lot clearly.

But as I remember it the nuno season we were top played 3 won 3 and they were bottom played 3 lost 3.
I have no idea who they played.

Does that make you happy? Pointless fucking stat really.

Que sera sera.

 

[cretinousgoat]

Some right fucking whingers on this thread.

Go have a yorkie and a cup of tea and shut the fuck up.

Indeed, good points.

tbh the start and Christmas is very good.

If we aren't ready for those fixtures by the end of the season, then we never were going to be.

Luckily we are out of Europe and will be out of the domestic cups early , this will allow us to be fresh as a daisy for these games . Whilst the competition will have the unnecessary, total waste of time burden of challenging for the league , European Glory and domestic cup success . Who knows, some of their players and management might also be distracted by thinking about rewarding their fans with an open top bus parade and all that goes with it . Again no such distractions for us , the admin staff can get on with planning our next pre season tour of 3 games in Saudi Arabia.

Their fixtures were so well tailored for them to have a good season last year.

Where we have 3 away in our first 4 games.

 

[Top_Spur]

Pretty good start tbh.

I'd rather play Man Utd first game at home of the season with a lively atmosphere than on a crappy Wednesday night in January.

Other three games are winnable on paper.

 

[Jimmy D]

I think the reason we've been playing at home the last couple of years or so, is that we have to play two consecutive away in October. When our stadium is given over to American football.

Thanks. Still not sure why that would mean we’d be away for the start and end though?

Kicking Brentford in the happy sack sounds like a good way to start the season.
