Fixture list 2020/1

[Coys1955]

Does that mean we ended up 9 points worse off...
Or that there were 9 incidents, that may or may not have resulted in points dropped?

Games like Man City at the start of the season (feels like a LIFETIME AGO!) clearly earned us a point... then again there's no telling how the Sheff Utd game would have turned out HAD Sonny's equaliser stood (We may well have easily gone on to still lose 3-1 instead of 3-0!!)
... but how many points SHOULD we have had, if there were no VAR??
I'm thinking we should've been about 3-5 points better off, bearing in mind we HAVE benefited on the odd occasion!)

We’d be 7 points and 4 places worse off according to the Mail. Between 8th & 12th according to another batch of VAR-less tables in other publications.

All agreed that Liverpool would have been relegated having scored only three legitimate goals all season.

The short answer is if it suits Manu and LiVarpool?

[Joshking5]

Defintely at least 4 (Bournemouth & Man U during the lockdown games).

Those 2 & the Sheff U decision were confirmed as incrorrect by the relevant body.

The Leicester game when son’s goal got dis allowed aswell, would have been a totally different game if that goes in. Poch might even still be here

Don't suppose that when the PL supercomputer spews it's completely unbiased fixtures out it could be made clever enough to ensure that the fixtures played behind closed doors were not replicated at the beginning of the next season so they have a chance of being played with some fans this time around?
Cough... NLD... cough...

Nine times out of ten the first NLD of the season is at Woolwich. I expect it to be at Spurs next season, as it looks increasingly likely that the 2nd half of the season crowds will have returned, as that's when a vaccine is likely to have been made widely available. Some teams seam to have influence over the fixture list and we're clearly not one of those teams and Woolwich are.

First game Leeds away.

At least we won't have to encounter the racists if it's behind closed doors.

We’ve had 28 opening day fixtures in the Premier League era. Our first match in the Premier League was a goalless draw at Southampton on 15 August, 1992. Our opening day record is won 11, drawn 7, lost 10.
We've played 21 of our 28 opening day fixtures in the Premier League away from home.
I would have to check but I wonder how many times we've played a newly promoted side first game of the season ?? Anybody know ?

Newcastle away 93/94 opening day - pretty sure they were newly promoted.

Aston Villa last season.

Palace away 13/14, Soldado penalty - think they were newly promoted.

 

[Bill Madrid]

Arsen@l to be at home for their first and last games.

Lump on. Licence to print money etc.

I disagree, the PL won't miss the chance to make some coin from the first time a crowd is at a NLD. It's like how they made sure to put Man United against us in the last game at WHL and also put them in the last game at Upton Park, they're always looking for ways to get a bit of extra money. I don't really think it's a bias thing IMO.

 

[Blanchflower]

The top 4 can't play each other on the opening weekend - but they always like a box office opening game......which means we will very likely play Liverpool, Utd, City or Chelsea

When are the fixtures out?

I read today that it could be as late at 21 August.

 

[Coys1955]

I mean I know you can't have rivals playing at home on the same day etc. but I didn't know that, is that an actual thing?

Yes it is.

 

[No. 149]

Yes it is.
