Actually that is a positive post because I expect us to do a hell of a lot better this season.
If you feel negative about our possibilities then there's not a lot I can do about it.

You must have missed my post in the January thread where I said we won't need anyone cos we'll be unbeaten.
:nunofist:
Was just having a laugh tbh.
I knew that...I was having a laugh, too.
Mine's a large one.Then there's only one thing for a pair of jokers like us to do...
This season I definitely would prefer that.
It's been done to death, but generally speaking, the travel distance is both shorter and usually more convenient when travelling to CL fixtures than farmers fields.
I don't think we've done bad in our group this year though
But on top of that, whilst Wednesday and Saturday is indeed the same number of days as Thursday to Sunday, there are the routines, days off and the fact a decent number of games are actually Sunday for tv.
IE, it's rarer to play Wednesday Saturday in the CL than Thursday Sunday in the lesser competitions
The week is seven days long - if you playing on two days per week you get five days off - three before and two after or two before and three after. It makes very little difference which way around, of course for EPL/CL you tend to play all your best players twice, whereas for EPL/Thursday nights 7//8/9 rotations is not unusual ... far easier for a manager to deal with the later scenario.
Yes, they said December and January, so was surprised to see the gooner game still at 3pm on a Saturday........never gonna happen!
Same will happen for the Goons game that got called off for no good reason.
I ummed and arrghed for ages about going to this game. Finally bit the bullet after arranging cover for someone to look after the other half.
The game was rearranged less than 12 hours later. Couldn't fuckin make it up.
FFS!!!!!!
Is the Burnley game likely to be moved? It's due to be played on 15th May at 430pm. I've actually been able to get time off of work to enjoy this one.
The full PL programme that weekend is scheduled for Sunday 15 May to avoid the FA Cup Final, but I suppose the time could be changed from 15:00 (are you sure it's schduled for 16:30? I've not heard that) or it could shift to the Monday evening. Could it also shift to Friday? There used to be a ten game per season limit on Friday matches, but I don't know if that is still the case (or if we've reached that already this season).
Looking at the other fixtures though there's West Ham v Man City*, Man U v Chelsea and Southampton v Liverpool* so I'd expect that those would be the TV picks, all of which I would have thought would be more attractive than Spurs v Burnley for most armchair supporters. But hey, what do I know?
*Just remembered that one of them will not be in the final, but I still can't see them picking our match.

Will they announce the Woolwich fixture change after the international break?
I very much doubt it. They'll probably wait until the last possible moment, say two weeks before the date. So it could be another 4-5 weeks before we know.
Ideally we don’t want it inbetween Leicester and Liverpool. That would be the worst time. So that’s good news. Top flight matches aren’t allowed to be televised at the same time as CL games.
Oh yeah. They must have changed the rule.
