Although it would be proper Spurs for us to get drawn to Aberdeen and they go into lockdown once again the day before.

What a stupid conflicting headline. Click bait bullshit. The moment you go on the article, it says 2022 ffs. Ridiculous and not even worth worrying about. Half those players won’t be there.
Maybe I am reading too much into it but it also neglects to mention that this will affect other clubs around us as much, if not more, trying to overstate the impact on Spurs.
The fact that Gazzanigga, Aurier, Foyth are used as examples of how this is so concerning shows how laughable the "report" is.
May as well just declare that the winter break..... Surely it's gonna decimate the league of a whole host of star names.... Aguero, Mane, Salah, Jesus blah.....
Decent start to the season. So important to get off to a good start. No reason why we shouldnt.
Easy 80+ points there.
Typical. First time no fans can be in the stadium for the first game of the season, and also the first time in ages we've had a home game 
Also first time in many years that I remember us playing Woolwich at home first. Usually the home game is towards the end of the season
I know you can’t satisfy every one with regards to fixtures but if you had a home game behind closed doors at the end of last season you should have the opportunity to play that team in front of a home crowd this season. Those games should be scheduled towards the end of the season to increase the likelihood of fans being in attendance. For example, Woolwich had a crowd and home advantage against us, the return fixture was played behind closed doors so we had no home advantage. This season we play them home first in December when I would imagine the best we can hope for is a reduced attendance. We play at theirs in March when likelihood of closer to capacity home attendance is greater and gain an advantage.

We started with a home game last season.
Probably the period that will have the biggest impact on if we get CL or not. I don't think it decides if we can get Europa League. But I can easily see CL hanging in the balance on those games.
Wait so in Feb, the shortest month of the year, we play 5 PL games but in March, a 31 day month, we have only 3?!
And honestly that schedule is a killer for so many teams. The big boys with their stacked squads will be fine but for everyone else the risk of injury is very high. Should've scrapped the LC for a season. The Nation's League definitely should have been put on hold.
As for our fixtures, does home even adavantage even count at present? On paper the opening few fixtures aren't too bad but this is Spurs and we can never be too complacent!

The opening lineup of games looks good. But we cannot go into those games expecting easy wins. There are no easy games on this level.
Arrogances is the downfall of many a club. But if we can start the season strong we can afford to take a loss or two in November-December.
