fixtures 20/21

[Arteta10]

so moaning does? Do you think Carlo and the players think oh no we have to play these then or here they’re etc? No exactly deal with it

I am dealing with it. By discussing it on a forum. And I'm not the only one who thinks its a bit of a joke

Hmm so our derby has no home advantage, yet the reverse fixture will probably see a packed Anfield

Be interesting to know how many big matches they have at home next year

Play all the big teams at home before the turn of the year with likely no to little crowds. Not sure how they worked that one out.

no your not but nothing can be done about it can it. We have Carlo now mate let’s be optimistic

Allan & Doucoure up agst Hojbjerg.

Smash him to bits

No chance

Wouldnt be so sure of that- deaths are on average less than 60 a day at present. Providing they find ways of social distancing on the concourses / getting in and out the ground I think they'll be reduced capacity crowds come October/November imo.

I dont think they'll allow many if any away fans though however.

actually I prefer to get the tougher games out the way first.

....often it’s best to catch these teams early. I think I recall Spurs thrashing us at home first game one year and we went on to win the league.

it’s so hard to determine what shape teams will be in regarding form, injuries & suspensions. Swings and roundabouts.

You dont think playing the first game AND the last game away is a bit dodgy?

And having all the games against the big sides first half of season with no fans?

Do you really think the FA or the Premier League are that arsed about Everton to try and somehow fix it against us?

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

Haha I knew we'd end up playing RS, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man U and City all at home before January, defo no fans at them games

 

[Toffe3m4n]

A little tidbit I've just read..

Following the release of the fixtures, Betfair have priced us at 13/1 to finish in the top four.

Relegation? 22/1

What does having Carlo have to do with being shafted with the fixtures!? lol

Generally I am always pretty optimistic, and I'm not even saying the fact that we play big teams BHC means we will automatically lose.

But IMO we have been dealt a raw deal. 3 of the big 6 at home first and 3 away first would have been fairer or even 2 / 4. A 1 / 5 split is ridiculous

 

[Furey1878]

I see Goodison derby first and then the Anfield one in Feb so another behind closed door for us eh and probs not for them

magical

 

[MikeH72]

Compare that to Liverpool.

Their 'CAT A' games at home in 2020? Arsenal.

Away derby with no crowd, home derby with a crowd.

Boxing day. Home. Last game of the season. Home.

Just crap.

LOOOOOL.

I’m sorry but anyone who thinks this isn’t completely rigged from top to bottom needs to wake up promptly.

I've said in another post i'm not sure I'd go as far as saying its rigged.

But a 1 / 5 split of away / home games against big teams with no fans is quite heavily weighted against us isnt it?

 

[The binman chronicles]

5 of the top 7 at home in this year, giving maximum amount of time for people to be allowed back in for the reverse. It's so obvious that was going to happen.
