Personally I would keep it but you can hear the moans from Klopp et al that will happen when they have to play all the matches. Think they’ve probably got around this by having so much of it early in the season - it’s done by the end of September with the exception of QFs (three days before Christmas), one leg SFs and the final. Looks like they’ve also scheduled in ‘reserve spots’ in the midweeks directly after the fa cup weekend rounds to minimise fixture pile up at the end of the season, although not sure how that may clash with European comps.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) 'fixture leak' once again, supposedly we are away to Spuds for the opener....if you believe it? Difficult to believe the season starts in under a month from now, September 12th! Edited August 16, 2020 by Zhan_Zhuang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Read something about a leaked fixture list and our first match of the season was spurs away. Is it true? Didn't we also have spurs away last season (as the opening fixture I mean)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask him if he wasn’t mixing up last season and he said he’d thought the same, but apparently that’s not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Apparently first week fixtures have been leaked and we have Spurs away first game of season.

Villaphan04 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Just my thought, but I would really like if we got Liverpool or City away to start off the season. Would be fantastic to get one (or both) of those matches out of the way early on in the season Edited August 18, 2020 by Villaphan04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
