Title: Fixture list announced
Post by: Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air on June 07, 2019, 07:07:44 AM
With the 2018/19 Premier League campaign now completed, fans should make a note in their diaries for 09:00 BST on Thursday 13 June.
That is when the fixtures for the 2019/20 season will be released.
The dates for all 380 Premier League matches will be published on premierleague.com from 09:00 BST, allowing supporters to start making plans.
The 2019/20 season will begin on 10 August 2019, with three new teams in the competition, and conclude on 17 May 2020.

I’m going to guess at a completely underwhelming first game. Palace away I think.

Due to the TV influence the fixtures are always "gerrymandered" towards the favoured teams so there will be no "big clashes" on the first or last day so we are up as fodder for one of the better teams, I've noticed this many times, promoted sides often get tough away starts.

Chelsea A

Not quite correct, how many of those 380 games get subsequently moved?

A home Boxing Day game against someone decent would be nice too.

And I imagine they'll fix it so we're playing Man City on the last day, all so that Sky can bill it as the title-decider!!!!

The TV deal in place specifies that Sunday's broadcast games kickoff at 1400 and 1630 next season. They might make exceptions for local derbies but not Villa v Leicester.

Sky Sports (128 live games)

I'd like to play Utd at home. They're fair game right now, but given our largely fuck awful record against them for decades, I'd love nothing more than to do an opening day repeat of 95. And no they won't go onto win the title, and we probably won't finish 4th, but I feel like pillocking Utd would bring a great deal of satisfaction. The earlier the better.

If it is indeed Leicester though. I think that's a decent first home game too. They're going to be a direct rival I think (hope) in the middle section of the Prem.

Actually we usually tend to get Liverpool at home early on don't we if you look back to previous years.

Would be a good time to play them as just seen Mane and Salah are playing in African cup of nations and Firmino is in Copa so all three will be playing well into July so would imagine they'll get extended holiday and won't feature first few weeks.

Can I be the first person to ask for two tickets from anyone for the game v Bournemouth. I will be in Birmingham that weekend, over from NZ. If anyone can help there will be a drink or five in it as well :)

Just one midweek home game atm, Watford at home in January.

Bit disappointed with that as that's one aspect of the championship I really liked, all the quickfire Saturday-Tuesday games.

Look on the bright side Fred, if it's as difficult as you think the worst that can happen will be we'll end up back there, and you can enjoy it again. 

First five home games are Bournemouth, Everton, West Ham, Burnley and Brighton.  I reckon we need to pick up a fair few points from those and we'll be ok.

I think this is the issue with the top flight. There are 12 matches which are free hits and anything we get is a bonus. Whereas in the Championship every match was winnable.

Different mindset.

We need to scoop up points early in the winnable matches or we'll struggle.

Think it's a great start. A big game to start with is what I wanted, come back right in to it, possibly at the best club stadium in the country too.

First three home games are a decent opportunity to get some points on the board.

Only disappointment is that I only manage to do 1 or 2 aways a season, so I've got no chance of seeing the new Spurs or West Ham stadium as they're first and last. Was hoping one of those would be early December when tickets are a bit easier to come by.

Yes they are introducing a 2 week winter break for the clubs, half will be from 1st to 15th Feb and other will be from 8th to 22nd Feb, which is why the 5th round of the cup, will be moved to March, with no replays.

Although I did enjoy the championship for a multitude of reasons it does make good reading to see our games now in the Premiership - it highlights how we used to take for granted being in there.

Also on Talkshite (although could be renamed Man U FM lately) they were advertising the fact that they have license to live games coming up in the new season and accompanied it with excerpts of matches when goals were scored
"Aguero"
"Rashford"
"Salah"
Grealish"

I had a warm glowing smile on my face ;)

I bet we are pissing the likes of Norwich and Sheffield United off already as they are not even mentioned in anything

A decent enough set of opening fixtures. We do need a good start. Glad it's the spuds up 1st. It's the only way they're going to see Jack up close especially after their stingy offer for his signature last season.

Does anyone know when they pick the televised games from second round of games? Would like to get over for the Bournemouth game but don't want to risk booking flights on the (very) off-chance it gets moved to a sunday.

The dates are on the PL site:

4 very winnable games sandwiched between Spurs and Arse away..... if we're in double figures  by the Burnley game on 28/09/19 we'll be laughing...….

I’ve been in denial until today as theoretically I liked the idea of going up. But when you are confronted with the harsh reality of the fixtures, god, it’s going to be a miserable grind to pick up enough points to survive. I have to confess I rather enjoyed the second division.
That's the spirit!

Sorry for being a Billy no Spine. I guess I should have more faith in Deano who I desperately want to succeed. I think he’s been a bloody marvellous manager and I am loving the rest of the world taking us seriously as a club again. I think it’s just that I’m scarred by that horrible season when we went down and would hate it if it’s like that again. I would just say that I think we need to be patient and realistic in our expectations. We were a distant third after all.

Bloody hell. Cheer up you miserable so and so

How can you compare now to our relegation season? Totally different

I think this is the issue with the top flight. There are 12 matches which are free hits and anything we get is a bonus. Whereas in the Championship every match was winnable.

Different mindset.

We need to scoop up points early in the winnable matches or we'll struggle.



Got more chance of picking up a draw at Arsenal or Chelsea than Brentford away!

Take city and liverpool out the mix and we should fear no one. Spurs lost a third of their games, Chelsea were hammered 4-0 by fucking Bournemouth and the rest of the sky faves were shit as well. If they click then we might get hammered on a given day but all those teams are undergoing surgery at the moment so nothing is a given..

Efl fixtures are out. I think I’ll keep a closer eye on results and performances than I did before we dropped out of prem.
A lot of fixtures look really tasty and tough.... infact knowing what we know from first half of last season if we make the right signings, I’m in a better place of securing points against some opposition in the prem than when we were in championship.
Bizarre I know but that’s my gut feeling

It sounds like West Midlands Police have agreed to the German market, Gay Pride and the Small Heath v Smethwick game to all go ahead on the same day.

I see we go to Spurs for our first game and Small Heath go to Brentford. That's the Championship for you.

I bet there will be more people at either the Markets or Gay pride than at the temple of doom in the Villa hating derby

I doubt they have ever sold out either games to be honest

Indeed. Not to be confused with the PDSA, Peoples dispensary for sick animals. And definately not to be confused with the PDASA, public displays of affection for sick animals, which in extreme cases can end up in a custodial sentence for beastiality.

Approximately 5th July for the September/October fixtures then roughly two-three months in advance for the rest of the season or one month in advance for the May games.

https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/premier-league-announce-tv-fixtures-16423140.amp

Man United away is bound to be moved as they have a Europa League game the Thursday before. Wolves away will be moved, too, if they make the Group Stage.
