There's less than 72 hours playing on a Wednesday night and then on a Saturday afternoon.

Away to Spurs, Bruges AND Liverpool in 6 days.

That's one hell of an unfortunate fixture list.

Think we are away to Monaco and Arsenal within 3 days of each other too. And we had Man United after Bayern. Seems we have been extremely unlucky with the games against the Sky 6, all falling after a Champions League game. Especially away from home.

Tomorrow, away. Plus our next three weekend home games. It's a lot better this year than when we were in the Conference League.

I meant in 2025 but its true that it's good to see the back of Thursday-Sundays.

We seem to be in the sweet spot of being in the Champions League, making it awkward to move our games to Sunday/Monday, while also still not being sufficiently attractive to broadcasters that they feel the urge to piss about with nearly every game like they do with, say, Liverpool.

Bournemouth on the 26th.

Extra tickets available for this as Bournemouth have taken reduced allocation.

Might I suggest that is going to be the true test of our credentials this season - the period between basically now and the end of Jan.

Essentially it's every game between now and the end of the season.

I think this set of games between now and the international break are massive for our season. We could be top of the Premier League, top of the Champions League and in a quarter final by the time our players head off to far flung nations for utterly pointless games.

Alternatively, we could be out of the top 6 in the PL, out of the most winnable cup we are competing for and at risk of slipping out of the top 8 of the CL, with Juventus coming up next.

The games at Spurs and Liverpool especilly will go a long way to showing how far we have really come.

As I say, a pivotal few weeks.

Er... Not this Saturday (Liverpool away 9th November).  Bournemouth is 3.00 o'clock this Saturday. ( Had me panicking at first sight of the above!)
