Also, we definitely moved down a place in June 1981.

I heard earlier today that the FA have asked Premier League to ensure there  are no fixtures  on the weekend of 12/13 November, last games before the break for WC, between top 6 teams. This is to protect England squad but I am not sure how that works?

In any case now we have official recognition that there is a top 6 group...WTF.

I've heard that but nothing official, if it is the case, and not wishing serious injury on an player I hope a crucial England player gets a serious injury that weekend to prove what a batshit crazy that idea is.

It's not official so it's almost certainly bollocks. Affecting so many clubs would have a knock-on for the rest of the season.

I stand to be corrected but you rarely see one of those games on the opening or closing day of the season and I've often wondered if this was gerrymandering.

Chelsea always seem to get a newly promoted team at home first game of the season. Like they always seem to get easy draws in the FA Cup that allows them to go far in the competition each year.

Opening fixtures:

2021-22 Spurs v Manchester City
2019-20 Manchester United v Chelsea
2018-19 Arsenal v Manchester City
2016-17 Arsenal v Liverpool
2015-16 Manchester United v Spurs

It is gerrymandering regarding the end of season fixtures, you will never now see the above fixtures played then, the last time any of the 'Sky 6' met on the final day was in season 08-09.

Liverpool away. They didn't get to show it last season as we appointed Gerrard after the televised fixtures had been announced.

It was live on sky but a 3pm Saturday k/o which was odd.
