2023/24 Fixtures

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

All our fixtures in August are in reverse alphabetical order. Newcastle,,,Everton...Burnley.
 Coincidence ? Maybe.

However the same happens in September. Liverpool...Crystal Palace...Chelsea...Brighton.
What are the chances ? Now I'm getting suspicious....Maybe the Premier League are sending us subliminal messages......Go into reverse ! Backwards ! Down !
 
Think I'm crazy and paranoid ? Guess what ...check out October.

What on earth is the point of a two week break in January if it means that you have to flog players until they drop in December?

Sky 6's last day fixtures

Arsenal v Everton, Brighton v Man United, Chelsea v Bournemouth, Liverpool v Wolves, Man City v West Ham and Sheffield United v Spurs

So that'll make it 15 seasons, when they haven't met each other on the last day.

Including the next season, below shows the number of times other clubs will have played the Sky 6 on the last day over the 15 seasons.  Everton are the only club who will have played in every one of the seasons.

Everton 8 times, Newcastle 6, Villa 5, Brighton, Palace, West Ham and Burnley 3. 

Now if that's not damming evidence that the Sky 6 have an arrangement, with the Premier League, not sure, what is.

Be a cracking away day up there in August. Bring every last fucker on, couldn't careless who we play or when, this is a new Villa.

That is a totally out of character post for you. Normally you are the epitome  of pessimism.😊

If you can't be excited by this side and this manager then you're a tough crowd to please.

Flip the fixtures on their head and there's no way you'd look forward to playing us- as it should be. With that home form too, hopefully grand old Villa Park being a glorious but comfortable place to come and play a game has gone too.

Absolutely right about this team of ours. We have been scoring a la mancity. Never known a period even in 80/81 when we kicked off and within 10 mins or so we score and we do so by just moving the ball in quick concise way. I would love what we have witnessed to continue this coming season.

That's the inner Brummie whispering "but what if it was all just a blip of exceptional form?". But then that gets shouted down by who our manager is. He's so meticulous, luck doesn't come into it. This has to be one of the most exciting times in my Villa supporting career. Its all on a plate for us, no better manager, owners, good players, money to spend. If not now, it's never.

For probably the first time ever I agree with you Ads Cheers buddy - all the best VCTM

I bet Newcastle doesnt like to play us after the 3-0 t VP recently, we where in total control all game through. If we get a draw there, win the next two and get a draw at Anfield as we did recently it will be a fantastic start.

Looks to me like the Sky fuckers are worried about us joining their precious clan and have hand selected fixtures to keep us at bay.  Won’t work, we’ve got Unai! Muhahaha!!!

What do you mean? We play everyone. I think we asked for our first game to be away.

Isn't it because of the pitch after all the summer entertainment on it?

Straight after the Motorcross thing (which ticket sales are alleged to be piss poor) the boards for the concerts come up and new pitch is laid - old one already dug up and gone.

Surely from Sky point of view and also for PL publicity they would prefer last day to mega fest of so called 6 playing each other for title and ECL position deciders?
Anyway your argument further falls apart when you look at Liverpool playing #Levels Wolves, who are by now surely top 6.

ALITA that is very sinister and shows dark forces at work to undermine our progress but fuck em we will thump em on reverse order as well.

They also need time to install the safe standing area/rails in the Upper Holte and work on that Terrace Bar

Nah, last day of the season is always going to be interesting regardless of who plays.  They need BIG MATCHES in the depths of November to keep the TV money rolling in.  In that respect, it makes more sense to keep Liverpool vs Chelsea or whatever back for a rainy day, no point in wasting your BIG MATCHES on the first/last day of the season which are going to have big viewing figures since they're already BIG MATCHES on account of when they're being played.

So you're saying my brother won't be on the pitch at the Springsteen gig tomorrow? He will be disappointed

[kippaxvilla2]

Whenever we talk about a new pitch I always think of and shudder at the word Souters.

All things considered, including the other games that are scheduled for that weekend, there looks to be every chance that our first home game, v Everton, will remain a Saturday 3pm kick off.
