And whilst Villa get to play away at Chelsea and Arsenal, and Wolves away at Liverpool and Man Utd, no London team has a fixture outside of London.

That's quite incredible and unfair.

Definitely the weirdest set of Christmas fixtures I can remember.

On CL qualification, we need 9 wins in my opinion.

Halfway stage of the season and we have already played Arses twice.

It should help us that Man City and Chelsea have still got to play each other twice.

If you look to the end of the season Arsenal don't leave London after 18th April - last 5 games.

My old dad used to complain that they once won the cup not having to play a game outside of London lmao. No idea if that’s actually true.

Not their fault there's so many London clubs. You could spin it another way and say they have lots of derby games - isn't that a strong boast we give over our last title-winning season, the fact we had to play so many of our scrawny midland neighbours, desperate to get one over on us? Whereas this season, all we have is the Wulfs down the road whose claws were trimmed and mani'd in early autumn.

We need SHA, Albion, Walsall, and Coventry to be promoted to the Premier League to ease our travel issues at the end of a season.

Football Rankings reckon England has a 99% chance of being allocated a fifth CL spot.

There was no logic to an intense dislike and belief they are the jammiest team the world over.

They cheated their way into this division in the first place.
