Topic: 2021/2022 Fixtures

[Oskar]

Should have guessed it would be Norwich, third season in a row we're starting against the Championship winners.

[Chris~]

I know the Christmas/new year period fixtures always change due to TV, but back to back away games shouldn't be allowed during that period

[HeartAndSoul]

Usually we have a hellish 5/6 games next to each other. Only had a little scan through that and can’t really see anything like that this time round. Run in looks much tougher than the one we previously had.

[swoopy]

The spread looks nice actually.

[elmothered1]

When do TV games get announced?

[killer-heels]

Tough Christmas/New Year fixtures with Spurs, Leeds, Leicester and Chelsea. Rest is fine.

[DelTrotter]

looks pretty easy all the way through, good stuff.

[Morgana]

Knew it would be Norwich opening. Game at home to close out the season. Good stuff

[tubby]

Chelsea potentially have a pretty tough start:

Palace (H)
Arsenal (A)
Liverpool (A)
Villa (H)
Spurs (A)
City (H)

[Ray K]

January
15 – Brentford (H)
22 – Crystal Palace (A)

February
9 – Leicester City (H)
12 – Burnley (A)


Not sure exactly the dates of the AFCON, but I'd take these games if we're missing Mo/Sadio.

[Mighty_Red]

January is kind to us, I assume Mo & Sadio will be available for the Chelsea game on Jan 1st.

Fixtures on 26th and 28th December is a disgrace regardless of how actually has to play on those days.

[MD1990]

Salah & Mane wont miss that many PL games going away to the ANC.

We will need a good squad for the end of year/new year fixture list.
Hopefully not many injuries around that period

[MD1990]

January
15 – Brentford (H)
22 – Crystal Palace (A)

February
9 – Leicester City (H)
12 – Burnley (A)


Not sure exactly the dates of the AFCON, but I'd take these games if we're missing Mo/Sadio.

Leicester wont have Ndidi & Ineanacho as well

[Phineus]

Yeah only real tough run is the xmas/new year period... that said, a lot of games might end up getting moved so we'll see.

At home last game of season which is always nice too.

[gazzalfc]

Very nice spread of games.

Man city also have Spurs, Arsenal, Leicester, Chelsea and Liverpool in their first 7 games.

[redgriffin73]

December and April look the worst months.

Is there that weird break again in Feb where they split the fixtures over 2 weeks?

Nice to finish at home as well.

[killer-heels]

I think we may have the tougher run in compared to City and Chelsea.

[Ocean Red]

Not too bad really except the Christmas and New year period. And April. The games Mane and Salah could miss in Jan and Feb due to the AFCON are okay on paper. without any forward signings at the moment, but surely will be sorted this summer, a front three of Jota, Bobby and Elliott.

[Brain Potter]

I know we have to play everybody twice etc,,but I’m quite happy with the spread of fixtures.
I am praying that this is a normal season and I can start looking forward to going the match again

[redgriffin73]

So there's an international break scheduled as well while the AFCON is on? That at least eases the loss of Mo and Mane a bit, plus we always struggle most around that time of year.

When's that? Is it not just FA Cup weekends?

[gjr1]

Bit of a mixed bag I’ve just seen the fixtures until 31st October.

Some very winnable games but also a few toughies

[Gerry Attrick]

The last few months are very manageable.

[El Lobo]

It's a nice start if we learn how to make easy games easy again!

[gerrardisgod]

Can’t remember the last time we never had Arsenal in our first few.

[slaphead]

Splendid set of fixtures

United at home on my 40th birthday weekend, although that's possibly an FA Cup weekend too

I always thought you were about 60 mate, no offence like 
Decent fixtures, you want to avoid a 4 or 5 game period of playing the top teams and looks like we have. Haven't looked at the rest of the teams though see if anyone else has that.

[Perham]

First time in 4 years that we've started away from home since that 3-3 at Vicarage road. A fairly spread out set of fixtures in terms of the tricky games but I thought that last season- I mean it turns out it doesn't matter when you play teams if you're playing shite! AFCON goes from the 9th of Jan to the 6th of Feb and looking at the fixtures, they could have been tougher for that period. Only 2 games in that period against Brentford and Palace plus presumably a couple of FA cup games as well. If one of our players go deep in the tournament then the Leicester game on the 9th could be affected as well though which would be a blow. Already looking at that City game in April as a potentially huge game as well.

[Perham]

Got to say I really couldn't get up for last season as a whole but I'm already buzzing for this one! Come on you reds it's time to get back to winning things again!

[Fitzy.]

It's a nice start if we learn how to make easy games easy again!

Yeah, all of a sudden any team in the bottom 8 fill me with dread!

[calvin]

Is there a January break like the year before last?

[stevieG786]

we usually face United home before away, glad it's away first this time

[stevieG786]

Chelsea potentially have a pretty tough start:

Palace (H)
Arsenal (A)
Liverpool (A)
Villa (H)
Spurs (A)
City (H)

potentially? that's fukin hideous 

[Lofty Ambitions]

Last time we started vs Norwich we won the league 

[Mr Mingebag Squid]

I know Covid fucked everything up - but I thought the AFCON was switched to the summer?

[Barneylfc∗]

I always thought you were about 60 mate, no offence like 

 

Cheeky fucker

[Medellin]

Interesting Xmas & New Year that 

[Samie]

Just beat evrey team twice and you win the tile. Simples! 

[Studgotelli]

Away from home against a newly promoted team with fans will be a tough game IMO but happy enough with the fixtures. Dec/Jan period without Mo and Sadio will be a concern atm.

[slaphead]

Cheeky fucker

hahaha wisdom beyond your years mate wisdom beyond your years

[kezzy]

Let’s just hope there’s no more variants on the way and we can get back to going the match again. 

[El Lobo]
