Or something like that... It's pretty remarkable really that they've stayed in the PL this long. Have to give them that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We're nearly halfway through the season, everyone has nearly played all the other teams at least once once. They beat Arsenal 3-1 at home They beat Chelsea 2-1 away They drew 1-1 with Man Utd away They beat Tottenham 2-1 at home They beat Man City 3-1 at home. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure we played Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal in much quicker succession then they have played those other big clubs this season though. I guess I'm just saying that whilst we all have to play the same teams, some clubs do benefit from having the traditionally tougher fixtures pretty well spread out. And it can make a difference...

Koke 7,224 Posted 7 December 2019 Report Share Posted 7 December 2019 Are Palace the most depressing club to support in the PL 3 shots today, zero on target, against the bottom club. They hire managers like Hodgson, Pardew, Allardyce, Pulis etc. I'm usually OK with smaller clubs like Bournemouth, Brighton and Watford but I honestly can't wait til Palace flush down to the Championship.

You gotta give credit to Klopp for getting a tune out of that lot I mentioned. Pep would have sold half of them after season 1. Link to post Share on other sites
Md9 719 Posted 7 December 2019 Report Share Posted 7 December 2019 If Liverpool get through the next month with out dropping more than 6 points they will run away with the league. Would love to be able to hold on to second place just need to keep doing what we are doing. The rest of the teams all have a few losses in them as we have already seen so we just need to keep picking up points and put the pressure on the teams below us to keep up with us and only worry about catching Liverpool if they somehow have a meltdown Link to post Share on other sites

All we can do is do our own thing and wait and see if there's a wobble on their side. Hopefully they'll shit it if there is. If there is no wobble, who gives a shit? I'm just enjoying the ride Link to post Share on other sites

We played them in 2, 6, 7, 8 and 12, with Man City to come in game 19 which is followed by Liverpool in game 20, so maybe you're right.

twister 617 Posted 7 December 2019 Report Share Posted 7 December 2019 I think in a way this good for Leicester a young team , with Liverpool so far clear They should bue just free balling it and enjoying their football Might help the young players play relaxed. Link to post Share on other sites

Gerard 6,707 Posted 7 December 2019 Report Share Posted 7 December 2019 I'll be cheering on Man City in the derby game. With Liverpool winning again and a Tottenham win then I'm more interested about the chasing pack than the title. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed liverpool and Everton, spurs and arsenal, Man City and yanited cannot be home same weekend plus there are weekends where you sometimes see several derbies but that aside, to claim that the fixture list has been fiddled in Liverpool’s favour is real wacky backy stuff ..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Guest An Sionnach Posted 7 December 2019 Report Share Posted 7 December 2019 We have the best defence in the premiership and one of the best strikers in the world but we are still frustrating at times in front of goal. If Perez and Barnes can up their chance conversion then we can be truly formidable. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think the fixtures are randomly decided and I think they are arranged favourably for the teams that finish in the top 2 places. Just look at Man City's fixture arrangements for instance. Perhaps it's to do with their commitments in Europe to ease the pressure on them somewhat. But it's clear they are not plucked out of a hat. Link to post Share on other sites
