Burnley (A) next Saturday - POSTPONED

[Sunbury Fox]

Can we use the international break at the end of the month? Isn't it only for South American qualifying? We have no players involved in that and nor do Burnley or Norwich. So could we rearrange games against one of them then.

This is getting a bit ridiculous. Good timing for us mind.

Go on then, Burnley have just sold Wood. Burnley have just postponed the game, over to you Mr Durham

 

 

 

 

 

He is such a twat. Wood had a release clause in his contract which meant they could not stand in his way.

We absolutely should do, but logic isn't the Premier League's strong point when it comes to fixture arrangements...

[Jobyfox]

At least it will give us time to sign Mbappe before the next fixture.

In my opinion, it would be wise for the club to decide where their priorites will lie and make it clear to the fans so it's obvious what they're trying to do. If they try and balance the league and a good run in europe then we'll fail in both, I'm confident of that.

 

If we need to play the kids in some European games then fine. If we need to play some kids in some sunday games then fine. Don't absolutely destroy an already injury ridden squad by overplaying them and having us bow out of Europe and finish 14-10th.

 

 

 

This, id personally **** the FA Cup off this year and concentrate on the Conference league as its our best and easiest route back to Europe. I know thatll be a touchy subject for a few who think we should be starting our best team every game no matter how frequently they have to play.

This season just feels increasingly like a write off. I'd throw everything at the FA Cup and Europe now - Premier League campaign is absolutely pointless.

 

I genuinely have no idea where the hell we're going to play these games. We're gonna end up having some ridiculous situation down the line now.

 

Two league games played in 38 days and they were two days apart. What a totally un-serious season. I think it's as much an asterisked season as the last two sadly.

He’s doing pretty well for them isn’t he?

[Guest Mickyblueeyes]

At some point this season we will be playing 3 times a week for a long period. The short sightedness of Durham and co pretending that these postponements offer any sort of advantage is ridiculous. 

[ScotFox1]

What a farce this season has become.  At this point let's just win this European cup thing.. don't get relegated.. protect our players as much as we can and start again next season... Which will probably be in November 🙄

Yeah they love him there. Been back for about a month after a nasty injury. Easily their best player each time I’ve seen him, although that is a sample size of 3 haha!

[StriderHiryu]

Will we ever play a game again?

This is our schedule as it stands for the rest of the season.

 

We have to fit in the following games, Everton (A), Norwich (H), Burnley (A) and Chelsea (A) We'll potentially have to postpone Brentford (H), Newcastle (A) and Watford (A) if we go far in the Cup.

They may have to extend the season by a few weeks. We aren’t alone in this. 

[Aus Fox]

Am I correct in thinking we’ve now had 5 games called off, and despite all of our injuries, the only one we’ve requested is the Everton game, which was rescheduled by the PL to a weird time.

The only thing that's going to salvage this season now is the prospect of winning something. If anything, the league is the thing we should least be giving a shit about.

 

Plus, there'd rightly be a meltdown if we put out any hint of a weakened side against Forest.

Waiting for the weekend to watch Leicester City

Its not though is it, your Premier league finish determines how much money you receive and therefore the quality of signings you can make in the summer. Far more important then the FA cup really

Probably been answered by now but it prompted me to check something so worth sharing. Might be a good app for some people (FotMob)

 

Answer - it looks like it would take some pretty drastic developments at their end if we can manage to make the 13.

Well I certainly twatbombed that one. Sorry people.

But I want explanations! (Will probably get them when I've read this thread)

 

Burnley! They can **** off!

Yes that's correct. Crazy timeline of events.

[tickler28]

Surely we get dispensation to play 2 matches at least during the Winter break....Championship not having a break and us and Burnley have already had our break!!!!
