That run in is very kind.

 

I'm always a bit anxious when a run in is that kind. 

 

It means your fixtures are probably stacked earlier on, it's OK having the games coming up to get you out of trouble but psychologically it's not great to be in trouble in the first place and that's far more likely if your easier fixtures aren't til later in the cycle.

Decent first few fixtures, but it's hard to know whether that run-in is good or bad.

 

The March and April fixtures preceding it are horrific and the pressure could really be on going into those final 5 matches against potential relegation rivals. Luckily, we have a rich history of dealing with intense pressure in the final few weeks...

I see that the Sunday 18th May v Ipswich is due to a new ruling / policy of having the F.A. Cup Final on the penultimate Saturday with no PL games that day or on the Friday. That's presuming we're not in it!

Not quite as simple as that, timing is everything.

Often what you think is perfect timing is the opposite.

 

Far to many uncontrollables to know.

I'm with you, could be dead and buried by then.  However, if still in touch its a great run in

First 3 away days all in London will make the travel either easy or a bloody nightmare due to strikes

I'd say it's very very unlikely there would be any sort of strike action during the first few months of a labour government!

Edited the above to make it clear which LCFC matches the last 4 dates refer to, and to give a date for "Post MW37". 

 

Note the PL are calling these announcement dates provisional.

All the relegation 6 pointers to finish the season then!

It's almost like its been fixed. Man City champions so lets try to generate a bit of excitement somewhere.

On reflection, I'm quite happy with the fixtures.

 

A concern I had was us potentially starting the season 6/9 points behind and having a nightmare start fixture wise that would put massive amounts of pressure on the new manager. 

 

Only playing 2 of the top 6 in the first 3 months will potentially give the new man the chance to get a bit of momentum before the tough runs of games come.
