What a rank run of fixtures, the 4th place trophy may not be coming home next season.
Why do we always get the toughest ties
I know man, I can't believe we end up playing Chelsea and Man City EVERY year.
I think everyone realises that every team plays the same teams so in that sense the fixtures don't matter. But it's not unreasonable to say that we'd have preferred either that the tough run of fixtures occurred earlier in the season, or that they were more "spread out" so that the burden on the players in any month(s) is not too great. Last season we had a set of tough fixtures in around January and February time, with Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool, but at least near the end of the season we had an easier run in.
Sperz are the only top side we play before November, so hopefully we're able to rack up some points and at least habour some hopes of a title challenge.
Seems fine to me. Nice start, nice finish. It's what most teams would want.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
After that it's fine though. Last 5 games is when the 4th place trophy is coming home.Originally Posted by Gooner23
When was the last time we played a home game as the last game of season? It wasn't stoke was it back I. 09?
It was Fulham in 09-10.
Wasn't that a 2-2 at craven cottage?
Besides. 4 years then without a home game as final game. That needs to change
