[Jim in the West]

Come on Fulham

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Luton
Fulham
Man City
Everton
Draw (or Spurs)

Please.

 

[GT49er]

We'll need to be at our very best to avoid slipping down to 10th. this weekend.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Eh, I thought this was a 'winter break' - how come there are fixtures?

Hoping for Fulham, City, Spurs away wins then.

 

[Motogull]

Luton
Fulham

Please.

Agreed but ManUre v Spurs, what a horrible fixture. Hopefully lots of cards and niggling injuries.

It's staggered.

Half the sides have this weekend off, and the teams playing this weekend have next weekend off.

7th to 10th...

It's staggered.

Half the sides have this weekend off, and the teams playing this weekend have next weekend off.

It all worked out really nicely for us then, no FA Cup replay, no League Cup semi, and we get the 1st weekend off. A good 2 week gap to rest and recuperate.

The idea is that half the teams play this weekend and then get a weekend off to fly to Saudi land and play each other again.

Even better, it's a 16 day gap or, if I want to return to type and engage in pedantry, it's a 16 day + 4.75 hour gap.

If you were a real pedant you'd work out the gap from when the Stoke game finished.

Not from when it started!

You and I might be able to have a pedantic argument about that and, in order for me to accept your levels of pedantry, I'd need to see evidence that whenever you talk about the next fixture you indicate that, for example, it doesn't take place 'in a week's time' but, rather, 'in 166 hours time' (or some equivalent).

I don't see how having a winter break like this is a fair split

Should be all at the same time

Also seems unfair that some clubs have African/Asian players leaving at different points, should be all unavailable at the same time.

Nah United have Onana

The rules on players reporting for international duty are the responsibility of FIFA, and the wonts of the nations involved. The PL has no control over this at all.- and you are looking at it from entirely the wrong perspective - each nation will have told their players when to report (within the framework stipulated by FIFA). Whether that deadline meant they were able to get one more / one less match in for their club, is purely down to chance.

Anyone going to be tuning in to watch Burnley v Luton Town on Friday?
