petr.breu 1,618 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 No real Christmas travel for Chelsea. Four consecutive London games: 14 Dec Palace (h); 21 Arsenal (a); 26 Swansea (h); 28 Liverpool (h). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,959 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 The first thing that came to my mind -Double, double, double... Anyway, we yet again have a trip to Anfield at the end of the season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 first 3 months only 9 games ....season doesn't start till November.. still plenty of friendly internationalsFortunately we have 4 relatively easy games in November. We should be able to get 12 crucial points there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Anyway, we yet again have a trip to Anfield at the end of the season...Just like we did when we won the double. DrogBA and Lampard goals in a 2-0 win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kezza 1,965 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hopefully our poor November jinx ends this year with that relatively easy fixture list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,959 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 As for the Champions League matches, it is not that bad.Fulham (h), Norwich (a), Man City (h), WBA (h), Southampton (h) and Crystal Palace (h) right after the group stage games.Everton (h) or Fulham (a) right after the first leg of the last 16.Aston Villa (a) or Arsenal (h) right after the second leg of the last 16.And even the games before the UCL games are not such killers.

Jase 43,479 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 First 6 PL games: Hull(H), Man Utd(A), Villa(H), Everton(A), Fulham(H) & Spurs(A). Decent games at home but tough ones away. Probably best to get them out of the way early anyway.We'll face Arsenal(A) and Liverpool(H) during the Christmas period. And we have Swansea at the Bridge on Boxing day. Decent.Last 6 PL games: Stoke(H), Swansea(A), Sunderland(H), Liverpool(A), Norwich(H) & Cardiff(A). Better run-in than last season.Our 3rd game against Aston Villa could be postponed or brought forward(like last season) due to our involvement in the UEFA Super Cup.We play Man United away in August and at the Bridge in January. Early clashes against them for a change.And why do we always play Liverpool away at the back end of the season FFS?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramox 246 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 United in the second game is perfect, imo. They are bound to start the season slowly after changing SAF. Agree, but what if José's 2 matches ban will be true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Agree, but what if José's 2 matches ban will be true?The ban was given by the Spanish FA not EUFA and therefor has nothing to do with English football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonDavis23 371 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Agree, but what if José's 2 matches ban will be true?that was probably the FA's plan all along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 A few quick notes.Hull at home on opening day is perfect. Hopefully it will be on the Saturday still (lunchtime is the best we can hope for I reckon) and that's a nice game to ease us in.United away next is probably the best time to get them. Same goes for Everton away after that.Boxing Day at home to Swansea is another ideal fixture. Liverpool two days later could go either way.BUTThat run-in is about as good as anyone could hope.Palace AWAYStoke HOMESwansea AWAYSunderland HOMELiverpool AWAYNorwich HOMECardiff AWAYAll in all, not a bad set. Personally I'm happy we're home on the opening day and boxing day and that run-in is about as downhill as you get in the EPL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonDavis23 371 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Win the trophy at Anfield?? Torres scores the winner infront of the Kop?1st part yes. 2nd part no, lol he hasn't even once looked like scoring against them and besides, he will be replaced by a striker who has been linked with us a lot lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I wouldn't put too much stock in fixture lists.We have to play everyone home and away, just like all the other teams in the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankit 3,176 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 The ban was given by the Spanish FA not EUFA and therefor has nothing to do with English football. You sure about that? I think he will be suspended for our first 2 matches which could be Hull and Villa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
