whats the crack here like, obviously international breaks mean we miss one weekend of league football, but how comes there a doubler in march/april ?

the european competitions have their Quarter finals 7-8th April, am i missing something?

Been a couple years I think. Newcastle away is scheduled for 21 March currently, Carabao Cup final is 22 March so if they fluke their way to the final again we could theoretically have 3 consecutive weekends without a game

mags away would then be midweek, class.

i'm looking forward to the 18th november, get these three international breaks out of the way then we have 4 solid months of football every weekend (FA cup progression pending)

Only recently mate

Probably due to lack of slots available for rearranged games

Next September there is a two week international break - 21 Sept to 6 Oct

Nations league will play four fixtures
 
By the time we travel to Fulham at Craven Cottage on November 22nd we will only have played 11 matches in 14 weeks.

Then from then we will cram in 10 games in the space of just over 6 weeks until January 7th.

Bit daft really, there's just no momentum to the season until you're a third of the way in.

Don’t know about this but the Echo are reporting FIFA merging September and October breaks next season into a 16 day break from Monday 21 September to Tuesday 6 October. So no top league domestic football on two consecutive weekends. Countries will play 4 fixtures over the break.

Three or four weeks after the start of the season? Jesus! A lot of people at FIFA need to be shot out of a cannon and into the sun.
