[Football] Brighton & Hove Albion 2020/21 fixtures

[Nameless]

Quite happy to get Chelsea home first.. 1. Nobody expects us to win and we get one of the big guns out the way early 2. They will have arguably the best front 3 in the league in Pulisic, Werner & Ziyech possibly with Havertz behind them.. They would have never played a proper game together before and if we can get them while the puzzle still doesn't fit we could get a shock 3 points that left hand side is week and lamptey will have a point to prove. I'd bite your hand off for a draw but that's winnable. Admitting that they're massive favourites..

Hopefully Ali J will still be here to score against Chelsea!��

Sheff Utd - home first game, or so the cat told me.

Have a word with your cat.

Scum away with reduced / no crowd - scum at home, most likely a crowd or hopefully full crowd - that’s all I needed to know - happy!

Also Chelsea and Man U at home early is great - no crowd possibly - so don’t have to sit through potential beatings. Great to get them out the way - obviously don’t care about watching the opposition only the Albion.

They'll be fine, Bamford will recreate this!

I hear what you are saying sheebo but the reason I wanted to be promoted to the PL was to see sides like Chelsea and United at the Amex.

From a quick scan, the quality of opponents seems much better spread out than in previous seasons. Should be able to pick up points more consistently rather than needing to do it in bursts.

Seen them enough personally - would rather see the Albion win as we all would, and there’s more chance of that Against lower teams I’d say.

Sky Sports News doing their best to keep the excitement going on the fixtures release when no one is really that interested given we can't attend (yet).
Sky Sports seem like the individual at a party that tries to get the dancing going when everyone has just arrived and getting no takers but carries on dancing on their own.

In terms of our fixtures, it is reduced to - Is this a live TV game or 30 seconds last on MOTD.

Good time to play Chelsea. Pulisic and Azpilicueta both picked up nasty hamstring injuries and may struggle to be match fit.

No way we'll sell Dunk before then.

I must say its weird on fixtures day to read about opponents injuries when my brain is saying yeah but the match is still two months away

The Sky Sports News love-in with Leeds this morning is beyond ridiculous. Baffling how they are getting this much coverage...

Hope they get their defence sorted by then

It's a dream opening fixture for them, seeing how one of the world's biggest clubs gets on in their return to Premier League action. Always a chance of Liverpool causing an upset too.

VVD won’t be looking forward to the tough duel with Bamford.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Reminds me of Norwich last year.

Really kinda hope they get turned over.

They've been out pokered by TB pre-season and will be out pokered on season's start by PL quality.

Pretty much, yes.

Certain clubs were interested in streaming their non-Live TV games on their own websites but that was rejected by the League/broadcasters. Instead, for this season only there will be 20 more games televised than the contract permitted originally; making 220 of the 380 Live.

For us, if we're not Live on TV then it's Match of the Day highlights plus Sky's Match Choice 30 minute highlights of every fixture that isn't televised Live.

Think it needs tweaking - Newcastle too high, should be in 16th spot, with us and Burnley moving up a notch each.
Average odds Ifor Relegation I've been seeing ;

9/4 Newcastle
3/1 Burnley
7/2 Brighton

Looks like I’ll be cheering on Liverpool first game of the season then.
