Knowing me knowing you...AHAH
Whoever gets knocked out in the group stages of the World Cup will have a nice little rest before the season kicks on again on Boxing Day. I want our players to do well there but part of me wouldn’t mind if their respective countries exited early….
I actually see it as an advantage... who knows what kind of disruption the WC will have on teams once they return. I'd much rather play these tough away games with a full strength squad rather than a possibly weakened one, or potential injuries, whereas our rivals will need to come to us in those possible conditions post WCThe pre-world cup fixtures will be absolutely massive for us with a majority of away games but also away against all our rivals apart from Pool.
Scary and exciting at the same time lol.
The only one of our perceived best XI who plays for a country that won't be in Qatar at all is Kulusevski. We can probably assume Sonny will go home after the group stage but the others all play for countries who might do something.Whoever gets knocked out in the group stages of the World Cup will have a nice little rest before the season kicks on again on Boxing Day.

Hopefully 5:30 rather than 12:30! FNF would be fun though, although never gonna happen.First NLD is the same weekend as the first of the 2 NFL games at our stadium. So I’d imagine it will be played on the Saturday (can’t imagine the police want TH Stadium and Emirates both hosting big events on the same day).
Thanks. Will look at nearest home game to it I think.Newcastle A I'm afraid
They better not bloody postpone it again. I've just got tickets and flights for it ?Not sure Arsenal would want to play us in January.
I think best time possible. They’ve lost 2 of their starting back 3(Christensen and Ruidiger) plus 2 of their most experienced defenders ( Alonso and Dave). Regardless who they buy to replace them they will have a new, not quite bedded in defense against one of the best and settled front 3.Chelsea away second game in is a very good time to play them.
