I can't work out whether the 3 Monday night fixtures in a row afford us an extra days' rest or not, seeing as we could've been playing Sunday/Saturday one week... Saturday/Sunday the following etc.
As it is, we play exactly 7 days later (and therefore have 6 days rest in between) for 3 consecutive weeks, and might actually benefit from the regularity of those 6 days rest between each game at such a crucial time of the season...
The fact that 2 games are away is a pain, but let's be fair, only one is outside of London, and we can't expect preferential treatment when it comes to requesting all our games be played at home from now 'til the end of the season... we were always gonna have to play those 19 away games at some point!
...what i'm getting at, is are Sky actually doing us a favour by spreading the games out so evenly 'for us'... or are they trying to derail our momentum by shifting our regular routine out by a day each week at such a crucial time of the season?!
answers on a postcard please!

I hate Monday night games with a passion, shouldn't be allowed!

Surely the police wont have that
Last yr the club spoke up big that should be able play Monday nights to give us better spacing between games.
So now we get it so we should be glad for the players - performance and welfare.

I'd take games at anytime or day of the week. I have a lot of confidence in our squad.
FUCK THE FIXTURE LIST....one game at a time. COYS!!!

Wouldn't have thought so, but they'd have asked them before rescheduling it, so can only assume they OK'd it
Turn off phone, avoid social media, and sports sites. Have people over after work for a recording. People who found out the score aren't allowed lol
Not being able to surf the internet at work makes the day even longer. Basically it's shit.
Chavs away - even midweek - is not in any way tasty. It's far too gentrified there, now. Still, it has the potential to be one of the greatest away games of the decade. Loyalty points will be unreal.
Overall, I'm not too unhappy with the reschedules. If it makes certain matches more unappealing to some of the nouveau away fans, that may not be a bad thing. Stoke is a shocker, though.

5 out of 7 matches in Oct and Nov moved for TV:
Manchester City (H) – now Sunday, October 2, KO 2.15pm – Sky Sports
Bournemouth (A) – Saturday, October 22, KO now 12.30pm – Sky Sports
Woolwich (A) – now Sunday, November 6, KO 12.00pm – BT Sport
West Ham United (H) – Saturday, November 19, KO now 5.30pm – BT Sport
Chelsea (A) – Saturday, November 26, KO now 5.30pm – BT Sport
West Ham at home and Chelsea away both at 5.30 on a Saturday... hmmm. Anyway, that means WBA away and Leicester at home at least stay as Saturday 3:00

chelsea westham 5,30 ko mayhem it gonna be
Spam and Chelscum could be interesting.
West Brom staying Saturday at 3pm is good news.

It'll kill off any flicker of an atmosphere from the home fans at least
That Woolwich game will now be 8:30PM where I live, first time that Spurs have played at a time which could actually be reasonable if that was the local time of the game.
After how we were treated by Spam and the police at their old shithole midweek last year, we should afford them a particularly special welcome. Atmosphere will be top for that one.
That's a weird one... all the fixture changes for Dec were announced two weeks ago. Bet there'll be plenty of people who regarded this as fixed for Saturday and booked travel
