oh yeah, hadn't noticed it alll gets messed up over December / January

We have a weird 8-game run of home and away matches in pairs:
Man U (a)
Spurs (a) [boxing day - as you say, at that point we've played 10 away games and only 8 at home]
Villa (h)
Soton (h)
Stoke (a)
Bournemouth (a)
Liverpool (h)
Spurs (h)

And then it all settles down again until we have 2 homes in a row in April (Sunderland and Watford - given the final 3 games we have this year, suspect we will very keenly want 4 or 6 points from those...)

Anyway. Why have we got two away (league) games in a row? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 24, 15:23:18
- because it would be impossible to complete all fixtures if teams didnt do that (NCFC) - fond, Sep 24, 16:52:58
- because southampton have got 2 home games. (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Sep 24, 16:14:29
  - mr carra nailed it below vvvvv (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 24, 16:23:28

  - well, that is the end result (it's near the end of the season, in fact) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 24, 15:51:52

        wonder how many on here would take 31pts heading into April (NCFC) - Brandonio, Sep 24, 17:20:33
        
        i will be disappointed if we dont have 31pts (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Sep 24, 17:51:02
        
        i'm a tad concerned we might have it all sewn up rather early (NCFC) - Tombs, Sep 24, 17:18:59
    - if every team alternated home and away every week... (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 24, 16:02:01
      - Ooh, bit of good Combinatorics. You're right. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 24, 16:03:22
- Shit happens! (n/m) (NCFC) - corfinWaller, Sep 24, 15:42:31
