*****************


Summary: Everton have the least travel requirement coming up, with just a short trip to Stoke on NYD. Chelsea also have it quite easy. All the other teams in the top 7 have considerably more travel in their schedule over the next 3 games.

The fixture list has been remarkably kind to us. Let's take advantage and kick on.

I think if you're traveling in first class and via plane it doesn't really matter tbh, especially in such a small country like England. Worse for the fans.

Tidal is right, only reason we havent won there is because of him and him alone

Not sure it makes a great deal of difference.

Does the team ever fly to games?

All London based games.

All London based games.

Think they get the train down too. Someone on Twitter was saying there was a load of fans on the same train back up after Arsenal, and that Jags, Baines and a couple of others were singing along to Allez Allez Allez Ohh

You don't think that having to put up with 600 miles' worth of round trips over the next week would take a bit more out of you than normal? Wanna come and work for me?

I know these guys are professional footballers and are used to it, but spending so much time on plane/coach/train is bound to blunt your edge a bit, surely.

Also, it is very possible that if any of these trips are by plane, they would be hit with the storm winds we have had lately.

Good for us fans!

Doubt the players are too arsed

 

[Woolly Blue]

Two home games is great but no-one likes going to Stoke. The fact that it's only 50 miles is irrelevant.I'd rather we travel 200+ miles to Swansea again than go to chew on an oatcake on New Years Day.
