Anyone know why their RS get a 3 week break in the league after they play tomorrow?

They are not the only team. It's the mid winter break the prem came up with a few years ago, where 10teams play one week and the other teams play the week later

But they(and a few others) will get a longer break than us, as we play Villa on the jan 14th then 2 weeks later, so not a 3 week break.

twist it the other way, teams that play the 20th could play the 30th. while we get 2weeks off. basically the way its worked out is 3weeks & 1 week break for some. while for us and a few others - its 2weeks then 1 game then 2weeks again

Of course my Internet dies for 5 minutes and I miss a goal.

Aren't league cup semis within that time period as well though?

Yeah, Fulham play RS at home in the 2nd leg just before they play us at home in the league.

 

[Nymzee]

Good goal Fulham

So not a longer break then? Longest they have without a game is 10 days due to the carabao if it's still called that.

Arsenal look so weak of late.

 

[HowardsWay]

Nice for Raul Jimenez to score against the team that nearly killed him.

 

[GP_Monty]

Arsenal look so weak of late.

They look shattered to me, so easy to run through. Have they got a load of injuries or what?

 

[vagablonde - kopite]

Unless Arsenal win this, I am ruling them out of the title,you simply can't just take 1 point of West Ham and Fulham in 4 days if you are serious contenders.

 

[PITA]

But they(and a few others) will get a longer break than us, as we play Villa on the jan 14th then 2 weeks later, so not a 3 week break.

Probably for the same reason that we had 3 days between our two Christmas games and the RS have 6 days.

 

[vagablonde - kopite]

Arsenal look so weak of late.

Can't seem to play poorly and win like a real title contender should.

Not that I can recall. Think it's a lack of inhalers. You watch 31-year old Salah charge around tomorrow like an 8 year old after eating 20 sherbet dibdabs in a row.
