Fans Left in Fixture Limbo…
In a marvelous stroke of chaos, the Premier League has managed to turn what should be a simple fixture announcement into the footballing equivalent of herding cats… on ice! As City fans crash headlong into a cartoonish waiting game, they find themselves eagerly circling their calendars in anticipation of… absolutely zilch! With a shriek that’s half frustration, half fanfare, the much-anticipated fixture list of the 2025/26 season is as complete as a striker with no feet.
Liverpool aficionados are in a tizzy, as their trip to Newcastle is reshuffled to 8pm on a Bank Holiday Monday, like asking a vampire to sunbathe. Meanwhile, Spurs supporters superstar-leap through hoops to make their way to an early-start at the Etihad for Saturday lunch. But the pièce de résistance? Three whole fixture rounds soaring off, like a striker overshooting his goal in wild disbelief! Commiserations turned comic as the Premier League suggests a follow-up announcement in ‘due course’ — that’s football-speak for whenever elephants fly!
Manchester City fans stare wide-eyed into the abyss of an unscheduled trip to Arsenal. Frantically calculating train schedules, their wallets weep louder than the most dramatic of goalkeepers. The missed deadline doubles as a missed chance for fans to snugly plan their weekends. Pledges evaporate faster than a referee with commitment issues, leaving fans feeling more bewildered than a penalty shootout without a winner. City supporters scratch their heads, scribbling reminders for some mysterious future date with hope as their ultimate kit!
