Premier League fixtures

[Craig_H]

If the title goes to the last day, let's make sure we're the ones sitting at the top. Because the mancs have got Stoke at OT and Chelsea have Wigan at SB. Predictably, we're away at Hull who'll probably be fighting for their lives with a big home crowd behind them

And we have Chelsea 2nd to last game of the season.

Random my arse.

Wolves at Home on Boxing day.

Why no New Years Day fixture.

Is this to do with the cup?

Published in about 40 mins, but this is gonna be a tricky one, as they're licensed/copywritten and sites such as the BBC pay for the right to publish them on their website. I'm assuming EST doesnt have the licence for this so copying and pasting them could well be problematic for the site.

The alternative, i guess, is using non-official terms for the clubs...Le Arse, Renties, Bitters, Scum, Blue Mancs etc.

Maybe MrM or someone important can clarify

As a site we can't publish or promote them ourselves for the reason you state. Hence how we've always had to be a bit careful with the fixtures sticky and only had the few nearest upcoming games listed.

If a member chooses to post a selection of them in this thread using unofficial terms or not then that's up to them unless someone complains, obviously we haven't got the time to monitor this forum 24/7.....

I fancy Birmingham to get a result.

I don't. Birmingham are awful. Big Ek loves his old boss too

[Vermilion]

and chelsea home to hull... fixed :-(

isn't this the 6th away start in succession?

8th or 9th.. more like. quite incredible.

Yes - the games are pulled back because of the World Cup

Why 'should' it be anywhere in particular?

I was of the opinion that home/away games rotated .....e.g. we played them at anfield in first half of last season, i thought it would be a home game in March '10 and not away as last season?

man u at home against promoted team starter EVERY F***ING YEAR!
renties similar while we (for the xth time this decade) start away at spurs. hopefully our new striker will get a debut goal like cisse but turn good

Don't really care to much about the fixtures order - all teams have to face eachother 2 times, and the particular order is of no relevance IMO.

What can have an effect is how they are placed in connection with european games, but even that is usually a poor excuse.

All managers do when talking about fixtures is taking the pressure away from other more important aspects in the media.

That's not my understanding mate, it's meant to be random

No

Decent run-in apart from the Chelsea game. Let's hope we're in a good position after the Man Utd away game.

Is it not the case that the champions are supposed to have a home game first to parade the trophy and all that crap?
