Premier League fixtures

[Bari]

Sky will change the fixture list, there's no 'super sundays' And arse have been proper ****ed over 30/01,06/02, 09/02. Utd, Chavs,and then us in 1 week.We'll take this title

[Scratch]

Mancs first two games, against newly promoted sides. Nice little start.

Tough start really...start of the season, full of vim and vigour, relishing playing in the big time....i'd rather play them later on, when they've taken a few batterings and their morale is lower, when the excitement of the crowd has died.

Yep, and finish at home to Stoke too. Isn't it nice how they're always so well looked after.

Don't you think the beginning of the season is the worst time to face newly promoted sides though? At least that's what most of us seem to say when it happens to us!

I think there are so many factors that go into creating the fixture list that any semblance of random is far, far removed.

have a look at the bbc football page, there's a whole feature about what goes into making them and how one team can affect 20 or more others. Its a good article but it still doesn't explain why we start and finish away from ****ing home.

Can work both ways, they're full of beans and optimism, but also green and naive. Later in the season, they could've taken a few batterings and died out, or they might have got their feet on the ground, assessed the league a bit better and be better equipped.

Chelsea have spurs (H), us (H), Blackburn (H), Mancs (H), Arse (A), Everton (H)
Mancs have Man City (H), Sunderland (H), Us (A), Chelsea (A), Hull (H), Vill(H)

So 5 out of 6 at home for Chavs & 4 out of 6 home Mancs...........

Man City at OT will be a walkover for the scum. Out of the 6 games they have after CL games, 2 are hard. The rest will be piss easy. If they'd had City away and Villa away, then yeah, it'd be tricky.

5 out of 6 of chelsea's are home too

In fairness to Everton it is an away game for us tho

Can you back up those stats from the last 16 years? I think you may have been mis-informed.

[Whelan5]

Is it just my imagination or do we seem to play Spurs on either the first or last day of the season regularly??
