Demitri_C Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Always some fake rumours fly around. Would like to get United away first get it out the way nice and early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) I really hope we don't get hit with another ridiculous run against the top teams like we did around September-November last season. I still think that helped to set the course for most of the season. And if we're away on the opening day AGAIN I'll be pissed off. We haven't been at home on the first day since 2010. Then again, we're shit at home. Edited June 15, 2015 by Mantis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Watford at home would be nice, simply because it is, on paper, the easiest game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 im away for the 1st 2 weeks so will miss 4 games i think, hoping its not west ham away, got to get that stadium in before they move, last year we had QPR on the monday night and then west ham away on the saturday which IMO is ridiculous cant wait to know what games of ours sky are sticking on a friday night too, i'd love to know who they asked and decided wanted that, i want a firday night game like i want a 2nd asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 away to newly promoted team is worst game we can get, they always up for it opening game away to Sunderland be a good start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryVilla15 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 What if we get the baggies on the first day? One in 19 chance of happening fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Am I the only one who doesn't give a crap about the fixtures being released now? They all change anyway because of TV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'd like someone like Chelsea or City, as the first day is a bit of an unknown. There's a slightly higher chance of us causing an upset before things settle down, e.g Arsenal away 2 seasons ago opening day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 15, 2015 Moderator Share Posted June 15, 2015 What if we get the baggies on the first day? One in 19 chance of happening fingers crossedGiven the way police have an input into the fixtures and Sky like the big games to be spread out I actually don't think the adjusted odds of that happening are 1 in 19. Would be good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 The promoted teams will most likely get games against the top 6 clubs and be on TV whilst the likes of us will kick off on Saturday @ 15.00 against Newcastle. I hope the fixtures are better spread for us this season rather than getting the glut of tough games we often seem to get together. I guess our last game next season will be at Wembley again!

Mantis Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I bet the United away fixture is in March/April - it's always around then for some reason. Also, does anyone else remember that we've had Crystal Palace, Swansea and Sunderland in the exact 3 game block (Boxing Day to new year) for the past 2 seasons running?

BOF Posted June 15, 2015 Moderator Share Posted June 15, 2015 I don't know whether it would stand up to scrutiny but in my head we seem to get Spurs during the Christmas break more often than not plus a healthy sprinkling of Christmas Chelsea too.

Brumerican Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 As mentioned before , there are a lot of non random adjustments made to the fixture lists, and for many different reasons. Policing, TV, local teams fixtures, Motorway congestions etc. I believe the clubs even have a tiny say in when they would prefer to play certain games.

lexicon Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Please just not another effing horrible run like the one that sabotaged us early on last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yes. That run against the previous seasons top 7 one after the other really destroyed any momentum we built up in the first four matches. Injuries and international breaks didn't help either. I expect man Utd in December and an opener against Liverpool at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Feck it, I'll go for Everton at home first game with an away day at Spurs for last game of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
