a little over 10 minutes until the fixture list for the new season comes out.

to be honest i'd take anybody at home. we seem to always be away on the first day in recent years so we're due a home fixture. also, if sky are listening, not a bloody 12.45 kick off either.

oh, and look out for mega breakdown super grand slam sunday with the top four playing each other on the same day (coincidentally of course).

Ull home first game.

Pathetic.

what a surprise. away again on the first day.

[Redman in wales]

Utd start at HOME to newcastle

Chelsea start at HOME to portsmouth

Arsenal start at HOME to West Brom

[heimdall]

Well the last 9 games of the season are all winnable, if we are in a position to be challenging by that time 

[Ace Ventura]

Utd start at HOME to newcastle

Chelsea start at HOME to portsmouth

Arsenal start at HOME to West Brom

I think united first few fixtures arent that easy, they have Portsmouth away second game and us away in the fourth game.

[Redman in wales]

quite happy with that actually. could be a lot worse. check out arsenals run-in:

Apr 18  Liverpool (A)
Apr 25  Middlesbrough (H)
May 2  Portsmouth (A)
May 9  Chelsea (H)
May 16  Manchester United (A)
May 24  Stoke City (H)

[NANNY RED]

Made up wve got a couple of sh.tty teams to start im never here for the start of the season im still always away on my hols and i hate it when we have a big team in August cause i always miss the games .

Made up with September

[Roger Red Hat]

i think its been kind to us this season.

[112-1077774096]

april and may are very favorable to us, if we are still in it by then

[Number 9]

Im happy with that,we have 2 pretty easy games(on paper):D to start
Then we have Villa and Martin O'Neill hates LFC now so he will have them well fired up which in due course will be a little tougher than the 1st 2 and get us into shape to beat the Mancs!Oh yeah!

Overall though the big games for us are well spread out and it does not look as if we have any really tough spells of 3 or 4 stinkers together!
Im happy enough with that and especially the run in,if we are chasing at the end we will have a chance!
Bottom line is though we have to play them all twice in some sort of order!
Expect 2 or 3 to be changed to suit Sky Sports!

[Roger Red Hat]

  right - now im fuming!

I just seen the league standings on BBC sport http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/table/default.stm and we're in 9th place.

thats cr@p.  Sack Rafa, it's just not good enough.

If we draw away against Sunderland in the opening you will have people claiming we are out of the title race.
