I was just trying to point out its been 50 years since we had Arsenal at home first match. With 19 home games a season theres a 1 in 19 chance per season. We're more than well overdue for it, and i've no doubt the universe has a funny sense of humour, and the person who organises the fixtures may just think "haha 1st game new stadium lets make it arsenal spurs... that'd be fun". It may be contentious but it'd definately get everyones attention at the start of the season. The viewing figures would be through the roof. And your right anything other than victory isnt an option.in that scenario.
If we opt for 3 opening away games, the next one would be at home, arsenal would be away that day at someplace to resolve any problem. That just shortens the odds.
I see no reason in this guide as to why if it dropped that way the fixture would be moved.

The fixture computer then randomises the results according to this grid before a two-day review period to check there are no problems.
Or am i just wrong in my thinking?
