I actually want Wetspam away, get their cup final out the way asap, and they won't be able to claim stopping us if we lose.

A nice easy home fixture after, perhaps an Arscum or Manure, then as we always seem to get Liverpool early, play them away for a change:whistle:

I look at the first couple of games, then look to see what our run in is like.

In something like 92 out of the last 24 seasons we've been away on the opening day, with Arsenal being at home.

Would be typical to find that for the first time since the old king died we're at home this year on the opening day, in the one season when even our home games are being played away from home.

I'll be very interested in the fixtures preceding and following our CL games this year.

Because last season we were set up like kippers.

Would be nice to get an early big scalp at Wembley and put that shite to bed.

Can't see the fuzz going for that. But then they allowed the Friday night game this year, so what do I know?

Are you sure that you're not exaggerating?

My guesses:

First game - West Brom Away
First home game - Newcastle
Boxing Day - Brighton Home
Last game - Bournemouth Home

I'd like to get some of the away games against the big sides done with early in the season, preferably before they've had time to properly bed in their new players. We look to be one of, if not the most settled top side, and as such *should* be quick out of the blocks. Chelsea at the start of last season, was a totally different animal to the side we met away in november, for example.

I think we'll start at home, and they'll give us the early KO.

Packed out Wembley will be a great start to PL17/18.
