The poll above represents the Optimists and Realists when it comes to Spurs fans.

The Realists win.

So we have Newcastle away, Chelsea at home, Everton away, Liverpool at home, man utd away, arsenal away in our first 8 fixtures. Talk about getting the hard games out of the way

Fucking hell.... Now what was that Harry Redknapp quote again :whistle:

We cant start this season like last season, so the onus will be on Pochettino and Levy to ensure we are ready.

No we don't.

In our first 10 games yes.

But to be honest by 10 games in you'd expect to have played quite a few tough teams.

To be fair we were due one in 2011 but some wazzocks burnt down a supermarket.

Still though. It's got to be more than just luck of the draw at this stage!

Thing is, I'm not even that bothered because we all know you have to play 19 home games and 19 away games anyway, it just feels like there's a conspiracy.

At least we play the last game of the season at home this time. Shouldn't have to play both first and last away IMO.

Am I reading a different fixture list to you? There are the 6 games I mentioned above plus Burnley at home and palace at home unless I'm mistaken?

Check on the BBC. Liverpool and United are our 9th and 10th games according to them.

I'm going by the Premier league website that was linked earlier in the thread

EDIT which is missing 16th 23rd and 30th September for some reason.

Just seen Everton's fixtures too, pretty nasty is their opening 5, they have Stoke at home followed by Man city away, Chelsea away, Spurs at home and United away, ouch. 3 of the biggest and toughest away games in the opening 5 games, that's very strange.
