Fixtures 09/10 - The Offishul thread

Wednesday 10am

Who you want / expect on the opener - sure as Hell it'll be Sunday at 4PM as Sky usually move the champions on the first weekend.

Reckon we'll get one of the promoted 3, possibly away.

Interesting link from the BBC - whether you believe this or not is up to you - wonder if we'll get another 'grand slam sunday' next season

Said this.

W-olves away Sunday@4

would love to start with a bang though - dippers@Anfield

First or second away game will be Pompey.

No question of that.

Will be my annual away day.

its not who we play first...its who we have in the run in and where that matters

Very rare that the Champions are away first game.
Utd will get a choice if they play home or away first.

The true fixtures dont come out till Sky have messed with them.

Will be interesting to see who we get Boxing/New Years day, as usually a North East club, so would leave Hull or Sunderland. Why they dont keep them more local I'll never know. They will also throw in some random midweek, like last season when we played away at Pompey and Everton played away at Spurs, why we didnt play Everton and Pompey play Spurs i'll never know.

The Europa league will mean a lot more games on a Sunday and the first knockout stage of the champiosn league is spead over 4 weeks now, so clubs wont know who they play either side of that, might stop some moaning by Benitez!

The end of April/beginning of May is always fixed so we play the potetial challengers, so liverpool/Chelsea/Arsenal will be in there.
Probably fixed so we play away at Liverpool before end of September, as we are never at our peak by then.

I hope we play our first 19 games away.

Cheers for the heads up Mr Scudamore.

depends who macclesfield or some such want to play according to that link

Bolton at home - full circle on a summer of hype

or Villa away!

or

The top one.

The jockey looks like Zola at a fancy dress party.

Villa away

...or Arsenal at home. That'd be a nice curtain raiser.

Most likely Hull at Old Trafford though..

Can't wait Hope we've got a couple of quality signings by then (although we usually leave it till the very last minute) ...& fingers crossed Wazza comes through pre-season & the opening game unscathed for the first time in his United career.

any london away please.

liverpool away last match of the season, yhihf

Will be in september.12th or 13th.

Seeing as we're likely to have a few new players, we could do with a relatively easy first few games.

Won't happen.

The forum would be in meltdown if we went into that 1 point ahead.

think i said this in another thread - portsmouth (probably away; apparently we've had a home fixture for something like the last 4 years)

Arsenal to get West Ham first game of the season.

YHIHF.

United will get City at home in the first 5 games.

First game will be Spurs at home.
