Agreed. Anyway, my predictions Opening game: City (H) Boxing Day: City (A) Final day: City (Because the football gods hate us)
I’m predicting a tough start, but we will do well before our mid season slump when we get trounced by 3 promoted sides on the bounce. Cheery as ever.
Yeah I've always got my eye out for this reason. Aways I'm looking out for next season are in order of priority are: Spuds West Ham Everton Forest Palace Hopefully none of those are until at least October.
I wouldn't mind Bournemouth either actually but I've been before so not bothered enough to go through hassle of sorting tickets. Be more tempted if it's Summer time but nailed on that it's scheduled between October and February and/or a night match. I'll probably do Fulham if its Summer though thinking about it.
That wouldn't be a terrible start from my point of view though it'd be a tough match. Be nice to play some of the top teams in the last week or two before the WC break.
Would be nice if we have a couple of winnable games in the first few fixtures - you know what we are like with bad runs of form!
Extremely difficult of true. Only 1 game where we won't be big under dogs. Leicester and Wolves obviously not impossible but with both being away that is really tricky. That Leeds game is very important. I think Ralph will be under greater pressure than any other season and if we struggle in our first 5 or 6 games that is only going to increase.
My mate Billy assures me our first set of fixtures are - Fulchester Utd F.C. (H) Earls Park F.C. (A) Hounslow Harriers (H) Melchester Rovers (A) Denton F.C. (H) Milton Keynes Dons (A) Tough start but the Dons are always there for the taking.
Oh cripes, just seen our start… Four European contenders and one relegation battler (from last season) in the first five. Three at home and two away, starting with an away.
