Im as bored as hell and there's no proper football on so IMO setting up a competition for anyone that wants to enter.

I have tried to guess opening day fixtures and other events I.e Reading Festival (meaning Reading will almost certainly start off at home) as well as Olympics (which means West Ham will almost certainly start off away).

If anyone manages to guess one or more fixtures absolutely spot on I'll give away all my free points (I have loads). By spot on I mean the fixture must be called totally correct. I.e home team vs away team in order. If you manage to get it half right points will be given out at my discretion ;)

Here's my guess:

Chelsea vs Wigan
Reading vs Fulham
Southampton vs Manchester United
Manchester City vs Newcastle
Sunderland vs Arsenal
Everton vs WBA
Stoke City vs Liverpool
Aston Villa vs QPR
Tottenham vs Norwich
Swansea vs West Ham
 
Right then:

Wigan v Chelsea
Newcastle v Fulham
QPR v Man City
Arsenal v Swansea
Man Utd v Sunderland
WBA v Tottenham
Southampton v Norwich
West Ham v Stoke
Liverpool v Aston Villa
Reading v Everton
 
Aren't all London teams away on the first day due to the running and jumping going on in Stratford?

Anyway:

Sunderland v QPR
Man U v Reading
Southampton v Man City
Norwich v Chelsea
Liverpool v West Ham
Newcastle v Spurs
Villa v Arsenal
Swansea v Fulham
Wigan v West Brom
Stoke v Everton
 
Norwich vs Chelsea
Newcastle vs Arsenal
Man City vs Reading
Southampton vs Spuds
Man United vs West Ham
Stoke vs Liverpool
Aston Villa vs Swansea
Everton vs Fulham
West Brom vs Sunderland
Wigan vs QPR

Be surprised if anyone wins <laugh>

I thought that was just a myth. I sure hope not otherwise its looking like our first game at the Bridge may not be till September, either that or we will have to Open on a Sunday.

The latest rumours I'm hearing are that West Ham are away to City and Chelsea are away to Wigan but obviously nothing is confirmed or official, just ITK talk

Yeh I have heard that we will be away to Wigan which means that I will get one EXACTLY right :-)
 
I hope you're wrong DL. Like you, having lived in this most dismal of cities for three years I'm not planning on coming back so soon.
