    NUFC.com will be posting the 2012/13 fixtures as they originally appear (before being hashed up by TV demands) on Monday.

    Something to look forward to and start making plans for the away trips.
    _____________________________________________

    It's almost that time again, as next season's Premier League schedule is published on Monday - and then mangled beyond recognition by the demands of TV.

    Isn't it Badger that usually has them an hour or so earlier than the PL website?

    Played FM for the first time in ages the other day, and got a fixture list of:

    Man Utd (A)...got humped 5-0, of course
    Arsenal (H)... No 4-4 for me... but they did score 4...
    Chelsea (A)... This was the point where I swore copiously and said loudly to myself that I'd never play it ever again (/until I'd forgotten all about it)... Actually the point was at going from 2 up to losing 7-2 (WTF????!!!!!)
    Fulham (H) Who have somehow got the funds to sign NEYMAR and CAPOUE and DEBUCHEY? (they spent 93 mill in total, glad I didn't continue!)
    Man City (A)... This would have been fun...

    All after STEAM downloaded an updated mod for me, so instead of giving us a fighting chance with 10 Million to spend, we have 3 Million and a **** representation of Papiss Demba Cisse who can't score...


    Hope to god we never get a fixture list like this!

    omfg. I personally hope we play City and United mid season when they're usually at their weakest.

    Yeah, and I personally like having Sunderland at home around Christmas/New Year. Would be nice to hit the ground running if we survive the opening Europa rounds!

    This would be great IMO -

    Aston Villa (H)
    Everton (A) - One of the toughest fixtures later in the season, might as well get it out the way
    Liverpool (H)
    Norwich (A)

    A bit of a mixture.

    Aston Villa at home sounds good for the first fixture.

    What was the score the last time we played Villa at home in our first game? I seem to have forgotten.

    Internet rumor going around that Arsenal are at home to Sunderland on the first day, which means we will be at home good bet it will be Tottenham then.

    I dunno mate, but our last 4 fixtures vs Villa, i think, are -

    Home - 6-0 win
    Away - 1-0 loss
    AWay - 1-1 draw
    Home - 2-1 win - Cisse's first goal the winner.

    That's one of the away games I was planning on going to, I hope it isn't the first.
