I don't buy the leaked games thing. I only saw this leaked games this morning and made the prediction last week (on the Chelsea board). please log in to view this image
****in amazes me why you'd be remotely interested in our games, I couldn't give a flying who Chelsea have got and I certainly wouldn't bother my arse to visit your boards to find out, you're weird.
That's a shock, we're away yet again for our 1st game! At least it won't be a long journey this time!
Really didn't want a promoted team on their own patch for the first game. Promoted teams usually play one of their best games of the season on the first day. With it being a London rival too, Palace will be well up for it.
At least its not the 1st two, where we'll be playing with AVB's mrs up front, one of his kids at LB and the other in CM
It's being played on the day AVB starts sorting out our Summer's transfers. Anything in August is written off. Hopefully it'll be snowed off till we're ready?
Normally I'd agree but Palace have lost their best player and weren't that great to begin with. I think it's an excellent tie for us and I'd be surprised if we didn't beat them comfortably. Pleased to get Arsenal early too. Hopefully Levy will get his cheque book out early so we're not just throwing a team together last minute.
I hope i don't get the law on me for saying this but...........riot? (that is a joke btw, just in case)
How often do newly promoted teams lose "comfortably" on the opening day? I've thought the same many a time when we've played newly promoted teams (Hull, Wigan) but been proven wrong. Spurs won't be at 100% due to lack of match fitness and Palace will be running purely on adrenaline so the natural gap in footballing ability between the two sides will narrow.
