I wont be able to get to the Man U match on Boxing Day . On the bright side I'll be on the beach at Sharm em shiek
Looking forward to coming back for the last day of the season (hopefully it'll be a joyous occasion & not a sombre one)
Amazing that you bother to look. Amazing.... But I disagree, I fully expect Villa to be top 10 this season. More likely Fulham, Stoke and Swansea near the end are bigger. All isnt well at the Swans and I dont think Laudrup will see the season out hence they're my 'relegation tip who nobody else is tipping'.
How easy will it be to get tickets for Chelsea do we think? or I suppose the real question is will demand outweigh supply and if so by what factor.
Depends which allocation we take 1,600 will sell out fast, 3,000 will probably make it to general sale given the price and that it will probably be on T.V.
At £47 a pop; probably pretty easy. I'll just wait for the Norwich game and then pay £30 for a trip to the Etihad!
I wanted Chelsea for the first game of the season and I got my wish. Cannot wait to embarrass Mourinho. Ironically I am making one of my rare trips to Hull that weekend for a wedding. Oh well, I will go to a different glory-supporter-game instead. Fulham perhaps.
I think the way the fixtures have come out are as good as we could hope for. Some big games over the holiday periods also.
40 points?

All well and good to have our fixtures. But now we wait and see what both SKY and BT do to this list.? The Swansea v. Manchester utd game looks to be the top pick of the opening fixtures for which BT get first chance. If they do then SKY will take 2 games for there super sunday double bill. I would expect the Jose effect to have them doing our game along with maybe Manchester City v. Newcastle for obvious reasons. If our game @ Chelsea changes to a sunday then so be it.
Cracking atmosphere?? You having a laugh?? Stamford bridge was one of the quietest grounds I visited in the premier league - apart from the away section. And it was an early kick off that game and many coaches didn't make it coz of huge delays on the m25. Our coach only just got there in time.
It won't work out like that. We'll get points where we aren't expected to and drop points at teams we have a reasonable chance of beating.
fantastic opener. My family and friends are all chelsea fans. Win or loose for me it will be a great day out. However a trip on the train home after a great hull win would be amazing. Will be good to witness the return of the special one
