Manchester United manager David Moyes says he finds his club's start to the season "hard to believe". Among their first five games, the champions play Chelsea at home and Manchester City and Liverpool away. Moyes said: "I think it's the hardest start for 20 years that Manchester United have had. "I hope it's not because Manchester United won the league quite comfortably last year [that] the fixtures have been made much more difficult." He added: "I find it hard to believe that's the way the balls came out of the bag, that's for sure." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23710359 I totally agree with him, look at the last 10 years of the premier league and Chelsea always have easy starts and that's why they're top of the table at the start of the season, City have also had easier games to begin the season with as well.
Ask District Line. I'm sure he made a few after our home game with Chelsea was moved to a Monday night in a 'blatant display of favouritism'
Before you lot start saying ****, wasn't it you who was moaning about the Monday night game at OT being fixed to hand United an advantage HAHAHA
You can discuss this very subject on the Chelsea board. It's one of the top three non-stickied threads on the board which all happen to be about Manchester United. It's nice that they look up to United.
It is a tough start and 8 points from the first 5 would be reasonable given the fixtures but imagine the bleating that will inevitably follow if you're 5-7 points off the pace by then. Certain fans will overreact if that happens.
So Chelsea can lead the table in November and their fans can get all excited before they inevitably collapse and end up 10 points behind us by April
