    If the twitter leak is right correct we have Mr Hughes and his Stoke side away.

    Thoughts.,

    I didn't think the fixtures had actually been drawn yet. And, also, this is something someone could easily spread as a rumour because it would be a fixture with a lot of meaning and would cause a stir on the good old internet.

    Stoke away in the first game is OK unless we lose, then I'd hate it, y'hear! I'd really hate it! Grrrrrr!....

    "Leaks" about the opening day fixtures tend to be.......wrong!

    See this link. From the info here the fixtures are certainly in place with final checks / tweeks only.

    There is nothing that implies it is a random process so a scheduled grudge match against Stoke away seems plausible.

    Interestingly, this site claims that fixtures will be published today!

    Of course that 17th may refer to a previous year??

    The text explicitly refers to the 2010/2011 season. So, rather out of date.

    Yeah, the names are not right.

    Its usually 99% bollocks but I remember someone getting a euro or WC draw right at several hundred thousand to one odds.
    What's even stranger is that I thought it was drawn "live"

    Can anyone remember what it was?

    A couple of years back the CL rehearsal draw for the 1st knockout stage came out the exact same as the actual draw, just an incredible coincidence!!

    Or FIFA just being FIFA!

    They can easily fix draws if they want, just cool the big teams balls ( oooeer) and then they can keep them apart.

    I'm pretty sure the draw isn't live either like the fa cup. I wouldn't put anything past them.

    Two teams are going to get thrown out for fielding ineligible players against us?

    Also, one promoted team always gets a top four side on the opening day.

    Told you it would be bollocks.

    Hull at home, theres a winnable game lost!

    I said a promoted team always gets a top four side and Burnley get the scum.
