Look at the football league fixtures, the first and last games of the season? Why are the top few pre-season favourites ALL given a home game to start the season and HOME games to end the season?
No Seriously this is not about Saturday.... honestly if you look at the favourite for all of the 3 leagues they get better fixtures??? it is like if you go up this year i put money you will start and away fixture!!!
I am pretty sure that the computor programmers don't put into the mix that certain teams are the favourites for promotion just they can get such a draw with the fixtures.
