Title: Who do you want first?
Post by: rjp on June 16, 2011, 11:13:33 AM: The fixtures for next season are out tomorrow at 9am.

Premier League (http://www.premierleague.com/page/Headlines/0,,12306~2373426,00.html)

Who would you like first?

I'll accept anyone except one of the newly promoted clubs but if I had to pick one it'd probably be Stoke away. Not for football reasons, it's one of the away games I really want to go to next season and I've heard it's a cold stadium. Therefore going in August would be good.

Aye, Blackburn would suit me.

Post by: Mark Someone on June 16, 2011, 11:27:43 AM: Norwich away, for the reason that's my birthday weekend and I wouldn't mind spending it in Great Yarmouth.

It's Bolton away.

You seem definate ?
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: glasses on June 16, 2011, 12:05:32 PM: Id like Swansea away in August or May. Be a nice excuse to vist friends in Pembrokeshire for the weekend. First home to be someone beatable. Everton away always seems to be on my birthday!
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: PeterWithesShin on June 16, 2011, 12:10:29 PM: It's going to be one of the "big boys", just to add pressure to AM. I can see us being given the fixture list from hell to start the season.

Ideally, Blackburn at home. A real ground filler of a fixture.
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: Damo70 on June 16, 2011, 01:48:44 PM: Someone away so AM can get a win under his belt before his Villa Park debut.

Agreed!!
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: villanic on June 16, 2011, 02:21:57 PM: Man utd, Chelsea or man citeh away, we'll play them off the park with McLeish's attacking football and win 3-0.

I can dream can't I.
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: Austin1975 on June 16, 2011, 03:40:49 PM: Hopefully Manure away. Jerome hat-trick in front of the Stretford End!

The future's not bright, it's ginger and sweaty.
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: TheSandman on June 16, 2011, 03:43:33 PM: I'd like an easy one.

We will, however, get a difficult game. Hopefully Chelsea away as I have that in the sweepstake.
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: Mazrim on June 16, 2011, 03:46:51 PM: I dont want a promoted side. They nearly always come out of the blocks like a dog with ten dicks and love it, plus we'd be expected to clatter them and I'd rather ease into the season.

Somebody like Wigan away would do nicely. Give them a good bollocking and then the pressure will be off fucking eck a little bit to make his home debut.

My gut feeling is that it will be Bolton at home.

Yeah, cos he's famous for setting up teams to win away games
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: Fuse on June 16, 2011, 03:50:57 PM: Bolton at home
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: mr woo on June 16, 2011, 04:00:09 PM: If it were (for example) Wigan at home, how many would bother to turn up?

Being optimistic, It'd be nice to play, and beat, a big name so that we'd come away thinking things ain't so gloomy after all. Like the 3-1 v Man U in Brian Littles first full season.
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: jonzy85 on June 16, 2011, 04:01:24 PM: A tough away fixture.

If we beat Man Utd, Chelsea or Arsenal away on the first day, then have our first home game v Wigan and stuff them, these dark days will be long forgotten. 8)
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: Fin Feds Dad on June 16, 2011, 04:05:54 PM: It will be Swansea away , lunchtime kick off.
We will lose.
Our inept manager will not pick darren bent.
Bit like Pompey away a few years ago when the inept manager(o Leary) didn't play mellberg
I can foresee alot of comparisons with o Leary over the next season or so.
How has it come to this ??
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: Villafirst on June 16, 2011, 05:10:50 PM: Looking a bit further ahead, I reckon we'll get Blues away in the Carling Cup!
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: darren woolley on June 16, 2011, 05:28:48 PM: Blackburn or Wolves at home or Fulham away I would take any of these teams we need to start with a win and these are winnable games.

Guaranteed to draw them in one of the cups

Post by: The Moose on June 16, 2011, 06:46:33 PM: Does it matter who we play? Really? The deed is done.

The dark side has enveloped the light.

Post by: l_mckay on June 16, 2011, 08:03:20 PM: nice easy game at home will do me!
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: Lambert and Payne on June 16, 2011, 08:14:12 PM: Stoke or wigan away would be nice
Would also quite like wanky at home

The next time you see me wearing a hat, you have permission to put a pineapple up my bum.
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: The Left Side on June 17, 2011, 03:36:26 AM: Anyone at home
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: sg on June 17, 2011, 07:04:52 AM: Quite the opposite. Anyone away - get a good result on the road, come back to VP the next week to smiling faces and generous applause.

Post by: pooligan on June 17, 2011, 09:47:51 AM: Villafirst,there is a good chance with this manager we will already be out of the Carling Cup when Small Heath enter it. They are exempt untill the 3rd round
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: Summers on June 17, 2011, 11:10:04 AM: Yeah, this manager couldn't win the Carling Cup if his life depended on it.

Oh.. wait..
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: WALTERS WARRIORS on June 17, 2011, 11:23:14 AM: "Mcleish wins the Carling Cup in successive years with two rival teams" Wow that would be some headline ..........
Title: Re: Who do you want first?
Post by: rjp on June 17, 2011, 03:34:25 PM: "McLeish wins the FA Cup with Villa" would be even better, the noses at work would avoid me for weeks :)
