2012 / 2013 fixtures

[dave.woodhall]

I've just seen the fixtures and for some reason they look harder and it seems we are going to play more tougher opponents successively than the opposite.

And away games to start and finish the season??? Wtf.

In English, please?

[dave.woodhall]

Not always you didn't.

We did.

2006-07 - started & finished away.
2008-09 started & finished at home.

Other notable seasons, off the top of my head. 1980-81, 1987-88 & 1989-90, 2000-01, all away. 1982-83, 1988-89, home.

1980/81 we started and finished with away games. Worked out well that season.
And 81/82 was home and home.

[olaftab]

Yes OK but still don't like iiiiit!

I know my post sounds strange but its what I first thought when seeing the fixtures compared to last season's. I guess the mantra of there are no easy games in the premier league is true.

Well our destiny is in our own hands. We're currently 2nd in the league level on points with Arsenal who are top. Title is there for the taking.

I`m with Pete - lets be positive

at least until the end of August

[Concrete John]

I remember DOL having a moan that we had a few seasons running with away games to start and finish with around his time.  From memory, he had a point.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Not long to wait until Fulham away - awesome.

I would love that cnut to choke on one of his own dildo's

I really hope we beat the arial combat X1 on their own pitch - i almost detest fat sams face as much as Gold's

Must get down to Specsavers at first glimpse I could have sworn it read anal combat!

[Risso]

From the initial list and subject to alterations I'm going to try and beat my attendance from last season, and get to:

home v Everton
away v Fulham
away v Man City
home v Stoke
home v Wigan
away v Everton
home v Sunderland
away v Wigan

at the very least.  Can't wait for the season to start now.

[Chico Hamilton III]

All the London away games, bar Arsenal, are before Christmas?

And I'm on Holiday for West Ham

[danlanza]

West ham away first game. That will be interesting, my local is a West Ham bar. Need as many Villa lads across here as possible cause we are in the minority against the Hammers. Already upset a few of them with txt and e-mail haha.

Looks like it'll be us that finally relegate Wigan, then. Cracking.

As luck would have it I'm returning back to the UK around 11th October as the missus is due to give birth on the 14th. It'll be in London. And on the 20th we're away at Fulham! Couldn't have timed it all better. Then the following week I'll nip up to Brum for a home game and its Norwich. Nice.

[Toronto Villa]

There's no home game September 1st through September 9th. That is shit seing as I'm coming home for those days. I really wanted to watch us extend our lead at the top.

Lambert OUT!
