Its a pretty tough start for me. Stoke away is never easy and they did have a really good season last time, so without sounding too dull, a boring 0-0 would be fine by me. Then I think the next two matches might lead to a few points, and having Liverpool and Arsenal back to back will be tough, but then getting big teams early in a season is not always a bad thing. Its hard to predict Villa really, but that is a finely tough start. I think we need to get something from the first game, and perform better in the home matches than we did last season and then build from there.
