Manchester United ‏@themanutdway 40m

INFO: Manchester United will play away to Aston Villa on the opening day of the season, according to leaked information. #mufc

[Villa in Denmark]

I'll go for couldn't give a monkeys, just relieved it's still a PL fixture list we're looking at.

The fixtures always seemed to be leaked and are never correct. Still get Man Ure out of the way if true.

I really dont care who we take on as long as we have a proper training regime in place over the summer. I want the lads to come back fighting fit.

Time to return to older, tried and tested training techniques upon which this once glorious club was built.....

If that Man Utd rumor is true (which I doubt) then I guess some MOTD pudit will be saying that famous phase about us on the opening day, but once again he would be wrong because before long we will be winning the a certain league title right

Except that now they are crap it might be the other way round, they started pretty well last season.

Judging by the way we started last season, we shouldn't care who we play ;-)

I wonder if things would have been different had we got the three points from Chelsea second game rather than the zero we did get, whether we might have got some real momentum from that, some proper confidence.

I don't think so because all season our problem was never against the bigger teams, but against the rest.  Also, for quite a lot of the first half of the season we actually played quite well even when we lost.
