Opening Day Predictions - Stoke City (a)

[dave.woodhall]

It's the first time for 24 years I haven't had to plan my next twelve months out today.

[Dave Cooper please]

I look through that list and wonder where the hell we're going to get a win from.

Relegation is on the cards this season I think.

That's the spirit!

My main gripe is that the FA Cup Third Round is being played TWO DAYS after a full set of Premier League fixtures. Do they not want clubs to treat it seriously?

Sorry, stupid question.

[cdbearsfan]

Have to say looking at some of the away trips...what bright spark though Swansea was local to the Midlands for a boxing day match?!

As local as it gets for Swansea. The alternative is to have them play away every Boxing Day but that would hardly be fair.

It's what I've been dragged down to!

[ChicagoLion]

Lets face it, the state the club is in all fixtures look scary. That run of 5 games Sept to October with the 6th away to QPR looks frightening.

We really need the clubs future to be sorted out before the season starts.

If you're hoping to catch the highlights of our opening game on Match of the Day, be prepared to stay up late.

[Hampshire Villa]

It's the first time for 24 years I haven't had to plan my next twelve months out today.

 Me too and as sad as it is, I'm quite relaxed about it!

[olaftab]

Away again! Can't remember the last time we had a homer on opening day?
Anyway I note on the official site that there is only one Football Club we are playing this season in the guise of Hull City.

[Small Rodent]

Paul Lambett - manager of the month for September. You read it here first.

And last probably.

[Goldie.7]

I think we'll be in the bottom 3/4 by December. JC and PS are absolutely garbage signings and won't be the quality injection we desperately need.

Yeah that Joe Kole is awful.

They could always play in their own countries pyramid!

Or get relegated so that they can play Cardiff.
