It would be nice if we could pick up six points from those first two games at home to Sheffield United and away to Fulham.
Haven't read through this thread, so not sure if it's already been mentioned, but why the fuck are us and Burnley having to miss week one just because of the Manchester clubs?Why didn't they just pair us up with Burnley for Week 1 and make the postponed fixture the Manc derby so that only 2 clubs are behind rather than 4?
Wolves were asking for them and Chelsea to get the Manchester clubs first up. Chelsea and Wolves actually played Man. United first two games last season.Would seem very logical but apparently TV didn't want Manchester derby too early in the season.
Anyone know HOW the fixtures are compiled? Is it an entirely computer generated thing, just with algorithms to avoid having neighbouring clubs playng at home together or something a little measured?I mean it can't be coincidence that Liverpool face Leeds at Anfield on the opening weekend? It would be interesting to see how the fixture lists are actually put together.
