Fixtures out now

I don't care about it - just don't roll over and die in the four games involving  the two teams from Manchester, please Villa.

It's going to be Norwich away where Buendia will get loads of shit off the yokels before scoring the winner and sprinting the length of the pitch making a shushing motion at them!!

Got a feeling it will be  Liverpool

Play Conor. He scores and/or sets up 5. We win 10-1. We sell him a week later for £20m. Job done.

I'd rather avoid the promoted teams in the first few weeks.  Sometimes it's good to get some big guns early before they hit their straps, so I wouldn't mind Chelsea.

If crowds are still restricted, get one of the tough aways over with, we'll have a better chance without their braying fans.

Promoted teams always get drawn against the Big Four™ first up, so we'll have to wait until next season for that.
Anyone at home first up will do. Full house, epic noise, arses handed back on a plate.

[Toronto Villa]

We are suited to playing away and I would rather expose a side and help us get into the groove by playing on the counter right off the bat. So for me anyone in that mid table pr lowe grouping away. Everton, Spurs, Arsenal, Wolves, Newcastle etc would be fine. Leeds would be tough, and the promoted clubs always tricky. No interest in Brentford away too early. Norwich though is always a good.

[Heald Green Villa]

Since we beat ManU on that opening game way back in the last decade, i think they've decreed to the PL that they must play us well into the season so that they've got games under their belt, and in a better
position to get a last minute equaliser or a win when they've come out of a bad patch. So ManU 1st game please

Not always. Baggies played Leicester last season and Sheffield United played Bournemouth year before that. Couldn't be arsed checking beyond that but I can remember us travelling to Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Stoke for their first Premier League games.

This is my annual reminder that I Was Once On The Fixtures Committee (And Therefore Know More Than Any of You).

Norwich
nailed on i reckon

[cdbearsfan]

I don't know who we will get but we are bound to be away. Including last year's scheduled Man City game which was postponed, we've been away first game in nine of the past ten years. It used to make sense that if you started away you finished at home, and vice versa, but they got rid of that rule because it was a good idea.

[Villa Lew]

Boxing Day fixtures are arranged to be as localised as possible, so a northern club will never play a southern club.

Last day of the season, the so called big '6' never play each other.

Clubs will never start the season or finish the season with 2 home games or with 2 away games.

I certainly don't want Man City. They will likely celegrate the trophy again and in front of pretty full stadium depend on how many allowed in. They will probably batter whoever they play.
