2023/24 Fixtures

[LeeB]

Every game at the start of each month is away from home

Typical of PL, never ever want us to have a home game to start the month. I am fed up with it.

I'd heard we'd requested it for some reason

[SoccerHQ]

Is it me, or do we have a tricky start and a tricky run-in?

I know you have to play everyone at some stage, but it does feel that way.

Just had a look at Everton's run of games. No wonder they never get relegated....

First 5 games:

Fulham home, us away, Wolves home, Sheffield United away, Arsenal home

Last 5:

Forest home, Brentford home, Luton away, Sheffield United home, Arsenal away.

So, first game of the season away. Three out of the first four games away. Last game of the season away. Boxing Day game away. How does that work then?

Bastards, have it in for us😡

17:30 KO

I know people joke, but they definitely have rigged it to make it really difficult for us to progress. If you look carefully at the fixtures, you'll find that absolutely all of our league matches this season are against top flight opposition. That doesn't happen by accident.

Just to add the Newcastle game has been moved to 5.30pm so presumably we are on tv.

Looks to me like the Sky fuckers are worried about us joining their precious clan and have hand selected fixtures to keep us at bay.  Won’t work, we’ve got Unai! Muhahaha!!!

So what? Everyone plays everyone home and away. You don’t get more points for wins in the first 5 or last 5. And anyway they play 2 off last years top 7 in their first 5, and two of last years top 9 in their last 5, so not ridiculous.

Be a cracking away day up there in August. Bring every last fucker on, couldn't careless who we play or when, this is a new Villa.

That is a totally out of character post for you. Normally you are the epitome  of pessimism.😊

What do you mean? We play everyone. I think we asked for our first game to be away.

It might actually be because of the events over the summer and needing a bit of extra time for the pitch to be at its best.

Isn't it because of the pitch after all the summer entertainment on it?

And Brooooce.

Newcastle have a pretty tricky start as well. First 4 games are Us (H), Man City (A), Liverpool (H) and Brighton (A).

[darren woolley]

It could have been worse I reckon we can get nine points from our first three games.
