bannedfromHandV Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 at least we might actually win a game or two over christmas period for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I think it's a good start - it gets them out the way early. Not to mention our Xmas/New Year period has pretty nice fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raver50032 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 If I see a fooking relegation thread before ten games are played I swear I will swing for someone Well it won't be started me... i have high confidence we'll be okay... But you just know someone will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 isnt the chelsea game being moved because of the super cup? draw v arsenal end liverpools title hopes beat newcastle beat norwich id take that, we can pick up 5-10 points before playing city IMO It will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 god the first three games, ridiculous at least we get the annual chelsea spankfest out of the way early Annual spankfest? Really, we got done heavily last season. It's never happened before and have a pretty good record against Chelsea in the PL era. Ummmmm, it has happened before......under O'Neill they beat us 7-1 but yes, generally speaking we either tend to do well against them or get spanked, there's little middle ground it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'd love us to get 3 points out of liverpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm happy with out Christmas period. No Chelsea/ Arsenal/ Spurs games in the space of a week like usual! The start is okay. It could be good to play the better teams when the league is so uncertain and whilst teams are still getting into their stride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMushroom Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Well, I'm glad we got our new players in early! Im still of the opinion that we will need to bring in some better quality, and these fixtures just emphasize it. The players brought in will help competition within the squad, but we just dont know how they will fit in or settle just yet. Im pretty sure we will be adding that quality in the next couple of months once we have shifted some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath182 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Personally speaking this fixture list isn't great. I'll definitely miss three games and with Sky's inevitable fudging around of the fixtures I'll probably miss more. Great stuff. But for the team I think we're better off getting the hard fixtures out of the way first, so probably works in our favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal date is wrong (17th not 16th). All others are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmarsha_926 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Chelsea are in the Super Cup on the 30th August so you can postpone that straight away, So the fisrt 6 are now not that bad. Plus Suarez is out of the Liverpool game if he stays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm pretty sure people saying Chelsea game being moved due to Super Cup are correct. Can someone definitively confirm it though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmarsha_926 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Well the Super Cup is 30th August and we play them on August 31st, So unless they play 2 games in 2 days, it will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 In the last 4 seasons we've lost to Chelsea away 7-1 and 8-0 but also beaten them 3-1 and drawn 3-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Yeah 30th August means defo rescheduled. Away to Arsenal and home to Liverpool then 2 week break, for postponed match and international fixtures. Don't know if this is good or bad. But Lambert can see how we've done in two tough matches and work on stuff in training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 What a **** dreadful start. you have to play everybody and rather play 2 of top 4 away before they have gelled their squad and also some players wont have a full pre-season as in Confederations Cup and also in Arsenal case Champions League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
