Crafty Canary 495 Posted June 18, 2013 I reckon it could be one of 19 clubs that we open the season against. [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Shuck 183 Posted June 19, 2013 So, thats Southampton joining Chelsea, Hull and Manchester City-any I''ve missed? We''re going to have a tough task putting out at least four sides in one day, reckon Hughton will have to name himself on the bench for one of them. And why has Rudd gone out on loan-now that Camp has gone we''ve only got three keepers with first team experience to cover four games. The deserved myth of "fixture leaks" was nicely shattered yesterday when all of those ''ITK'' (and anyone who really was ''in the know'' wouldn''t post it all over Twitter when there are lucrative deals to be done with newspapers for genuine exclusives) claims of the opening fixtures didn''t allow for the fact that the FL have paired certain games between original members of the league in the Champ plus Leagues One and Two. Infact they may even have done it for that very reason-just to show that everyone who is claiming to be in receipt of a "leak" is talking complete and utter bullshit. The fixture list is known to a very few people-the clubs hear about them prior to the release, but, again, only a few people at the club will know them before later today. No-one is going to risk their job and career in the game by securing the perceived glory of saying who we have got on the opening day when, in all honesty, knowing who we are playing in advance doesn''t actually mean anything or matter even a tiny bit, likewise signing a player-believe it when the club announce it, not until. Same reasons. If the opening game is one that someone has guessed then that is down to luck, that includes the claim on this thread-and with a diminishing odds of 1 in 19 and going down of getting it right, someone will, soon enough. I''ll guess Cardiff at home at this point-you never know. Give all of the opening day fixtures in the PL all you ITK folk in advance and I''ll be impressed. All of them. Until then keep on guessing.

spencer 1970 207 Posted June 19, 2013 With good authority and with 10 minutes to go I can assure you the first fixture will be against one of the teams we played last season (bar QPR, Reading, or Wigan), with one of the trio of Palace, Cardiff, and Hull added into the equation. It will also be either Home, or away.I''m sorry, but I can''t divulge my source, you''ll have to trust me on this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
