2009/2010 UK Football Season Thread

charliepanayi · 06-17-2009, 11:28 AM

So thought I'd start up a thread for the new season since the fixtures are out today - and here they are!

BBC SPORT | Football | Premier League | Fixtures

Man Utd away at the end of August

Everton away is a tough opener too.

I do love our end of January/early February games: Villa, Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea (!)

So, thoughts for next season? Will Man Utd become the first team ever to make it four in a row?

Nice easy opening for Chelsea.

Nice to see Arsenal have it hard.

I think I have more reason to be worried about the opening fixture than you, charliepanayi!

They'll all get shafted around half a dozen times before the season is done anyway, what with the cups and Europe and all.

Yeah but we're only talking moving games to a Sunday/Saturday evening/Monday evening on the same weekend etc for the first six to seven months of the season, drastic schedule changes don't really happen until April-May when the latter stages of the FA Cup and European Cup come into play.

Heath - we're terrible at Goodison Park in recent years. Aside from two years ago when we won 4-1 we don't do too well there lately.

Nah, I found our games in hand would last for weeks on end, not the same week. I think they do it that way so fans have time to reschedule their travelling arrangements etc.

I will make my opening post to this thread with a question.

Which news story is funniest?

Rio Ferdinand emulates Ronaldo in hotpants - Telegraph

or

Michael Owen Sends Out Player â€˜Brochureâ€™ To Clubs - Report - Goal.com

hahahahahahahaha

Heath · 06-17-2009, 02:38 PM

Actually you just reminded me. And during that 4-1 we comprehensively outplayed you in the first half and were 1-0 up at half time. Perhaps I should be a little more optimistic!

Edit:

The Newcastle United forward is out of contract at St James’ Park and has been linked with several sides, including Aston Villa and Everton.

Instantly makes the Ferdinand story funnier.
