thaimiller Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 The fixtures come out very soon and I was wondering which teams you look forward to playing or look for first. When I was back in the UK watching Rotherham, I always looked for the boxing day and easter monday fixtures and hoped we got an away day on at least one of them, I also used to look at the local derbys, at the time we used to be in the Championship, same League as the Blades, the Owls and barnsley so they were the ones I looked for first, now unfortunatley its Chesterfield and Bradford.

I know they are advertising a match(think its a friendly though) along with the England world cup qualifiers, not sure if the tourament is on yet, we have a good side, stuart pearce has done a great job, saying that if they don't listen to pyscho who will they listen to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastSaxCol Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Always look for the ones that I have no chance of going to. That is, the games that are played when I'm over in Thailand. Which is a fair chunk of them as it goes. Decisions. Decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkjames Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I like to think I am pretty dedicated football follower but knowing that we will play each side home and away next year is enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbojangles Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) I always look to make sure we are still in the Premiership and not been relegated by mistake After that, i look to see when we are gonna play the RAG's home and away. Then the first few games come in to play. No disrespect to any team and no team is easy but if you have a few, what you could call "easier" games at the start of the season it helps to get on a roll and into a winning mindset. For instance, any team having to play Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United as their opening 4 games, wouldn't be coming out of the other side of those games with too many points.

Well I guess that you'll just have to do with a Newcastle supporter as manager. Not that I'm one for conspiracy theories - might be a few around at the end of the next season though.

Spit the Dog Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I bet we're at OT first off... You don't won't that one. In the last 2 season both Reading and Newcastle went to Old Trafford first game and got draws. They then both got relegated. If that's the way things will go then I'll have a few quid on Man Utd's first home opponent to be relegated. I really hope it's Sunderland.
