Great article HH, theres a bit more to it than the FA cup draw. Interesting to find out what really goes on.

Yeah it was, cheers HH. Maybe Fergusson needs to read it, instead of believing the whole world is plotting against Man United.

Oh and only about four and a half hors to go boys. :)

From the BBC:-

Manchester United will begin the defence of their Premier League title at home to newly promoted Birmingham.

Carlo Ancelotti's first game in charge at Chelsea will be against Hull at Stamford Bridge as the campaign gets under way on the weekend of August 15.

Liverpool open at Tottenham while Arsenal face Everton at Goodison Park.

Wolves play West Ham at Molineux and Burnley visit Stoke on their return to the top flight before facing Manchester United at Turf Moor 18 August.

Big-spending Manchester City make the journey to Blackburn on the opening day before hosting Everton at Eastlands on 19 August.

New Wigan boss Roberto Martinez starts his reign at Aston Villa, while Bolton are at home to Steve Bruce's Sunderland and Portsmouth meet Fulham at Fratton Park.

Paul Fletcher's blog

Putting the fixture list together is incredibly complex - with a whole series of factors ensuring it is an increasingly difficult task

Paul Fletcher

Manchester United have to wait until the end of the month before they play one of the top four clubs as they take on Arsenal at Old Trafford on 29 August, with the return fixture at the Emirates on 30 January.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side visit Anfield to play Liverpool on 24 October and last season's runners-up are at Old Trafford on 20 March. Chelsea are the last of the other top four sides to face United when they play the champions at Stamford Bridge on 7 November, with the return fixture on 3 April.

Last season's losing Champions League finalists close the season at home to Stoke on 9 May, while Liverpool finish their season at Hull on 9 May.

Liverpool visit Stamford Bridge on October 3, while Chelsea travel to Anfield on 1 May.

Wolves fans will be looking forward to a December 15 trip to Old Trafford to play Manchester United and a home fixture against the champions on March 6, while fellow top-flight newcomers Birmingham play the champions at St Andrews on 9 January.

heard an interesting stat on first day fixtures yesterday:

man united have had a home match 10 times out of the last 12 seasons.

last time liverpool were at home the first day of the season was 2002, and that was bloody chelsea!

they are completely random though of course. :)

fuc_king hopefully. pressure he puts on everybody in the game is enormous. he started it all again last week int he charity shield, berating the referee at the end. guarantee they'll get a big dodgy decision in their favour against birmingham.

bit early in the year to start blaming everyone for our success - or is this just a carry-over from last year, and the year before that?

Dont worry james they are getting there excuses in early.

Scousers blaming everyone else but themselves for not winning the league for 20 years whats new.

We all have to play the same 38 games and as redrus said we are dreadfull starters maybe if we played chelsea away first game get a hard one out of the way when we are not playing well we might win by more points.

How many games did liverpool end up playing against 10 men last season?
