Following games 5 home 1 away not bad for players but it means I will have to attend loads of Sunday games this year which is not that good personally.

Yeah, but his first post was 30 min before 10.

[yasik19]

piece of cake. Just hand the title to us now.:D

Last year, we went to Anfield, Old Trafford, and the Emirates all before Christmas. This year it's the reverse. Home to all three in the first round, some very tough away games in the second.

This is the first thing I looked for when it came out. Tough stuff. We'll be up for it though!

[L.G.S]

When will we not play the likes of Arse and Man Utd in the final 5 games?

[cooldude]

Yeah. Again, we have a pretty bad set of matches in the end.

Damm i hope arsenal away isnt the decider when the season progresses. I would actually like us to build on quite a lead so that most of the big games are redundant in the 2nd half of the season.

Still quite optimistic.

P.S : Does anybody else feel we will lose a game at the bridge this year? Mourinho's invincibility finally being broken? Because Scolari isnt known to be keen on defense too much.

Here is what you call extreme boredom. And a little thing I call: Fun With The Fixture List (http://theshedend.org/?p=6).

If Grant can do it, Scolari can too.

I like the idea of having an easy start. If the team is really gonna change its style and get some new face in, it will take them some time to get into it. An adjustment period will do the team a world of good and getting to see the big other 2 plus pool at home first will allow for an easing period for the new guys into those big games. I like it. A lot.

Ya man thats what I'm talking about, that kinda start will do wonders for the team's confidence, both in terms of how they play together and how the media views the team.

I think there is a definte sentiment in the media at large that Chelsea were voerachievers last year and are not worth of the their "second best team in the world" title, and see Man United as by far the best in the world despite how close things were. A strong start will put a lot of that ot bed quickly.

Blasphemy, United is wayyy better than us, and destroyed us 10-0 in the CL final, and beat us by 10000 points in the Prem.

:rolleyes::p:D

I hate the United biased press...
