Administrator Stan Posted June 14, 2021 Administrator Posted June 14, 2021 Wednesday 16th June. 9am. Who do you want first up? Do you have a preferences for home on first day, Boxing Day, NYD, last day etc... (yes, everyone knows it doesn't really matter because you play each other twice anyway blah blah blah)

Lucas Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 That time already eh. I think it's got to be a home game to kick off the season in front of a packed crowd. Our players would absolutely buzz off that as we missed it last year. Happily take on any of the bigger clubs early when there is no form. Catch them cold hopefully, because we have been generally fast starters under Bielsa. We'll be fit and chomping at the bit. For that reason, I really don't think they would want to come here first game. Can only imagine how exciting it'll be for @Danny seeing the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, City etc amongst the fixtures for the very first time.

I’m sure you was a member of the forum back then But no, if I were to do the same again it would have to be another Premier League to League 1 “swap” like last time.

Subscriber Dan+ Posted June 14, 2021 Subscriber Posted June 14, 2021 Our last three will be Manchester United, Tottenham and Manchester City. No idea what order. Our run of hard finishes is borderline suspect.
Dave Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 Last two years we've had pretty shocking run ins after a pretty dreamy spell in February. I can't see that happening for a third year but it's helped cement Roy Hodgson with a reputation of 'safe after 30 games'. Opening Fixture: Aston Villa Boxing Day: Wolves New Years Day: Everton Brighton Bingo: November and February.
Administrator Stan Posted June 16, 2021 Author Administrator Posted June 16, 2021 Man Utd vs Leeds as an opener Leicester have Wolves at home.
Administrator Stan Posted June 16, 2021 Author Administrator Posted June 16, 2021 First games: Brentford v Arsenal Burnley v Brighton Chelsea v Crystal Palace Everton v Southampton Leicester City v Wolves Manchester United v Leeds United Newcastle United v West Ham United Norwich City v Liverpool Tottenham v Manchester City Watford v Aston Villa Nice easy start for @Danny
Administrator Stan Posted June 16, 2021 Author Administrator Posted June 16, 2021 Chelsea have Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs, Man City as 4 of their first 6 Norwich though - Liverpool, Man City, Leicester and Arsenal as their first 4.
Administrator Stan Posted June 16, 2021 Author Administrator Posted June 16, 2021 Arsenal are officially irrelevant Even Sky don't give a shit.
Rick Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 I was hoping we would get Norwich. Be nice to see the same score line as two years ago.
LFCMike Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Not a bad start, could be worse. That Christmas period will be tough. Leeds on Boxing Day followed by Leicester and Chelsea away.
Dave Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Our first 6 to 9 games look horrible. May as well get a dud appointment now to allow the real deal to take over after October.
Lucas Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Well, fuck me. What a start. I did think they would give us a big game, although not that one. No way that came out random Let's just hope away fans are allowed in as well as home in time. The fixture deserves it's audience.

Be nice to tonk them on the opening weekend to declare our title run.

In all seriousness, it's the best time for us to play them really. They have more players than us at the Euro's, they will need extended breaks andyou'd like to think eill be missing sharpness. Where as you know the way Marcelo runs us ragged in the summer, we'll not be far off the level we need to be at by the time the game comes round.
LFCMike Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Looking at the league games Mane and Salah will miss for the Africa Cup of Nations next year. They'll miss Brentford (h) and Crystal Palace (a) in January and they'll only miss Leicester at home if they reach the final. Could be worse

Let's hope for an Egypt vs Senegal final
