This will be the rough draft. They always do one the day before the fixtures come out that gets leaked and then everybody sends annoying texts to everybody else about the 'inside' information and it turns out the next day we're playing somebody else.

 

Happens every year.

Not last year. I remember someone on here said we had Spurs the night before.

Obviously you'd have to consider Birmingham heavy favourites given their extra financial clout and our summer of disarray, but with our revised expectations a backs against the wall point isn't outside the realms of possibility and would represent a magnificent result when you consider how our squad is likely to look following the source of the financial help for George & Tom's (custodians) next interest payment.

If we're away first game it's an absolute joke.

 

What is it now- seven years since we last started at home?

 

At least - I know the stat was that we never had a home first game under Rafa so that's the last 6 in a row. It hardly matters but it does seem a bit odd given it should really be a 50:50 chance of being home or away.

Off the top of my head, the last one might have been Houllier's last season when we got beat 2-1 by Chelsea. I remember it was the first game after Abramovich took them over.

 

Even before then though, I can hardly recall us starting at home much.
