Fox92 Posted 8 June 2019 Posted 8 June 2019 Just now, AKCJ said: Everyone will want Brighton at home first. Probably the easiest 3 points. Yeah but I said it first.
smitha Posted 8 June 2019 Posted 8 June 2019 Past 3 seasons the first two fixtures have been against a top six side and a promoted side, will probably be the same. The last home opening game was against Sunderland and we all know how that ended
Footballwipe Posted 8 June 2019 Posted 8 June 2019 Definitely due a home game on opening day, surely. Really hope it's not a really good away game as that's not ideal. Here's the statutory list of our opening games in our PL history: 94-95- Newcastle (H) L 1-3 96-97- Sunderland (A) D 0-0 97-98- Aston Villa (H) W 1-0 89-99- Man Utd (A) D 2-2 99-00- Arsenal (A) L 1-2 00-01- Aston Villa (H) D 0-0 01-02- Bolton (H) L 0-5 03-04- Southampton (H) D 2-2 14-15- Everton (H) D 2-2 15-16- Sunderland (H) W 4-2 16-17- Hull (A) L 1-2 Sky 17-18- Arsenal (A) L 3-4 Sky 18-19- Man Utd (A) L 1-2 Sky
Dan Posted 8 June 2019 Posted 8 June 2019 2 wins out of 12 I always had us down as having a decent first day record as well.
David Hankey Posted 8 June 2019 Posted 8 June 2019 Man City at home. 3-0 win, Vardy brace and Maddison free kick from 26 yards. Happy days!!

I remember the mauling by Bolton but look where they are now.
Stadt Posted 8 June 2019 Posted 8 June 2019 Bournemouth home, we’ve got the monkey off our back now so hopefully we can dispatch those retards to get 3 easy points

Also Amazon to televise games too Forgot about this do we know what weekends they are in February yet
Floridafox Posted 8 June 2019 Posted 8 June 2019 Yes, Southampton or Watford at home at 3pm, quietly going about an opening win. Would also like Man Utd reasonably early in the season, before they sack Ole and start playing well

Saturday at 3pm would be nice. 6 hours ago, winteriscoming said: Imo the best time to play any of the rest of the top 6 is early in the season. I wouldn’t mind 1 of them at home first up. Obviously it would mean the fixture moving for tv. 6 hours ago, TK95 said: You can guarantee it'll be one of the rest of the top 6 club away and we'll begin the season on a Friday night and lose for the third year in a row Edit: With Jamie Carragher co-commentator 4 hours ago, smitha said: Past 3 seasons the first two fixtures have been against rest of the top six side and a promoted side, will probably be the same.

Aus Fox Posted 9 June 2019 Posted 9 June 2019 Wolves at home after they travelled a couple of times to the arse end of nowhere in the Europa League qualifying would be ideal. Get a win on the board and take some points from a rival.
Corky Posted 9 June 2019 Posted 9 June 2019 12 hours ago, Dan LCFC said: 2 wins out of 12 I always had us down as having a decent first day record as well. We were a newly promoted team for four of those games and at least 7 were against sides who'd finished in the top five the previous season. The worst ones were obviously Bolton and Hull but that Southampton match was a serious let-down in a different way.
norwichfox Posted 9 June 2019 Posted 9 June 2019 1 of 3 promoted teams, probably a 1-0 loss given our last 3 first fixture of the season...we're in the habit.

Also all ten fixtures will be televised over the two weekends. Also means FA Cup 5th round will move to midweek with no replays.
ThaiFox Posted 9 June 2019 Posted 9 June 2019 I'd go for Arsenal at home. I think they are in a transitional period and it would be a good time to get them. They were very poor away from home last season and I don't see this changing unless they spend huge money on world class signings. Brighton might be much tougher than we think with a new manager bounce. Bournemouth are too unpredictable. Newcastle might be a good first game draw if Rafa leaves. I don't want a promoted side, but if we draw one, I'd prefer Villa.
Grebfromgrebland Posted 9 June 2019 Posted 9 June 2019 About time we could just buy a pass and watch any game online legally like in other countries. The argument that attendances would fall doesn't stand up any more. Anyone who wants to watch the game will find a way so why not charge us and give it to us in HD /4k. We are getting there just really slowly by adding a few games a season.
mazarron fox Posted 9 June 2019 Posted 9 June 2019 I live in Spain and DAZN are showing every premier league game live for €4.99 month so Iv got that happy days.
murphy Posted 9 June 2019 Posted 9 June 2019 Palace at home please. I can't rest until we beat them and beat them well.

Its all midweek games in early December and all the Boxing Day fixtures. Then the other two rounds of midweek fixtures are all televised on BT
