Any thoughts or matches in particular that catch your eye? I can't wait for the season to start!!

 

RE: Fulham

You stayed up for that!

Good man... or insane, depending on your schedule for today.

 

Re: RE: Fulham

I woke up a little early to check it out. I went back to bed afterwards. However, I could not sleep much. Needless to say, I am excited about the season starting. Too bad we have to wait 51 more days.

 

RE: Re: RE: Fulham

It's a good schedule, I think:

* Starts at home against a very beatable Birmingham and then Blackburn before the trip to Highbury. A good start was the key to the 2003-04 season.

* Two games out of three in October against MU and Liverpool, but they're both at home

* The same thing in March with Arsenal and Chelsea, two out of three games but both at home. This time, the in-between game is away at Everton, but I think Everton will not be that good and if they are not, this would be a good game to have in between Arsenal and Chelsea.

* The trip to MU is three days after a home fixture versus Spurs, so if they win that game as they should, it provides momentum going into Old Trafford

Tom, I was impressed with I got up at 6 this AM and looked for the fixture list that you had already posted!

Re: RE: Re: RE: Fulham

I am tentatively planning to go to these two games. Flights are much cheaper in February and I can get to two matches in one trip. I am hoping to see two wins!

 

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Fulham

That's a brutal March.

I guess the good news is that the really tough games are somewhat spread out between winable games.

I do like April though!!
