jamiemaher85 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I hope we're at home for the first game of the season, that's all I want. TBH I would prefer last game of season at home. Always good to finish at home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest efctaxi Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 United often go missing at the start of the season , but not sure about the first game . Anyone fancy City ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regulator Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I'd wanna play away to be honest, someone like bolton or birmingham, who we know we can beat with confidence. Plus last season Blackburn beat us at home first game so i'd rather our chances away, considering blackburn are shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zequist Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) I want to go to Emirates or Old Trafford for the first game of the season and just get it the f*** over with. Besides, it seems like those big teams have gotten off to sort-of slow starts a LOT in the last few years, and it's not until a few weeks in that they start getting warmed up and steamrollering people (wasn't Man U somewhere near the relegation zone for the first few weeks of this past season?). So since we have to make those road trips at some point in the season anyway, why not get at least one of them out of the way early when the giants might not be totally awake yet? If not one of those two, then yeah, let's play at Eastlands right off so that we can stomp them before all the superstar players they buy this summer have had a chance to jell.

Lowensda Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Might be good to stick a few goals past Lescott first game and show him what he's missin lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 the promoted teams are up in the first few games so hopefully u can avoid them... It was the seven points we picked up at the promoted teams in the first six games last year that gave us slight respectability at the start of the season (although looking at it in retrospect it was a good return, don't think many other teams picked up that many points from those trips). I'd go for either a tough away game ("big four") to catch them cold or an easy home game. Avoid the other members of the supposed "next biggest four," City, Spurs and Villa.

Agree with you Mig-man....one of them will get off to a flyer, they always do. hopefully its us, but i can see it been spurs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 fulham home, we always win Things are changing now though! We beat them away, anything could happen. Hull at home would be one of the easiest ties I would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexKing Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) Im also on that side who wants 1 of big four at away, right of the start. COuple of seasons manu have started really badly, may be we would finally win there. Thats would also be so massive boost for team and whole season. If lose there, so what, nothing abysmal happened, been there done that lol, it would be a win win situation Edited June 9, 2009 by LexKing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest efctaxi Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 If we did get Liverpool at the first match , it would see them hit the ground all guns and blazing I think if they beat us , and vice versa . There's nothing like a derby to put teams in a positive frame of mind . Lose however .......................... Too big a psychological risk for either team .

thebluenose Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Burnley i hope so, my grandad is a burnley supporter and my dad and i would like to take him to a game so itl be great if the first game would be against burnley, preferably at turf moor coz my grandad isnt as mobile as he once was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beard Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Chelsea away, to exact some swift revenge. p.s. Can anyone set up a vote for who they think we will play on the first game of the season. That isn't as silly as it sounds because the bookies will actually let you lay a bet on something like that with all teams having the same odds. For some reason I think it will be Arsenal away.

BLUE-TAC Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 For the 1st match, I wouldve liked to play man utd.......in the charity bloody shield! I'd settle for a mid-table team (so Man City)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
