The most exciting day of the off season is nearly upon us. Who will we get opening day? I'm going for Man Utd away.
Also we must be due an announcement on memberships.

Villa away.
-
Don't care who we get as long as we're away, on account of me being on holiday on opening day.
-
It’s going to be something truly meh. Luton away.
-
Liverpool always get the shit promoted team first up
Ours will be some game nobody wants that we'll struggle with like Wolves away
-
Only started one of the last five seasons at home, so it’ll be at home. None of the big 7 played each other on the opening day last season, so I’m guessing that’s intentional, which gives us a 37% chance of one of them. Let’s say Man United.
-
Aren’t Luton playing their first few games away, while they get their ground to the minimum level?
(If not, it would be an awful game to start with. Let’s play them once they’ve had their initial enthusiasm knocked out of them a bit - home game in November, away in March, please.)
-
Good calls, according to the leaked fixtures.
Though I don't think the leak is ever right.
-
Thought Luton had to play away first game out?
And it’s weird for the post, who presumably have the embargoed fixtures, to report on the leak. If they were right, wouldn’t they be breaching the embargo?
-
Wait. Sheff Undead are in the mix aren't they? I'd forgotten. It'll be them then.
At homo.
-
Nah, closest thing to a local derby. They don’t put them in the first game.
-
Up the Arse it is.
-
Maybe not. I saw a ‘itk leak’ not the actual list.
Nonetheless I choose to believe in a bit of Arse leakage.
-
Indeed
-
A actual leak, well done!
Five of the first six aways v Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea, ManCity and Liverpool is painful but gets them out of the way, I suppose and the home games are more favourable with the first big 7s at home not until Spurs in mid-December.
Means we need to be well clear of trouble by Christmas.
-
So we start and finish away. Like last season.
Five of the first six aways v Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea, Citeh and Liverpool, so likely to be zero points, which allows the whole 'Forest are shocking away' narrative to build in the meeja (and players' heads). It's pretty fcukin shit tbh.
