Im sure i read somewhere that there are certain groups of fixtures that cant be on the first game of the season (city v united, lpool v united etc). Also like you say, groups of local derbys always fall on the same weekend and normally just before xmas a certain blackbuster set of fixtures always seems to occur. Random my arse.

I'm expecting the random fixture generating programme to throw up Liverpool v City last week in April.

Not sure how “random” they are now but a true story is that 25 years or so a work colleague of mine was getting married mid season. He was a Burnley fan and he knew the guy who did the fixtures. He asked him to sort it and sure enough on his honeymoon they had something like Plymouth and Exeter away - neither of which he wanted to go to. Can’t see it being that easy nowRandom fixtures my arse. Sky / BT will ask for a weekend where coincidentally the two of the Manchester, North London, Merseyside derbies are played if not all three, City to be away first and last game of the season and Norwich away over Xmas with limited transport. They will then cause havoc with the fixtures by changing Newcastle away at Bournemouth to a Monday night, Newcastle away to Norwich on a Friday night and moving our games to give us the least amount of recovery time before CL games and we will all roll over and have our tummies tickled

First game against them will definitely be near a CL fixture in the fall and then yeah I think you're bang on about the second, although the league may know that looks obvious and put it in early April instead.
I just want the last game to be at home. In the last four seasons we've finished the league away from the Etihad every time and only had a home game to open the season once in that time. We're due.

Can almost bet your house on it being in the last 5 games and almost certainly at Anfield.

No way you have watched City on 80 different grounds that have been demolished, my total is 22.I got up to over 80, then they started moving, and with the end of 're election , I gave up.
