I don't think we have had many home game openers in the last twenty year (explanation re pitch accepted). Scouse bastards FIVE seasons running against promoted teams is a bit harder to explain in my opinion.

I love the fact that Liverpool at home is on April Fool’s Day!!!



I know, I know, small things amuse small minds. ;-)

It's right after the stupid international break ... not sure I like them games right after int'l breaks. We also have United (H) after the Sept break and Leeds (A) after the World Cup break!

Every year we get people claiming it's bent, but it doesn't really make any sense. It's annoying to be away first and last game, but it really doesn't make any difference over the course of a season.

Having a tough first away game, especially after a WC or Euros, is potentially a major disadvantage. We’ve had Arsenal, Wolves, Spurs and now West Ham away the last 4 years. We’ve done incredibly well to win 3/4 but last season we basically had to win the league over 37 games since our team wasn’t ready for such a big game early on with players only just back in training.

When you look at the opening games our title rivals start with by comparison then it does give them a potential advantage on the starting line.

I’m not claiming conspiracy but that’s certainly very bad luck and good luck for our rivals 4 years in a row.

It weird how a set of 38 games can immediately be labelled as bent.

The only time of the season where it really matters is the games around the semi finals of the CL and FA cup, if we’re still in all comps.

The rest of the time, we play every 3 days anyway.

We’re generally better away from home these days too.

It‘s hard to understand why anyone would get angry about a set of fixtures.

I've seen some ludicrous comments on here this morning. "Random, my arse" and "bent as fuck" are two that stuck in my mind. I'd love to see their theories on Kennedy's assassination, or the disappearances of Lord Lucan and Shergar.
 
Happy with them fixtures’ only one that stands out to me is Chelsea 2nd to last game season , and after champs league semi 2nd leg . But it’s our last home game so bring it on

Promoted team away is absolutely the last fixture I’d want as an opener.

I have a confession to make that will probably get me thrown out of BlueMoon (please vote against!) ….
I very, very rarely know anything about any other team/games other than City!
I had completely forgotten about International breaks, silly little World Cup games, even (& this will seal my fate) those European matches that we play in!!

It’s a mortal sin I know…. But that’s life!! ;-) ;-) :-) :-)

I know.
I read some of the posts and thought fcuk me, we must be playing Liverpool away every week.
Imagine my surprise that on checking we actually play every side twice, i was shocked i tell you

So you’re saying we’re playing all 19 teams both home and way ? Well that’s come as a surprise ;-)

I suppose it’s only natural given that we start and end away and have Boxing Day away. Meanwhile, our likely biggest rivals Liverpool, start and end away and have Boxing Day away. If that doesn’t prove it’s fixed, nothing will…..

I mean, how are we supposed to win the league when we’re told to play away on Boxing Day?

Spurs last season is the only time it's really impacted us though, and we always lose there anyway. Besides, the stronger the opposition the more likely they are to also be impacted by any summer tournaments surely?

No idea why people even think they’re random. It’s not a cup competition and there’s huge amounts of other ‘stuff’ to take into consideration, which dictates certain dates/fixtures and certainly disallows others. Also, I bet it’s a bloody nightmare to organise.

Plus Dippers get a promoted team for the 5th time on the bounce for the Opener and as usual we get 2 out of 3 away games over Christmas/New Year

One of the toughest games to open without being too obvious.

Random, my fucking arse.

LMFAO,
Liverpool's first 5 away games are Fulham, United, Everton, Chelsea, and Arsenal.
If you look dep enough you could make a case for everybody's fixtures being rigged!

"One of the toughest games to open without being too obvious." WTF!
