I think he means that even when Chelsea were Champions, United were still at home on the first day.Pigeonho said:How can it be a fix? If they win the league we HAVE to be away, that's not a fix, it's just the way it is.the goats backside said:The winners of the league are always at home first game the following season but what really gets me is how on many an occasion when this has happened they have been at home last game also, that is a fix it means we have had seasons where our first and last games we have been away
Gingers Dad said:Fair enough if we made the request to be away but we should have got the last game at home instead.
Well DD, and don't tell anyone this, I have it on good authority that when it's Fergie's swansong season, the PL are going to give him a 10 point head start, plus the permitted use of a 12th man, quite simply as a gesture of his services to the Premier League since it began. It's a disgwace!!!Didsbury Dave said:Pigeonho said:The computer drew them at home first then on those occasions. It's a 2 horse race at the end of the day, not like its a one in ten chance they would be at home, it's simply 50/50. I could toss a coin now and it could land on heads 6 times in a row. It wouldn't be shocking if that happened, it's just how 50/50 works.SWP's back said:They were not Champions each of the last 6 years that they have played home 1st game.
Pidge, will you stop using boring old logic. Cant you see whats staring you in the face?
Look hard at last year's fixture program. We played Chelsea 5 times, all away and Arsenal 4 times , 3 times away.
Man United didn't have to play Chelsea at all and got Blackburn 5 times and Wigan six times. All at home.
What a lot of people don't realise is that United actually lost the title to Chelsea but the FA purposely added 4 points for United and noone noticed.
Rags, the fucking lot of them. The whole fucking world. Everyone.
11 days time.cibaman said:When are the official fixtures due to be published?
SWP's back said:Pigeonho said:That's cos they're the Champions. The Champions begin at home first, so I believe anyway.meeesh said:Them bastards will be at home.......again...probably err lets see.........Swansea,err no err QPR,er no fuck it it will be like home from home for the away fans....NORWICH !!!!!!
We will get Arsenal away, Spurs away, United away, Liverpool away, Chelsea away and then a combination of all 5 of them at the same time, again it will be away. Infact we aren't home until January.
They were not Champions each of the last 6 years that they have played home 1st game.
Well no not really, as it was our choice to not play at home first because we failed to have CS ready on time.Gingers Dad said:Fair enough if we made the request to be away but we should have got the last game at home instead.Pigeonho said:Prestwich Blue has already said we had first home game, but refused it due to City Square. If we had taken that first home game, United would have been away. Makes sense to me.Gingers Dad said:Do you know why Utd were at home for the first and last games of last season?
Cheers. No conspiracy then, that's not good newsGary James said:Gingers Dad said:Fair enough if we made the request to be away but we should have got the last game at home instead.
No, because we wanted to stage the Wimbledon-Luton play off that weekend. That must have been planned the previous close season.
That must have been on the part of the memo that was burnt off by the time I got it. Did your memo also say about the plan the PL have to have a dastardly electrician rig our flood lights for night matches? Mine did. It said that he will flick the switch on and off, with a comical, yet evil look on his face. Another 10 points deducted it said...Didsbury Dave said:I've heard that Pidge, too, but I heard that the 10 points they are being given will be taken from us.
And they get to provide the referees too.
