Fixtures - Southampton at home first

[Matty]

That run in looks to have been kind to us, West Brom, West Ham, Reading, Norwich and Swansea as 5 of our last 6 fixtures.

Typically though we've got both Liverpool and Chelsea at home during the African Cup of Nations so without Toure.

Think he might have option of not going

It depends how "hard line" the Ivory Coast FA want to be with him. The World Cup is less than 18 months off at that point, if they threaten their players with non-selection for that I'd imagine all will fall in line and show up for the ACON in February.

start and finish at home! nice last month, it all looks ok at the min but throw in champions league, potential fa cup and carling cup games and it could look a lot more hectic

 

[CHAMPIONS 12]

Home on last day

November and December look tricky

 

[kunaguero10]

can't have any complaints really, run in is good, christmas period is good.

has anyone worked out which games are likely to be after champions league group games? they were all away before IIRC

 

[kbb]

Other than 2 long trips Xmas week the only bad news is QPR away on a midweek night.

Anyone know whether the 6 April fixture at Old Trafford coincides withan FA Cup weekend so that they can rearrange it for last midweek of the season?

Pretty sure toure has already said he is not going this season?
