the fa have a problem

[Plain Speaking]

Serious point though, I know Fergie said in the past he was going to send representatives around to check the process. The fixtures are formulated at a firm in Bolton called "Atos Origin" the BBC's paul Fletcher looked into it in 2009:

As with any computer programme it depends what constraints you put in. However for the last 4 years we have had an away fixture to start and finish our season whilst United have "easy" home fixtures. We need to have this changed and someone at the club or FA needs to address this!

The champions always play their first game at home I think, so we'll be away again next season.

All well and good but City were away for the Three best dates of the season IE first and last day and BOXING DAY! this definitely needs sorting

I think you are just making excuses there's no such rule but Fergie likes to control his fixtures as well as referees and everything else in football.

just to be pedantic. the fa, & therefore david bernstein, has nothing to do with fixtures. that's all done by the premier league.

Isn't that Joey Barton on the left? So not content with taking all the free-kicks and corners he also even sorts out the fixtures.

I'm not sure where to check it out?
Every season I can remember they also have the last game at home is there a PL rule for this too?

I thought Sky did the fixture list.
