nijinsky's fetlocks said:Blue Mooner said:Does anyone really believe that these fixtures 'randomly' come out of the fixture computer?
Yes - mainly because they do, and because I'm not a conspiracy theory nutjob who sees a pro-rag agenda behind every single decision.
Personally I reckon the way the fixtures fall is an ideal opportunity to lay down a marker as to our intent, and hopefully make a better start to the campaign than we did last season, so we're not playing catch up.
But at least it gives the usual suspects a flimsy excuse should we fail to start well.

The rags requested us, we didn't object. Think it was Bernstein who confirmed this.
Clubs can make representations regarding fixtures and their timing, whether they are accepted is, I suspect, dependent on who you are.

so not random after all.
why would the rags ask and moreso why the fuck would we accept?
