Newcastle (h)
Fulham (h)

I'm not underestimating any of those sides, but you seriously consider that run of games to be "a very tough start"?

Was thinking exactly the same. Have we ever had an easier start?

Their are no easy games in the prem. I never assume anything.

The spice epidemic in Manchester is worse than I thought.

My eyes were painful after reading that. They won’t beat one of our records.

You didn't answer the question.

The 3 promoted sides especially as our late returnees probably will need a game or 2 to get up to speed. Arsenal as well with a full squad that have game time in their legs

FWIW I think Liverpool will be the main challengers, but you're saying that only us will have reversals in our games ?

Last Season we were 25 points ahead of them. Can we reach such heights again?? I think 90-92 points is a tough but more realistic (and great) target for us .That means Liverpool need to improve by 15-17 points to be up there as well. The issue is whether their acquisitions can achieve that. I personally think they might get close.

Arsenal will be tricky; I'd nearly take a draw right now. But I'd be disappointed if we dropped 4 points from the other 6 games. No top 4 side in our first 7 games. If we were to handpick our opening fixtures, we couldn't really have come up with a kinder set of games.

I hope you are right. Playing newly promoted sides early on when they are bubbling with excitement and enthusiasm at being in the prem is probably the worst time to play them.
