iggy Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 With the new fixtures due out this coming Monday, who is your money on for our first game? Having begun the season at home for the last few years I reckon this time will be an away, and I'm going for a trip to........

iggy Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Away at anfield. 3-0 with a Phil Neville hat-trick Of successful passes, forwards, to another Everton player?

Blue 250 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Well going by the three previous posts, it doesn't matter who we get....were going to win 3-0. Be nice to get a win against one of the top three out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zequist Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 A couple of unusual trends that might be worth keeping an eye on: 7 of our last 10 openers have been against teams we played within the first five games of the previous year. If that holds up, this year's opener will be against either Wigan, Tottenham, Blackburn, or Bolton. Twice in the last ten years we've opened against the same team two years in a row (ManU in '98 and '99, Arsenal in '03 and '04). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Rumours are that it's Stoke away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomness Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Rumours are that it's Stoke away i'm not sure if that would do us nicely or be a banana skin, (look at tottenham at sunderland) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 According to the leaked fixtures it's not Stoke but Blackburn at Goodison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue4Ever Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Blackburn at home is a nice 1st game imo, maybe excluding santacruz and bentley aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Blackburn at home is a nice 1st game imo, maybe excluding santacruz and bentley aswell? Followed by a trip to West Brom, back on sooner than you thought eh Baggies ? Then Pompey at home and trips to Stoke and Hull, hopefully a decent amount of points in the bag....fifteen not out of the question...before Liverpool at Goodison. Amazing to play all the promoted teams (and all away) in the first five games....although it could work against us because they'll all be still full of hope at that stage .

Randomness Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 aye but we could be the reality checkers, October is a bastard month arsenal followed by united. nice away to fulham on the lastn day, either we finally relegate them or we have to ensure our european football is secured by then. Saturday, 17 January 2009 Barclays Premier League Liverpool v Everton, 15:00 Wednesday, 28 January 2009 Barclays Premier League Everton v Arsenal, 19:45 Saturday, 31 January 2009 Barclays Premier League Man Utd v Everton, 15:00 OUCH!!

zequist Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Saturday, 17 January 2009Barclays Premier League Liverpool v Everton, 15:00 Wednesday, 28 January 2009 Barclays Premier League Everton v Arsenal, 19:45 Saturday, 31 January 2009 Barclays Premier League Man Utd v Everton, 15:00 OUCH!! I actually like it. Not only do we have the opportunity to make a statement by taking points from those games while we're still in (hopefully) our peak midseason form, we're also getting them out of the way early, which is even better. After that stretch we still have 14 games left and only one of them is against any of the "Big Four" (@Chelsea in April). If it comes down to a stretch run battle with Man City or Tottenham for fifth place (or fourth place!) and we're all close on points, I'd much rather have our schedule than theirs. Our last five: Man City, @Sunderland, Tottenham, West Ham, @Fulham Tottenham last five: @Man Utd, W. Brom, @Everton, Man City, @Liverpool Man City last five: @Everton, Blackburn, @Man Utd, @Tottenham, Bolton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
