Manchester United aren't even a proper "United". They've two clubs in their city, how's that "United"?
If saying "Manchester" first is too much of an effort, just call them "Man U" as we did throughout the 90s and 00s.

Brighton's and Hove ua have changed the October half term from 1 week to 2 and therefore it's holiday out of the country for at least a week of it. We will be booking after our summer holiday so I hope we will know by the end of Aug which ones will be changed in October.......

New FOREIGN keeper in goal for City. Won't speak the language. Won't know his defence well. Won't like the ball lobbed on top of him. WIll panic at corners.
John Stones is there to be got at. He fell over twice last night when turned. AK will have a FIELD DAY.
Two new wing backs are likely to be deployed by pep. Jamie Murphys direct running will have them panicking.
Yaya's legs have GONE. Pascal Gross will be a free man, gliding into space able to test his luck against the NOVICE in goal.
David Silva may think he's a clever little sod but DALE will put a REDUCER on him nice and early. Welcome to the AMEX you floppy haired Spanish poodle.
Sergio Aguero? Gabriel Jesus? Leroy Sane? Don't make me laugh. DUFFMEISTER and DUNKATHON are going to be LAUGHING when your fancy little stepovers get CRUNCHED by PROPER FOOTBALLERS.
And Pep? You think you can outsmart Chris? Really? Ever heard of COUNTER ATTACK? Press all you like mate. We've got you.
or we are going to lose 4-0.

I think when you play teams is important, but each club's ambitions would be better helped by different permutations.
I want a nigh impossible game to start with like Chelsea away, give the lads a shock and then on to some tricky fixtures where we could get some points like West Brom at home, Bournemouth away. I want easier fixtures over Christmas, hopefully geographically close to the last Burnley, Huddersfield away and three home fixtures. I want a run in against sides who're likely to be safe, but unlikely to get Europe, West Brom, Watford, Southampton and that lot.
I want to meet the big clubs just before or just after a European games.
As it stands we (Newcastle) have a decent start to the season but a bitch of a December and not a great run in.
Forgot to say, for teams aiming for midtable obscurity, like Bournemouth, packing all the tough games at the end of the season is perfect. Race to 40pts, then down tools, as Pulis does every season.

You wanted all the difficult games before 31st August! I think you had two hopes of getting that!

To be fair, I can't see one easy game in that list...but that is what it is all about. If you were pessimistic you would question where the points are going to come from, optimistic you would be looking at winning most of your home games and snatching an occasional win away.....it's going to be vital we get points at home ( no shit Sherlock)

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
Sheffield United FC were formed as an offshoot of Sheffield United Cricket Club - which were the first sports club to be called 'United' as they included the amalgamation of several Cricket Clubs, including the Wednesday Cricket Club.
Dundee United were originally formed as Dundee Hibernian but changed their name to 'widen their appeal'.
Hi all, Leicester fan in peace here.
Just wanted to wish you all the best for the upcoming season! Buzzing for our home game against you. Looking forward to seeing Knocky back at the KP, love that guy!
Hope you stay up and don't see any reason why you shouldn't. Also if we don't want Ulloa anymore would you take him back?

Premier League.... It's all a state of mind! We're going to be just fine *bites nails 
'Coming off, number 33 Gabriel Jesus'
'WHO?
'And coming on, number 10 Sergio Aguero'
'WHO?
I actually LIKE the WHOOOOOOOOOO? when it is for 'your Agueros or your Ibrahimovics' #AndyTownsend
Its funny then, unlike when 18 year old Johnny Heckinthwaite comes on for Bury.
Yeah, definitely a few surprises in the fixtures list.... (?!?)

Who will have the most points after the first match? Brighton or Burnley?
We are away at Chelsea
Our first away game last year (0-3)
In our four PL seasons, the first game has gone: Stoke 2 Burnley 0 (2009/10), Burnley 1 Chelsea 3 (2014/15) Burnley 0 Swansea 1 (2016/17)
Things can only get better? Probably not.

Put on the wrong thread by mistake:
Opening Day of the season:
Arsenal vs Leicester City
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City
Chelsea vs Burnley
Crystal Palace vs Huddersfield Town
Everton vs Stoke City
Manchester United vs West Ham United
Newcastle United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Southampton vs Swansea City
Watford vs Liverpool
West Bromwich Albion vs Bournemouth
Which three will be on TV
