Premiership Fixtures 2007/08

Next season's footie fixtures are released on the 14th June.  We all know the 'random' nature of these things 

I think we are due a home time first up so who will it be travelling to Anfield? Maybe the computer is waiting to see who we flog Bellamy too?

Personally I am hoping for a decent outfit, maybe Spurs, a morale boosting victory to really kick off the season.

Its hard to say who you would want in the first game but prefebly Id like Derby.

My mate is a part time Derby fan like, wouldn't mind getting them, and then stuffing them

But I think we will get someone in the Caliber of Tottenham...

I think we'll get Birmingham at home.
As you say we are due a home game first, and we always seem to play a promoted team.
Let's give fat head the worse possible start 

Let's give fat head the worse possible start 

  It would be worth it for the chants about the size of his head, on it's own!

I'll go for another midlands based side and say Villa.

Chelsea away? Crush there hope of unbeaten home record.

Man U at home  ... knock the stuffing out of the "chumpions".

Newcastle at home Owen to score a hat trick for us.

Home game against Arsenal....

Tevez to score a double for US at home to West Ham

home game against Everton !!

Newcastle at home Owen to score a hat trick for us.

What 3 own goals??

Fixtures are out on Thursday - can you believe 
I wouldn't take to much notice of the kick off times, as no doubt Sky, Setana et-all will be claiming there rights to screen us at obscure times as usual.
I'm still going for Birmingham at home, and a 3 - 0 win 

I think we'll get someone dead boring like Aston Villa at home, mind you that would be a nice 3 points to start the season off nicely.

1st game will be away to Accrington Stanley and we'll crucify them 12-0!

Whoops, sorry! What I meant to say is I think we'll play either against Reading or Middlesborough followed by a team in the running for a European place for the 2008/9 season (not Eveton then!) but then what do I know?! 

   I'll go for Charlton..........well you never know if they win there legal case.......what odds for that then?

I think we will get reading away

i think derby away

I dont care as long as we win the first game. Not like last season.

I'll go for Man City at home and a 2-0 win to kick our season off right

Not long to go now !!  Looking forward to this in the morning, at least it will be something i'm interested in on SSN !! 

I'll go for West Ham at home or should that be Sheff Utd

I'll go for chelsea at home with an emphatic win 4-0..get in!!

Good point! when do you think we will have our 1st 3pm KO? October anyone? Last season it was 14th October 1-1 Blackburn at home.

Chelsea away? Crush there hope of unbeaten home record.

I'd love that! We can't let them take that record! Then again, they can have it! We'll set another one

I'll go for Blackburn at home!

Derby at home nice an easy

Good point! when do you think we will have our 1st 3pm KO? October anyone? Last season it was 14th October 1-1 Blackburn at home.

Too true!  My prediction is that Premiership fixtures will be released at around 10ish tomorrow morning.

Reading back through this thread maybe we shouldn get Birmingham at home if the world's 5th richest man is about to buy them.  Gillett and Hicks will have probably sold them Gerrard.

Good point! when do you think we will have our 1st 3pm KO? October anyone? Last season it was 14th October 1-1 Blackburn at home.

Was at that match! McCarthy ruined it for us if I remember correctly?

18 mins to go and i can plan the rest of this year !!   

4 Minutes left...

2 mins, get comfy on the sofa 
Happy with that - Villa away ! 

Liverpool Wigan

Good start I reckon

Hmm... what a boring opener...

Was expecting a bit of a more exciting game, something like Birmingham or Derby!

Liverpool Wigan

Good start I reckon

What are you watching ?  Liverpool have got Villa away and the blue sh*te have got Wigan at home, juicy one for Sam Alardyce though Bolton v Newcastle

Hmm... what a boring opener...

Was expecting a bit of a more exciting game, something like Birmingham or Derby!

chelsea got Birmingham, hope they snot them, 

that was my guess................. (wasnt a very good one!)

villa away west ham at home and chelsea at home not the easiest of starts but we should be lookin for at least 6/7 points!

Find thes in my inbox this morning.

Looks up to scratch to me. What time was the email sent mate??

We should be looking at Maximum points in the first month of games, even if it is Chelsea.

They were posted on the RAWK website last night    dont know how they got them but they were right, maybe a trip to the bookies would of been in order 

No reason why we cant get a good start this season........think i said that last year as well   

8.41 this morning.

Should have thought on and posted them earlier.....I'm a lazy b***ard at times

No worries mate, I was still tucked up in bed by then!!

Hmm... what a boring opener...

Boring is good at the start of the season! There is always a few silly results churned out, we just want a quit start and try to rack up maximum points. Nine points from the first three games would be Heaven!

Indeed. Maximum points in August!

Crunch time - 18th August. It's imperative we get an early lead on at least one of Chelsea or Utd, this will give us a perfect opportunity.

1500 post.

No more silly starts, like draws against Sheffield United...

Next thing to do is now look at for SKY's schedule.

If I'm right in thinking, wasn't it mid October before we had a Saturday 3.00 KO at Anfield ?

They usually publish their schedule upto the Christmas period not long after the fixtures come out.

Hope like last season we keep the Sunday games toa minimum. Football belongs on a Saturday afternoon.

Congrats Court LFC on 1500  posts


Secondly I picked that too...bloody Villa....maybe we'll face off against Bellamy 1st up.


Finally a question...is the last game against Spurs home or away?

AWAY  Aussiered, bloody typical, love going to anfield on the last day of the season - especially when we have to collect the PL trophy   
Here's a link for you to check everyones out Aussie red 

http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=471282&CPID=8&clid=3&lid=4161&title=Premier+League+fixtures

that'd be right ...away sux ....oh well we'll just have to lift the trophy in London...I'm sure Jose will pop into the ground to see us do it.



thanks for the link smigger ....will have a proper look soon....cheers

the first 8 games we should be getting 3 points maybe except chelski  game

villa 1 - liverpool 1 that is my prediction for the first game of the season.

villa 1 - liverpool 1 that is my prediction for the first game of the season.

You're not very optimistic then are you??

Did you not learn from last season that having a mind blowing start would give us a great opportunity to win the Premiership??

Not a bad start to the season, I predict 2-1 to us against Villa!!

Overall they have been much kinder to us than last year. We have the 3 promoted teams in the first 7 games and a decent run in over christmas and new year where we should pick up maximum points

My prediction 2-1 to the Reds of course 

What do me and MsGerrard win then? 

I'm quite happy with the first three games. To be fair I'm quite glad we didn't get another promoted side like last season. They usually use nearly all their energy up in the first game and play soo tight at the back because they don't want a rollicking for their first game in the prem. Get six points from the first two games then give Chavski a good wolloping and I'll be chuffed to bits!! Start as we mean to go on this time!!

and me !!  just didnt post it    Thought we'd get Birmingham or Villa

I'll go 2-0 and start it off with a clean sheet

Great minds think alike Redkenny

2 -1 to the Reds I think

2-1 Here also

Secondly I picked that too...bloody Villa....maybe we'll face off against Bellamy 1st up.

sorry I thought I picked Villa but I looked and I picked the Hammers....nearly but no cigar....you can have the prize MsGerrard an redkenny.


my prediction 3-0 hammering by the mighty REDS...Eto'o (fingers crossed) , Crouch and Agger

Thankyou for being such a good sport Aussie Red, I'm sure me and RedKenny will share our wonderful prize of ......nothing with you. HaHa

That's what we'll tell AussieRed, MsGerrard! Good idea!
Yeah it'll be in the post first thing Aussie mate 

We get the Draw specialist not great but we will have to show them that we are gona be Champions by hammering them,Is it me or do Villa go out on to the pitch and try put people 2 sleep cause i cant stand watching them play.

Lets hope we will see some world class signings by then im getting tired of waiting or is it just me going stir crazy without football at the moment im watching any football i can get near.

I work with a Villa fan and when I make a brew in the morning he is not allowed to let his Villa cup touch my Liverpool mug! I also point out from time to time that I went to Anfield on my birthday, October 28th (hence RED 10 28!) and we beat them 3-0, before half-time too!
We need some big performances this season otherwise we'll be scrapping for 3rd place again and that would be tragic. At least we can sort the Chavs out early on and go on from there.
Let's hope we hit the ground running this year!

Well, if I went the West Ham game, would I be eligible to go the Chelsea game??

No wonder we always seem to make dodgy starts to a season as being away for our first game is a lot trickier start than the rest of the ‘big four’ has, then usually if we get a draw at least we start the season two points behind the other three. The only solution then is to make sure we get off to a flyer and win away at villa.

It is not long since Manchester United regained their Premier League crown, but already attention has been focused on the new campaign with the release of the forthcoming season's fixture list.
Three of last season's top four sides will kick off their domestic campaigns in August with home fixtures. Champions Manchester United play host to Reading, Chelsea take on Birmingham at Stamford Bridge and Arsenal face metropolitan neighbours Fulham at the Emirates.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have to travel to Aston Villa on August 11th, a tricky encounter which will be their fourth opening day Premiership game played away from home in a row. Indeed, the Anfield giants have begun 10 of the their 15 campaigns so far with an away fixture, significantly more than any of the other 'Big Four'.
Arsenal, unlike The Reds, are used to starting the season on their own patch, with 11 out of their 15 curtain raisers occurring on home soil.
Despite that regular home advantage, Arsenal's 60 per cent win rate on opening day games ranks only second out of the top four behind current champions United, who have won 10 of their 15 opening day games to date.

I like that, I would be just the same with my mug. My daughter's birthday is on 28th October too ...What a coincidence.

That's what we'll tell AussieRed, MsGerrard! Good idea!
Yeah it'll be in the post first thing Aussie mate 

cheers redkenny.....will keep a look out for it....and they say you're not a generous person ...what do they know

They? They talk a lot don't they Aussie!

Between me and you, there's a can of Stella winging it's way over to you as I type mate. Don't tell MsGerrard though 
But if we beat Villa 3-1 at the start of the season, then I want a four pack on it's way back to me, ok?

mate down here we have 6 packs.....I know.... I''ll just take 2 out ....consider it done...but what do I send you when we win 3-0?

Well, you can send those other two cans mate, if it's 3-0 
Would be rude not to.....
 

Me and Mr Villa supporter from work are going to attend the 1st game of the season together at Villa Park, it would be rude not to! I may have to sit amongst the Villa fans but at the risk of not seeing the game it seems a risk worth taking!

red1028...if you do go and sit with the Villa supporters, obviously you can't wear your reds top...but would you be game enough to sing the song and shout support for the boys or is that a death wish? I'm just trying to get a feel of what it's like over there if you are forced to sit with the opposition.

red I'll bring them over personally mate...then hopefully scrounge a ticket for the West Ham game .

I don't think I could go and see the boys play without wearing a Liverpool top, it would be like going swimming and not getting wet, impossible! As for the singing and shouting I'll have to cross that bridge when I get to it. I'm not familiar with how Villa fans react when they've been infiltrated by an impostor ! but I guess they won't want to get the drinks in when we win!

Sitting with the opposition is not fun! But when I went it was Birmingham V Cardiff and only Birmingham scored so I just sat there hehe. But if Cardiff had scored, especially with the 100million chances we had in the last 5mins, I would've cheered and probably got jumped on by all the Brummies around me!! Kinda lucky I didn't.
A friend of mine went to Wolves V Cardiff last season when Cardiff fans were banned, around March time I think, and he got into the home and and we won 2-1 or 3-1, he said he'd never struggled to keep quiet so much in his life

I hope I can come to Anfield again this season :hearts:

Mate, I'm just worried about you...I've seen Green Street Hooligans and The Football Factory and if there anything like what really goes on over there, then if I was in your place I'd probably sh*te myself being in the oppositions domain...they'd be even more pissed when we beat them 3-0 and they see you proudly wearing your mighty fine RED top

Okay, here's a question for you all....
Would you go and sit with opposition fans proudly wearing your REDS top with the outside chance of getting your head caved in for celebrating wildly when E'to lays it off to Henry who then scores a 40 yard screamer to score a hat-trick before half-time! 
or
Not go to the match at all?

I reckon this should be a whole new Thread topic .......to answer your question I'd make sure Mike Tyson was sitting next to me ...then I'd go ballistic if that scenario was to happen .

Home game against Arsenal....

Ah ok I got it wrong but not on my league 'random fixtures' on PES6 with Torres in the team....score 2-0 to the 'pool Crouch & Torres with the goals.

Does anyone know when sky release their list of live games?and does anyone know of any good deals with the setana package?
Can anybody shed any light on this?someone must know something?

RED1028 sits with the Villa fans in a Villa shirt, 10 minutes from the end if it's not going well, he runs onto the pitch and attacks the ref. The ref abandons the game and awards a 3-0 win to Liverpool. Redkenny gets his six stellas from Aussiered, who has promised to bring them over personally so will get to come to our fine country & hopefully stay here long enough to catch a match. Redkenny then sends me three of his beers for coming up with this great plan.

Everyone's happy! Me and Redkenny get three beers each, Aussiered gets to come to England & watch the mighty reds, and every other poster's happy as we win our first game of the season.















































Oh, apart from RED1028, who gets nicked & probably gets a footie ban, never being able to watch his beloved reds again. Sorry Andy.

Excellent start to the season.

So at 4.45 on the first day I can guarantee we won't be top.

Is there something missed off that list Smigger? Don't they usually do all the games up until the end of the year?

Me and Mr Villa supporter from work are going to attend the 1st game of the season together at Villa Park, it would be rude not to! I may have to sit amongst the Villa fans but at the risk of not seeing the game it seems a risk worth taking!

Here's where my 'ideal scenario' falls apart!
Henry is not going to play for Liverpool as I had hoped for (given his skill / vision / ability and experience of the Prem  :'() It is sooooooo unlikley E'to will ever kick a ball in the Red shirt of Liverpool (this season at least )
But all is not lost! Eddie C has a master plan that could shape (pear shape ) the whole season for us!

Redkenny gets his six Stellas from Aussiered, who has promised to bring them over personally so will get to come to our fine country & hopefully stay here long enough to catch a match. Redkenny then sends me three of his beers for coming up with this great plan.

Everyone's happy! Me and Redkenny get three beers each, Aussiered gets to come to England & watch the mighty reds, and every other poster's happy as we win our first game of the season.

Oh, apart from RED1028, who gets nicked & probably gets a footie ban, never being able to watch his beloved reds again. Sorry Andy.

But now I have a whole new dilemma! The match is on August 11 at Villa Park at 4pm.
I have the opportunity to go somewhere I've been before (and really enjoyed), some 25 years ago, and do something I want and need to do! Confused?  I am and I know what I'm talking about!

The event takes place in the Ramsey in Isle of Man at 9.30am on 12th August 2007. In October I have a big event which I need to train for. This event is crucial to my training and seems like a perfect excuse to re-visit the Isle of Man! 

  Before I go in to too much detail my dilemma is I am almost definatley going to have to miss getting my head caved in for celebrating wildly as we rip Villa to bits with a screamer from Toress and Gerrard followed by a Riisse rocket then by Pennant setting Kuyt up for a knockdown to Crouchy who slams in a ridiculous arms and legs everywhere bicycle kick volley from 25 yards (or something like that! )
 Anyone interested in my event will have to join me in the Amazing Adventures thread. The good thing is I will get to see the match anyway, if not live :'( I will still be alive, in one piece to celebrate!

Absolute quality Eddie. You weren't in the A-Team by any chance were you?
Knowing our Andy, he'll probably be well equiped with a secret hot air ballon and a cunning disguise for his escape from the Villa fans and the bizz! I reckon he'll be safe.

Cheers for the info Smigger!

nice plan, Eddie but I'm sure I was only bringing over 4 ....doesn't matter mate...I'll change my plan and pack the other 2....see you soon

Well, you can send those other two cans mate, if it's 3-0 
Would be rude not to.....
 

I'm sure you agreed to this, if the ref calls the game off it'll be given as 3-0

good morning Eddie,  no worries mate....when I do come over....I'll bring a SLAB of Stellas for you and Red.
