afar Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Just know our first game is going to be moved.to Friday night. First live game of the season is bound to involve us. Just hope its not too much of a trek. Booked that friday off already mind just in case I predict it will be Villa they target for this, I've heard them describe themselves as the biggest ever club to be relegated from the PL, we've been down here before recently, it's new for them. Of course we could be playing Villa first game then it's an absolute lock for live coverage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Also they're away 6th May so we'll be at home for our last game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Also they're away 6th May so we'll be at home for our last game. So we finish two weeks before the Premier League?! I thought it was one! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Nailed on to be either Burton or Villa away in the first game of the season. Blackburn away would be glorious to start the season, 17:30 kick off on the Saturday to ensure the vocal chords are lubricated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFCDoog Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Yeah a big allocation would be nice. Probably be somewhere boring like Fulham - is there a more dull away ground than Fulham. Not just ruind because its London and our atmosphere is never as good down there but that ridiculous neutral section which always dilutes the atmosphere somehow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 To be fair I don't think Thauvin could motivate himself to turn off his lightswitch at night. Bet he just lays there with the light on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Anyone else think with this seasons Premier league potentially turning into a shit storm of good teams, the best place for Rafa's re-building job to take place is in the championship (Not even gona put my tin hat on) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 It's not. They may have money but the likes of Stoke Watford etc can never attract the players we can when we are ran right. We will be able to attract better players than most when we are back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have that concern. But then I'm comforted by the fact that only two teams have bought their way to outright success this century. There's so much more to it than simply cherry picking geet loads of internationals, as Leicester proved, Spurs too. I could see us getting promoted, consolidating our position in the Prem and then getting into the top 6 within the next three years. The Premier League is a free for all.

toontownman Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Depends on our squad and what we bring in A year for a few to bed in like mitro, possibly wijnaldum plus a year for some young English players to find there fit and excel. It's more about building that psyche and culture that you see in clubs that come up. Shedding the money grabbers and making sure we are also picking up players that can blossom in the premier league when we go up is the goal. As we saw last season and to lesser extents other years having a team that works together and has the hunger can outweigh the mega bucks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A core of the better championship level players, with just one or two marquee signings when we come back up will make us competitive right away on our return.
