WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Away on Boxing Day - AGAIN! When was the last time we were at home on Boxing Day? F*CKING HELL! And of all places to go, we get bleak, dismal Wigan. I'm not going. I'm never setting foot in the JJB ever again after trecking down to the shithole that it is in the previous two games, expecting us to win comfortably only to see us underperform and get done over 1-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Apparently clubs can submit lists of teams they don't want to play away at on Boxing Day, and we are on pretty much everyone's list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Villa will be first home game. Arsenal have a Champions League qualifier that night. EDIT = Arsenal's Champions League matches are the weeks either side of that so will be ok to go ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Villa will be first home game. Arsenal have a Champions League qualifier that night. That is good news I'd say, although Villa are a bit of an August bogey club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_NUFC Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 They're certainly not completely random, because they have to make sure certain clubs don't have home fixture clashes (eg Newcastle and Sunderland, Liverpool and Everton, Man City and Man U etc).

TOUGH F*CKING SH!T I know its rubbish really. In addition, Tyneside police now request that we don't play Sunderland, Middlesborough or Man Utd, whoare pretty muc the only teams who havent blacklisted us. Thus we play away.

I'm never setting foot in the JJB ever again after trecking down to the shithole that it is in the previous two games, expecting us to win comfortably only to see us underperform and get done over 1-0 Bloody horrible place, plastic stadium, with a piss poor support and those that do turn up are like a bunch of Monks and only cheer when the scoreboard tells them to. Horrible little Rugby loving town. The Pies at Wigan are nice but I'm not going to Wigan just to have a nice pie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 They asked someone from the PL who makes the fixtures last night on SSN, "what would happen if the arbitration re-instated Sheff Utd - would they just take West Ham's fixtures or would the whole list be re-designed?" He refused to comment, but I suspect that we could see them change should it happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOUGH F*CKING SH!T I know its rubbish really. In addition, Tyneside police now request that we don't play Sunderland, Middlesborough or Man Utd, whoare pretty muc the only teams who havent blacklisted us. Thus we play away. If this is true, it's a disgrace. You shouldn't be able to pick and choose your fixtures like that. You play where you're told and if you've got Dynamo Mars away at 10 am on Boxing Day then tough f*cking luck - that's how it goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 We always seem to end up playing catch-up from the first month don't we? Always have a game in hand which isn't the best thing in the world. 2001-2 due to our Intertoto Cup match. 2002-3 due to our Champions League qualifier. 2003-4 as above. 2004-5 & 2005-6 as normal (I think) 2006-7 due to Liverpool's CL qualifier 2007-8 due to Arsenal's CL qualifier.

When we went in Feb we got off the bus and started watching a Rugby game for a couple of minutes. Everyone was shouting "HANDBALL!" Not particularly original, but it pissed off the locals for a couple of minutes until we were bored and went to find the pub. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
