Hopefully our start isn't as stupid as it was last year.

BBC have "Special Live Text Coverage"
How has this become an "event"?
An apparent leak says we’re playing away to Palace first.
Barcodes it is.
In the first 7 games we have Liverpool, spurs and Utd - but it’s not necessarily the games against the big teams that we need to worry about anymore.
Newcastle and Burnley to start. Not bad.
Then it’s the annual drubbing at Anfield followed by Spurs.
Should be a fun start to the season.
I always pay more attention to the run in. I remember before last season thinking "Looks pretty decent, if we're still in the mix for top 4 at that stage then we've got enough easy games in the run in that we should be OK".

Spurs (A)
Liverpool (H)
Villa (A)
Watford (H)
Not ideal although the last 2 are OK.
If we don't get rid of the deadwood and improve our squad we may be in for a difficult start like last season. We'll see what happens in the summer, but so far the names banded about don't exactly fill me with confidence.
Xhaka saying he's not leaving is a bad start to the summer that's for sure.
Man Utd have Chelsea at home first up.
As for us.
Dec 28th Chelsea away.
Jan 1st Man Utd home.
