Posted June 14, 2007 Careful pasting fixture lists, a newcastle board I post on got royally screwed and shut down for a while because of members posting them because they're copyright and the Premier League were on the warpath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 14, 2007 Sorry i mean that people on the 06/07 thread were saying they all wanted to start the 07/08 thread and you got in there. Basically well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2007 Our January (and the last game of december) is utterly rotten. Chelsea, Man U and Arsenal, all away, all within on month, plus Bolton and Everton at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2007 Couldn't have wished for a better opening fixture! Was just talking about how I hoped it would be Newcastle at home on the first day. Let's hope we can welcome Big Sam back with a good hiding!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 14, 2007 Looks like Ben Haim is going to join Steve Sidwell on the bench at Chelsea. Says it's not for money, but for footballing reasons due to the draw of the champions league. Sorry like, but I doubt he's gonna be starting many champions league games unless there's serious injury problems involving Terry, Carvalho and (potentially) Alex.

Sorry like, but I doubt he's gonna be starting many champions league games unless there's serious injury problems involving Terry, Carvalho and (potentially) Alex. yeah he is gonna make a mistake. at least Sidwell will get some games during African Nations but that won't happen with Ben Haim. EDIT: Awful first weeks for pompey, play all of the top 4: August 11 Derby (A) 14 Man Utd (H) 18 Bolton (H) 25 Chelsea (A) September 1 Arsenal (A) 15 Liverpool (H) But then again last season we drew twice with Arsenal, drew and beat Liverpool and beat Man Utd so we could pick up something especially from the home matches.

Posted June 14, 2007 Anyone recognise any of these teams Sat Aug 11 Tranmere Rovers A W/C Aug 13 Macclesfield A (Carling Cup 1) Sat Aug 18 Southend United H Sat Aug 25 Nottingham Forest A Sat Sep 1 Luton Town H Not too bad for the first few games for Leeds, including our first ever appearance in the first round of the Carling Cup Funny how we're playing 2 of the others relegated with us in the first few weeks, including meeting our former manager at Luton. Tis strange how there is always a nice juicy fixture somewhere for someone! (á la Bolton/Newcastle!) Also anyone recognise that name Nottingham Forest? Hell, tis a looooong time since I saw them play! Former European Champions! Twice I believe :p 'tis gonna be a strange season! I haven't a clue about any of the teams in League 1 except the ones we were relegated with! Now where's that map of the UK...I think I know where Yeovil is, but where the bloody hell is Oldham??

Posted June 14, 2007 I think I know where Yeovil is, but where the bloody hell is Oldham?? It may just be me being retarded by why don't those fixtures on the Sky Sports website have a Yeovil Town vs. Leeds United fixture at Huish Park (Yeovil's ground)? I've found the match at Elland Road which is on October 6th but there doesn't seem to be a return match?! I would probably go see the game if I knew when it was!
