What’s different this year?I think the reason we've been playing at home the last couple of years or so, is that we have to play two consecutive away in October. When our stadium is given over to American football.

not a great fixture list for us really but can't really tell how it's going to go until we see what transfers come in, and the kinda football we play
And raya getting first clean sheet as a spurs keeper would be sweet!!Kicking Brentford in the happy sack sounds like a good way to start the season.
Cheers. Just had a 4 finger Kit Kat (from fridge) and massive coffee and am now buzzing.Some right fucking whingers on this thread.
Go have a yorkie and a cup of tea and shut the fuck up.

Open top bus parades are expensive, mustn't rush into things.Luckily we are out of Europe and will be out of the domestic cups early , this will allow us to be fresh as a daisy for these games . Whilst the competition will have the unnecessary, total waste of time burden of challenging for the league , European Glory and domestic cup success . Who knows, some of their players and management might also be distracted by thinking about rewarding their fans with an open top bus parade and all that goes with it . Again no such distractions for us , the admin staff can get on with planning our next pre season tour of 3 games in Saudi Arabia.

Nothing. Someone asked why we always play at home first.
We've been at home first for the last 4 years I thinkaway again as usual, to Brentford this time.
Woolwich start off with a by as usual, home to forrest
Your right I didn't see we were away at the end of the season. I don't know why this is. I'm not bothered about the first game, but the last game should alternate each season. It's a big advantage if you need a point or 3 to win the league, qualify for Europe or avoid relegation, from your last game, if you are playing at home.Thanks. Still not sure why that would mean we’d be away for the start and end though?
Typical.
Do you think there's a conspiracy occurring?Woolwich first 3 fixtures
Forest
Palace
Fulham.
Just like last season, an unbelievably easy start to allow them to gain momentum and confidence
I was thinking that we seem to be playing someone better than us nearly every week.
Are you sure it's not just the way the cookie has crumbled for them, without meaning to do them any favours?There is no conspiracy, it's in the open.
The media treatment, helpful fixtures general woolwich vomit will be even stronger this season.
Never forget, the bigger, corporate media outlets really went with the joined-up message that they didn't bottle it last season.

They bottled it alright but I don't think that means that the fixtures have been purposely turned out to make it easier for them this season.The cookie just crumbled when they did but it wasn't them bottling the longest held lead in prem history?
Oh, and they've "randomly" put the home game vs Woolwich near the end in the hope they WiN tHe LeAgUe At ThE LaNe AgAiN
