Matthew Le God Posted 17 June, 2012 Share Posted 17 June, 2012 (edited) Aren't they trying to avoid having games in London during the Olympics? EDIT: maybe not, just checked and the opening fixture is in the gap between Olympics and para-olympics.

Crazy Diamond Posted 17 June, 2012 Share Posted 17 June, 2012 West Ham fan on form as always "wouldn't mind going to Reading or Southampton and absolutely battering them." They've learnt nothing from last season. Nothing at all. They were relegated for a reason, they spent more than most teams combined and came third, yet they're still so incredibly arrogant.

They're already gearing up for another splurge on players, despite their finances... That winger, Elia, from Juve? He's got to be on a fair wedge yet WHU are in for him, allegedly... That's Robert Green's wages gobbled up in one hit... I quite hope we do play them early and put them in their place. Horrible team, horrible supporters, horrible manager.

Also I wonder how long they give Allardyce when he's playing hoof ball for the rest of the world to see and they go through an inevitable bad patch. It seems that the best way of surviving up there (here) is to try to play football rather than defend and rely on the hoof to a big front man. West Ham seem well equipped to play the very kind of 'football' that will get them relegated. Again. Let's hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeySFC Posted 17 June, 2012 Share Posted 17 June, 2012 Also, it's not happened since the 2004/05 season that a promoted team (Crystal Palace) played another promoted team (Norwich) in their opening fixture of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Diamond Posted 17 June, 2012 Share Posted 17 June, 2012 To be honest, I can't say I'm all that bothered about who we play on the opening day. First thing I do when I see a new fixture list is identify key points of the season. I just hope we avoid a run-in in which we play teams like United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool etc in a row. Christmas is also one to look at, given the ridiculous amount of games in a row. We may even take a small amount of comfort in the fact we've no players at the EUROs this season, everyone ought to be fully recharged and refreshed compared to other clubs who will have guys back after a lengthy season.

I think they will be stronger than us next season I know that flies in the face of our brilliant march up the leagues. But that is what I think I must admit I have a similar feeling, but it's more because they will definitely splurge whereas we're likely to be more cautious. In the long run I know what I'd prefer. But for one of their lot to say outright they can't wait to 'batter' us straight away given what their club is currently like and previous performances, I just think they're woefully out of touch.

Matthew Le God Posted 17 June, 2012 Share Posted 17 June, 2012 I cant remember the last time two promoted teams played each other on the opening day of the season.... Sounds like a load of s**t tbh. ... 2004/05 season that a promoted team (Crystal Palace) played another promoted team (Norwich) in their opening fixture of the season. Fixture lists aren't completely random as they take into account many factors, but if they were random the odds of promoted teams meeting on the opening day are relatively small.

Crazy Diamond Posted 17 June, 2012 Share Posted 17 June, 2012 I seem to remember when Wigan came up a Sky Sports News team was sent to the DW or the JJB as it was back then, and they filmed the reaction that the club officials had when they found out they had Chelsea on the opening day. They found out by email on the same morning that everyone else found out, and the first to know was the club secretary. There could be a sense of playing to the camera or it being staged etc, but it seemed pretty genuine. So in order for this to be true, it's going to be passed on from someone who is dealing with the fixtures at its source. Anyway - we'll find out tomorrow.

Flyer Posted 17 June, 2012 Share Posted 17 June, 2012 The fixtures have been known for weeks so theres a chance a leak could have happened. One promoted club always gets a top 3 club, usually at home so it will be on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why its highly unlikely we will have Wet Spam or Reading Ignoring the possibility of being a "paired club" with Reading (and therefore not playing them on opening or closing weekends and bank holidays etc), there are 3 promoted clubs, each of whom has a 2/19 chance of playing one of the other promoted clubs. So if it's only happened once in 20 years, it's actually overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 17 June, 2012 Share Posted 17 June, 2012 I know the clubs get told in advance along with the rozzers so this could be true.

One promoted club always gets a top 3 club, usually at home so it will be on TV. There are 3 promoted teams, and 3 top 3 teams, the probability of one promoted club playing a top 3 club is (3/19*3/19*3/19) = 9/19, so only slightly below a 50/50 chance. So it's basically as likely to happen as not. Unless my recall of probability is fcked of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchen_dan Posted 17 June, 2012 Share Posted 17 June, 2012 Apparently Arsenal are at home to Sunderland. This from a fan site that has got the Arsenal opening fixture spot on for the last 3 seasons so people not 'in the know', do know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
