Ummm not sure an opening day spanking will be good for the teams confidence... pretty much a dead cert to be top billing on MOTD though.

[saint_sinner]

we've won up there a couple of times including last game at Maine Road (with free oasis concert) so I'm quite pleased! Gott play them sometime and I guarantee it'll be on sky for the potential humiliation factor. Give em hell boys!!

[alpine_saint]

Cant make my mind up if I wanted a few easier teams at the start to build up a bit of confidence for the new era at SFC, or if that would have been the worst thing in the world in case we lost them...

 

We're a shoe-in for the first televised game of the season, I reckon.

[paris]

Ouch tough start those first few games .....

Last month far more important than first month. Lose first 5 games and there is plenty of time to catch up. Win last 5 and we will stay up.

[Guest Dark Sotonic Mills]

Pound to a penny the first match will be switched for TV.

[dubai_phil]

Oooh, now THAT's tempting.

 

Etihad sponsor Citeh.

Etihad are just down the road.

They offer complete packages for games for not more than the cost of a normal ticket home........

 

Hmmmm

[Saint Billy]

Didn't know whether to laugh or cry, I decided on the latter.

 

That is the toughest of starts.

[dubai_phil]

Haha and PCFC have a tough derby against Bompey lol

January/Feb looks very tough!!!

I suspect this will be changed to a Monday night for Sky coverage.

[Saint86]

Guys get some perspective.... We can decide the title in the first 4 weeks

 

On a serious note, I would rather play city away first game than after we have played 6-7games and we have had a wake up call. Right now we are on the back of back to back promotions, we are not expected to win and this is a cup tie for us. Its followed up by Wigan at home, and if we can't win that we will be in the relegation zone regardless. Loosen up. We may well get 4 points from these first 2 games and then we can enjoy Manure at home. I really don't think this is that bad. It is a tough league next season, but we have great team mentality and I think we will surprise a few people. Also lambert, lallana and cork and morgan will be a bit of an unknown for the first few games and that is a decent premier league core.

 

Ultimately the boys have nothing to lose and everything to play for. And they will be full of confidence. Have some faith! What we have achieved so far has been spectacular but the best is still to come. And this team, with the right additions can be a 10th placed team this season. Its a tough start, but imagine how easy it will be to play the other teams after those first 4 games ^_^

 

Ducks head in anticipation of impending barrage!!!

 

Then for good measure, adds "champions league, here we come"

 

Lots of Love,

[Hatch]

At least we can concentrate on the cups

[captainchris]

Note to Ian Holloway.........We are playing Man City, Man Utd and Arsenal in our first four games! Message ends.....

[Saint_clark]

I'm more worried about when Sky will move some around now than I was for the actual fixtures being released. Need to know for work.

[Saint_clark]

Pompeys first four fixtures by comparison;

 

Sat 18: BOURNEMOUTH (H)Tue 21: Colchester (A) Sat 25: Carlisle (A)

Sat 1: OLDHAM (H)

 

Pompey kick off their League One campaign at home to Bournemouth.

 

The Cherries are at Fratton Park for a south coast derby on Saturday, August 18.

Really, who cares ? Why are we so fixated by them still ? We've left them far, far behind. And maybe they dont even get the chance to fulfil thos fixtures anyway.

[Saint Garrett]

Defintiely need to get some points out of these....

 

October 6: Fulham (H)

October 20: West Ham (A)

October 27: Tottenham (H)

November 3: West Brom (A)

November 10: Swansea (H)

November 17: QPR (A)

November 24: Newcastle (H)

November 27: Norwich (H)

December 1: Liverpool (A)

December 8: Reading (H)

Karma. They had their turn laughing at us when we were playing Bournemouth etc.

And you and some others are still bitter about it ?

 

I think its safe for us to move on now

[Thorpe-le-Saint]

I miss the opening two games as I'm abroad...hopefully Sky do me a favour

[Saint_clark]

And you and some others are still bitter about it ?

Not bitter in the slightest, I'm just enjoying the reversal.

me too - long may it last

[SNOWY]

Ouch to our start! City, Utd and Arsenal 3 of our first 4 games!

 

Gulp!

[Saint86]

Gulp!

 

We will be fine mate, have faith, I said from the second we got promoted from Npower 1 that we would go up last year. We have, nto I am telling you we will be around 10th this season! Those first games are not an issue. Even if we lose 5-0 to city it is a game that we are not going to be expected to get a result out of. We have a damn good team with a couple of additions. And we have lambert, I mean holt got 17 goals last season..... Lambert will be 25 JayRod is going to be a beast and we have big old jos, morgan, corky and lallana!! Its a solid young team, even de rids will get some good game time next year. We will need his pace for crosses. Have faith, and enjoy, we have been looking for this since we got relegated, don't blink and wish for millwall when you see the first fixtures. Bloody pathetic. If that is our attitude then we don't deserve to be premier league as fans!

[Lets B Avenue]

I would hope that ManCity away will be Sky's Sunday 4 pm game.

[jawillwill]

I hope Man City is a Monday night game.

[Saint Garrett]

Wouldn't be surprised if City is moved to 12:30 on the Saturday so the Champions start before everyone else.

For what, FFS ?

 

I just think the obsession with PFC is so pointless. They are on the brink of extinction, we are on the brink of the Champions League. The battle of wills has been won, its over.

Its not over! We could be back in the same league in 12 months - make the most of it while you can!

 

+ we are not on the brink of the champions league!

I predict an "Adkins OUT" thread by December 1st

What are you on about? Read this forum and think again. The Champions League is a given, it's inevitable, no one can stop us. it's only a matter of time.
