First game of the season

[JAYTALITY]

Just wanted to create a thread where people can discuss and recall different first days what was memorable or not so much.

A great recent one was the Fellaini winner against United under the lights.

...generally as a kid (a long time ago) it wasn't so much a specific game that was memorable but the greeness of the pitch compared to the mud and dust bowl at the end of the season. Different these days of course.

1995/95, Gary Speed's debut.

Stuffed Newcastle in Shearer's debut.

Was at the back of the lower Bullens, saw sod all.

The Lescott/Arsenal game. Christ, that was grim sitting through that, as that arsehole sauntered around the pitch.

Fellaini v Man U was class - missed that match coz I was in Scotland. Watched it in a pub in Oban where I was the only blue surrounded by plenty of utd fans. Always good when you win and you're completely surrounded by the oppo fans. Marouane was immense that night.

And as we're starting with Watford this season....when we played them about 8/9 years ago and Chris Powell headed in his own box and we got a pen which won it for us.e

The Dunc v Shearer show with Dunc determined to show up Newcastle's new £15m man and succeeding with a brace iirc.

....Shearer was talking about that on telly yesterday, they played us and he came off thinking "what have I done".

Villa 2-2 was 94/95.

I'm on about 95/96 mate.
