First impressions: United home - obviously tough, Villa away - Lambert's first home game in charge. Well - it could be better but maybe a tough start is ok - if we (as always) don't start well might as well have tough games that are losable rather than QPR & Blackburn (last year). Chelsea at the end - obviously tough. Not too many tough runs. The RS get their tough home fixtures early so they'll be happy with that. Maybe we can put them in the Championship on the 4th of May.

Guess we're on TV 12 noon on the 18th then.

we beat the bigger teams anyway in the second half of the season, its the lower teams we struggle to get ourselves up for.
ideal scenario would of been an easy first 6 games and then during feb/march/ to play 6 or 7 big teams

I was at that match.

It's the reason I will never forgive Lescott.

Spot on. I don't get this daft conspiracy RS home game first theory either.

Quite happy with the start of the season, the first 5 or 6 matches don't look too difficult! United is obviously going to be tough but with the 1st match you never know what will happen.

And that derby in may should be interesting, probably it will be the decider on who finishes 6th or not!

Just abit gutted that once again the home derby is first

full list if anyone wants to see. I'm happy with United at home, it's an interesting game and could be a great confidence boost right at the start if we win. Late away derby is also interesting, moyes will rest our 1st 11 before a key FA Cup again though?

Bar this last season ManU's most dodgy period is their start to the season, its seems to be the time they are most beatable, maybe having players at the Euros like Rooney and Nani may have an impact on their start, but then again we have players at the euros as well. Having tough away games like Villa and West Brom could be a good thing as the pressure and emphasis is taken away from our players to break down the opposition, could be the difference in the start that we need.
