What games do you look forward to?

The key fixtures for me are those in August/early Sept as I'm usually on holiday then and I like to build a plan around watching Sunderland or someone in the sun with a dozen beers. That first fixture always has banana skin all over it - *prays for Fulham at home"

And United at home is the big one for me

With the RS it's got a bit boring really with the safe knowledge of an early home derby and a late trip to Anfield.

The rest I couldn't give a monkeys.
 

Will be looking out for United and Liverpool in particular this season. We'll have chances against United, Chelsea and City if we get them early and they take more time than us to gel with their new manager than we do.
 
It's always interesting and exciting when a new manager takes over. I remember when Howard Kendall came back in 1997/98, first game was against Crystal Palace at home and we got beat 2-1. I remember Atillio Lombardo playing that day.

I was there when Walter Smith took the reigns a season later and our first game was Aston Villa at home, it finished 0-0. It was a good chance to see our new signings like Materazzi, Dacourt, Collins, Madar. I'm not 100% sure on this but I think the game was opened up with a Scotsman playing the bagpipes and it was very motivating, you got that feeling in your stomach.

Also when David Moyes joined the club in March 2002, that Fulham game and the goal by Unsy.

All 3 times were exciting and there's no reason why this time will be any different. It'll be more exciting for me as I'm now an adult and I will appreciate it better.
 
I like playing the worst team in the league, at home.

It means I can sit back, relax, and just enjoy the win.

Er, pity it doesn't always work out that way.. I'm still getting over Villa at home this year. Not to mention Wigan.
 
I've got a feeling the likes of Crystal Palace will be a bit like that.

Looks like no Suarez in this years derby so we can direct our abuse at someone else.
 
The 2 derbies, Boxing day, first and last games and games what I'll miss due to being on holiday are always the first I look out for
