Premiership fixtures 2011/12 released tomorrow (Friday 17th June)

[Geordie Ahmed]

The fixtures for the Football Leagues will be released tomorrow morning (9am)

Fingers crossed we get a nice home fixture - don't want to be playing Man-U away first off again

I remember correctly calling our fixture with Newcastle at Old Trafford, last year.

You did - now don't you dare repeat that this year

Honestly, does it really matter? Each club has to face each other club atleast twice, so might as well get it over with.

I would love to have a trip to Anfield as either the penultimate or the final game of the PL season.

Nothing sweeter than celebrating the 20th Title in front of the kop.

You are right in a way BUT have some tough fixtures to start off with and you can find yourself bottom of the league without many points on board, which then cranks up the pressure when you have the "easier" fixtures

You have a very valid point too. Easier fixtures at the start of the league can give a team greater confidence and momentum.

For Manchester United, every fixture is an "easy fixture".

Except for against Barcelona

We like Messi, so we went easy on them.

[iHammad]

ohhhh ok, ok...sure

Btw, I read on espn that the fixtures of the "other" leagues like La Liga will be released too, so let's see tomorrow at 9 am uk time.

[Geordie Ahmed]

I think the Spanish fixtures are released mid-July, not certain though

[Amjid Javed]

Arsenal away to newcastle 1st game then home to liverpool and then away to Man United.

[Dr. Schaden Freud]

Very tough start. We will have two important Champions League qualification matches in between those games, as well

[Dr. Schaden Freud]

Manchester United at home is the only tough fixture we have during ACN.

We won't have too many players going, though. Song, Eboue and Chamakh from those who are currently here.

For once... We FINALLY have an early fixture with Manchester United BUT this time, it's at the Emirates. Dare I say that November doesn't look like tough for once.

Chelsea will be going in to the season with a tough battle against Stoke city with Henderson also having the chance to make his debut for Liverpool against his former club, interesting.

Here's a link for the full fixtures of each PL club...

We are away to United at start off the season!

[Amjid Javed]

Even though we have a tough away game to start at newcastle our record on 1st day of the season is pretty strong and since PL started so hopefully we can start season well with 3 points.

I just realised.

I guess I'll be expecting a scrappy 1-0 OR 2-1 win for Manchester United, looks like we have a tough start to the season.

Mentally Arsenal are very weak, but more of that will be shown when we face Newcastle United as last season... Arsenal's morale and mentality suiffered a huge dent when we conceded 4 goals and the defeats versus Birmingham and Barcelona were a insult to injury, I guess.

It's a tough opening fixture and a tough opening month - but if Arsenal want to be the best, then they have to beat the best!

[Amjid Javed]

Man united, Spurs and chelsea away in 1st 5 away games we have... atleast it means we get these out off the way.

[iHammad]

Man United vs West Brom and then Arsenal v Liverpool in the very 2nd week!

Season starts August 13th, wow that's not far away.

[Geordie Ahmed]

A repeat result of last seasons game at home to Arsenal would be nice

[Fireworks11]

Utd travel to West Brom, it should be a relatively routine 3 points. Many big games early on in the season.
