The fixtures for the 2019/20 season are released at 9am on Thursday morning.
Hope we get an easier start than last season!! 
Hopefully start with Palace and Brighton at home, that should allow us one more point after 2 games than the season just gone.

I hope will donāt, I want to lose to a team weāre supposed to lose to.
It might be good to start with hard games, might give the powers that be a kick up the backside to get transfers done ASAP rather than wait until the last minute.
You do realise the window SLAMS SHUT the day before the season starts? 
Yes, but a player signed at the last minute is unlikely to be ready to play for us the following day

I donāt mind who we get, as long as we go into the new season well prepared, after having a good transfer window.
Itās not something that happens at this club very often but going into your first game prepared, rather than shambolic, might actually work.

Who ever we play they will want to win their first gameā¦not sure we have the feeling, itās more like looking at them for twenty minutes and hope they get tired.

āThis is our seasonā
āItās the day all football fans across the country have been waiting for as the fixture list for the season is released and they get to find out who their teams will take on on opening dayā
I had a dream last night that we played Bournemouth away first day of the season and Ryan Fraser scored a hat trick for us. I was mates with him and afterwards he said āthanks for putting in a good word for me with Arseneā who I assume we had rehired, lol.

Just off the top of my head, I think weāve only won two opening day fixtures in like the past decade. Crystal Palace at home about 5 years ago and Lieceister in the 4-3 a couple of seasons ago.
It really shows you how poorly we manage our summers and prepare for the seasonā¦

I mean half the time thatās because our best players have been playing in the summer and so arenāt ready for the first couple of games back. It doesnāt matter for teams like Man city because they have the depth to cope for it, and doesnāt matter for weaker teams because less of their players are good enough to be playing during the summer.
I do agree there are certain things we should be doing better though.
