2008-2009 Premiership Fixtures: Monday 16th June, 10am, it's BORO AWAY!

[Rocksuperstar]

If these fixtures are new today how come I read we had 'Boro last week?

The draw was made Wednesday/Thursday last week, the list was then twinked and fiddled with, to make Sky happy... i mean, to ease congestion :| and released today for public consumption :up:

We've actually not got a bad opening run - apart from Chelsea away as our third game, we've got two good solid warm-ups against oppo who will really want to show they've got a shot at the top half this term :up:

 

[milkman]

same last match of the season except its at 'Pool!.

a pretty easy start to the season!

 

[trefarr]

So how do the FA choose the fixtures? Is it a draw? I m 100 percent sure that there was someone who started a thread saying we will get Boro Away for our first match and this was a week ago. ITK or fortune teller?

It is drawn by a computer.

That explains everything. And here I was thinking we have finally found the long awaited phrophet / ITK. It s the same feeling like when I was told santa does not exist.

The last game is on 24th May, the season never finishes that late, but I guess there's no international tournaments next year. But as the season is finishing so late will that mean the UEFA cup and Champions League finals will be in June.

What is a phrophet?

 

[worcestersauce]

Can we clear something up then - are we actually allowed to discuss any team playing any other team as, considering all sides 38 games have been drawn, we mention any team -v- any other team and we're apparently in breach of copywright? :shrug:

Surely the copywright only exists on the full fixture list?

The English Premier League has no copyright on clubs and so we can discuss clubs, clearly if clubs are in the same division they will play each other home and away this format is in the public domain and preceeds the English Premier League by 130 years so we can discuss this.
When they play is now in the public domain so we can discuss this.
What we think of the cretinous greed merchants running the English Premier League is our opinion and they can't copyright opinions.

Therefore for what it's worth you have my permission to say what you want Rocksuperstar any problems just refer Mr "never went to a football match before I was" head of the English Premier League bollox faced scudamore to me, so that I can give him my opinion of him. I shall of course keep my opinion of him secret for now.

I dont like that run in to the end of the season. Too many traditional top six finishers for my liking. We'll have to be sure to make ourselves felt before Spring!

But it means we'll have our destiny in our own hands SLS

What is a phrophet?

or a prophet if you like it better

This is some info from the oracle that is the Yeovil Town website detailing how they decide the fixtures in the football league. I assume the system is the same in the Premiership.

 

[DC_Boy]

good info TSH so there's not much of a 'draw' at all?

I stopped believing in Santa when i discovered he was dressed in red :evil:

On paper, an easy start, hope we can get off to a flyer!

End looks quite tough, bring it on!

COYS!

Easy start last season too when I thought we'd be towards the top of the table after the first few games, so not getting my hopes up this season. Good to get a tough one like Chelsea away out of the way early though.
