Fixtures are fixtures, deal with it.

Odd feeling that Spurs will mount a serious challenge for a top -4 spot. Hopefully it's Arsenal and not us in trouble.

[Special Juan 27,103]

I think with all spending and players bought Spurs have def secured that fifth spot

[hjperdeath 2,226]

prediction time. AVB will move away at the end of the season to a bigger club and Arsene Wenger to leave Arsenal.

To be fair though, it is a tough run.

Almost as if Jose picked them himself ;p

Nah, Jose is too busy UN-settling Rooney.

Seems like it's working if that's what he's doing.

This transfer window is so boring. Maybe it's his entertainment.

He could tell Hazard to do some tricks for him. That would be entertaining.

someone had to replace SAF properly

Those fixtures could potentially damage us so badly. I'm actually quite fearful. At the same time, I can't wait for it all to begin.

All I read about Moyes claims of " conspiracy " over PL fixtures.

I hope, this is just reporter´s rumor.

I thought the process of organizing the fixtures is completely fair to all teams. Perhaps, not to Moyes ?

Said by Moyes..

"I find it hard to believe that's the way the balls came out of the bag, that's for sure." "I think it's the hardest start for 20 years that Manchester United have had.

"I hope it's not because Manchester United won the league quite comfortably last year [that] the fixtures have been made much more difficult."

That awkward moment when Man United talk about conspiracy. :lol2:

[bushman 2,043]

Yes boys. I too find it funny to read about manures & conspiracies.

Oh well, we just need to wait for Jose to set straight, soon.

How would you feel if you were champions and got those fixtures? I'm sure if you are honest - you'd be wounded at least. It's a tough start for a new manager. It would have of been incredibly hard even for SAF... Imagine the faces though if we come out those games unscathed, and under David Moyes. It's a great stage for him to silence the doubters; or a means for the press to hammer him if it goes the other way. Hard times for Moyes is something he will learn to deal with as time goes by. I don't think there is any conspiracy - I don't think any level headed person really does, he just feels aggrieved. Rightly so.

Seriously though, wouldn't you rather accept your team needs to improve and live in the real world - contested with calling us cheats, taking the easy way out of having to admit harsh truths about your beloved Chelsea?....

Looks like Moyes is already feeling the pressure that comes with such a big job, time will tell whether he can handle it or not.

[bushman 2,043]

Whether Moyes feel hard done by those fixtures or not, it´s irrelevant.

If he sniveled about it, that´s funny.

These fixtures were done & he should accept it.

After all, was he anticipating easy fixtures according to his preferences ?

They are champions of last season so they should suck it all up Edited August 15, 2013 by 1chelsea
