Home to Arsenal

[rebel]

Cool, I suppose Arsenal are a top 6 team. Opening fixtures are kind to us.

[Jurassic Parker]

Followed by Leeds then Aston Villa, two of our first three games ones where all parties will be setting out to prove themselves not amongst the rabble of relegation fodder. Should be interesting

[Tabby]

Leeds and Villa the next two after.

[Mince n Tatties]

If we need the points our run in isn't bad either

[rebel]

We need to get plenty of points on the board before December, the last 8 matches has 4 of the top 6 teams in the Prem. Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea and Tottenham.

[Woolly Mammoth]

There are no easy games, they will all be tough, I don't care who we play or when we play them, it makes no difference. Villa and Leeds will be no easier than Arsenal and they could turn out to be tougher.
It's all on the day and if we are good enough we will beat them and go up the ladder and stay up. If we aren't good enough then we will go down the snake and back to the championship, that is the reality.
First and foremost is to strengthen our defence before we kick a ball in anger, and bring another striker in to support Mitro, and tie down Harrison Reed.

Finding it difficult to get excited about this list as usually start planning and looking forward to going to the games.  Hopefully we can get to Spuds new ground at Christmas.

Looking at the autumn, after Goobers, we don't play traditional top 6 "big boys" so will need to get points on the board early: -
Saturday 19th September Leeds United (A)
Saturday 26th September Aston Villa (H)
Saturday 3rd October Wolverhampton Wanderers (A)
Saturday 17th October Sheffield United (A)
Saturday 24th October Crystal Palace (H)
Saturday 31st October West Bromwich Albion (H)
Saturday 7th November West Ham United (A)
Saturday 21st November Everton (H)
Saturday 28th November Leicester City (A)

Pressure on to get some early points on the board, lets hope we can get transfers sorted son with a view to having a settled team before too many matches are played. Leeds and Villa are virtual relegation six pointers, we want to be functioning well by that stage.

[The Cravenette]

It is exciting but not being able to attend matches does take the shine off a bit.

Can you imagine what that opening game against Arsenal would be like withthe Fulham fans going crazy at our return to the Prem?  Opening games at home are always brilliant occasions.....

[fulhamfever]

I think the fixture list has been kind to us I fancy staying up if we get a good start October could be a good month for us

Err our last promotion opening game against Palace was not exactly brilliant.

[fulhamfever]

Remember an opening game against Arsenal where we set the record for fastest goal scored at Emirates David Healy 50 seconds we lost 2-1 Sanchez was manager back then

Maybe not but the anticipation, seeing the regulars again, seeing the team I love back in the Prem, it all makes for a fantastic day.  I wasn't really talking about the results; they tend to always let us down!

Yep I was there.  First time at the Emirates and thought (for a few minutes at least) we were going to do the unexpected.  We were prob top of the table for a while that day!

[Mince n Tatties]

Can see us being top of league at Oct 31st.😋

Agree, besides the relegation bit.

[FFCBadger]

I see lower league games are now open to fans. Wonder when they'll open up for top flight supporters?

[General]

Looking at it and seeing our opening group of fixtures, our Christmas fixtures and our end of season fixtures and I'm feeling more optimistic. These are usually key areas and times to work on getting results and will be crucial for us and are all looking manageable against teams that are for the most part middle of the league or teams we should be looking to compete against.
