Fixtures.

What that fixture list says to me is that we have to get out of the starting blocks quickly.

Frankly, we need to win our first 6 home games.

No pressure, lads.

I thought it was 3-3 but it was definitely 1-1, have we had another 3-3 game with Palace? 

Pretty sure we did in the Dean Ashton/Andrew Johnson era

Just checked and the other game was 3-3, towards the end of the season.

the one with the cheating diving johnson had an impact...

bizarrely we have to go back to 1991-2 for the last time that both us and palace were in the top league and for neither of us to be relegated - the last 4 times  we have both been in the league together at least one of us have been relegated.  Twice both we relegated - two seasons ago it was just us and in 1992-3 it was just them

Oops, shoddy picture cropping on my part!

( Fixed now)

And looks like we are having the whole of December off too!

We have to hit the ground running really. Those first 5 games (with the probable exception of Southampton away) are all 'winnable'. I remember thinking after the fixtures came out for our last season in the Premier League, that we're going to have to make sure we're safe before the final 4 games. We weren't and from then on we stood no chance against Chelsea, Liverpool, Man.Utd and Arsenal. This season I'm thinking the same, that if we're not safe before our last 3 games then we'll be in real trouble.

Our first 6 home games though are against Palace, Stoke, Bournemouth, Leicester, West Brom and Swansea. We really don't want to be dropping too many points there.

Opener was 1-1. We had that 3-3 later on that season where Andy Johnson dived for a penalty.

That fixture list looks pretty kind, the first 38 games all look winnable.

This dive?
