Swansea City v Manchester United
Manchester City v Newcastle United
not bad i guess

It could either be a great or nightmarish start for us.... lol. But this will give us an easier run-in later in the season.
^well we lost the first game of the season last year and still won the league by 11 points.. i wont be nervous regardless of how we start because the team's got good experience, character and ability, and it's a looong season... i just want to watch some decent games all ready!!
but i do think it's better to have the tough games spread out so the players don't get complacent for easier games. i want it such that the players want to perform against easier opposition so they have a better chance of getting picked when the big games arrive.

I'm not talking about the first game alone mate, I'm thinking of the first five or six! Lol. But like I said, there's pros and cons of having a tough start to the season.
yeah i understood you, i am just making a point. we didnt start well but we were consistent most of the season and it paid off in the end
Yeah, we're notoriously slow starters haha.
This is not football related, but I will post it here so everyone( most club fans) can see it. I just found it so interesting and odd at the same time.

I strongly recommend listening to the Co-ownership part of this podcast it should be implemented more it really opened my eyes to how some of the clubs in Italy are balancing out because of Co-Ownership deals!

So is Reina really leaving Liverpool? Cuz, if and when Mignolet joins, I put my money down that his going to take that No.1 Gk position from Reina, after the season his had compared to Reina's. If Reina was to be offloaded were would he be headed?
MLS?
+1
Barcelona or Napoli
That's the main reason we're getting Mignolet, is cause apparently he's looking to go to Barca/Napoli.
But then again, there are also rumors that we will sign Mignolet and send him right back to Sunderland on loan.

Why would you send him back? He's been terrific and deserves to play in a bigger club unless Liverpool isn't the bigger club in this case... JK JK!
They're rumors, and we still have Reina.
If the Reina deal doesn't go through, then it's a waste to keep Mignolet on the bench, better loan him back to Sunderland and let him play first team football.
This is all speculation btw, Liverpool haven't even signed Mignolet yet.

City opponent for the opening day of the 2013/14 season is Hull City
Put your money on it the draw is tomorrow

Or United ;)
Open the season with a bang i say, since United are not playing you lot in the community shield, it would be fantastic 1st game of the season United v City, it might compensate for all this wait.

Liverpool is playing Hull.

I will really love the season opener to be United v City
Is there any utd vs arsenal or liverpool opening game? i have a feeling the fixtures are always fixed

@cj
I think we requested the FA to have our first game AWAY because we needed more time to get the OT pitch ready.

In recent seasons Liverpool has played Arsenal in the very beginning stages.
So I'll say Liverpool vs Arsenal OR Arsenal vs Liverpool in the first 3-4 matchdays. :P

@prophet oh well then I wouldn't mind newcastle away for our 1st game.
Liverpool will play Hull, Fulham, and Everton in the first three fixtures.

i feel this summer will see a higher than avg activity in the transfer market due to the new tv deal.
in case you haven't heard, some more details on the new premier league TV deal: I found confirmation that the new tv deal will start 2013-2014 season. every club can expect a boost of at least 20+ million pound from tv broadcasting revenue. The teams at the top of the table can expect a 30+ million boost.
so for example, next season, the team that gets relegated will earn about 63 million from tv deal. the team that wins the premiership will earn between 95 and 100 million pound. This year qpr got ~40 million, and utd got 61 million, for comparison.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/premier-league/10072297/New-Premier-League-TV-deal-promises-100m-prize-money-for-next-seasons-title-winners.html
the caveat however is with the new premiership FFP rules, teams will have to be careful with how they spend that money. currently the biggest expense for teams is their wage bill. something like 70% (compare with 51% in germany) of revenue for the avg premiership team goes towards player wages, but that has to become a lower percentage if clubs hope to break even before transfer sales etc are factored in. so the clubs with good business model (norwich, swansea, arsenal etc) will benefit the most from this new surplus of cash in terms of spending power.

Promoted Sides for EPL Season 2013/14
Cardiff City
Crystal Palace
Hull City
Who do you guys think will have the most successful season next season?
I'll put my money on Cardiff and Palace to finish between 10 and 15 [with Cardiff higher up in the table]
And Hull straight back into the Championship.

If I had to put money on one of the three staying up, I'd say Cardiff.

I think Palace would go down unless they reinforce heavily and with Zaha gone it would be a uphill battle. They hardly have any PL caliber players in their team but they do play some good football.
Personally I hope Cardiff do well
Cardiff will most certainly stay up IMO. Not too sure about the other 2.
A better question is...who will be relegated next season?
I think Palace and Hull are going to be gone for sure and Sunderland a strong 3rd candidate.
On the other hand, Stoke without Pulis is high up there with Sunderland

Dan, I would like for Cardiff to do well too. Them and Swansea each year would be fun to watch.
Cardiff City please

@Teja7, off the top of my head, Simeon Jackson, Atiba Hutchinson, Rob Friend, Olivier Occean, Paul Stalteri, Craig Forrest, Tom Radzinski, and Jim Brennan have all played top flight football outside MLS at some point.
There's tons of others too.
The team could also have had Hargreaves, Jonathan de Guzman, Bunbury and Begovic but none of them decided to represent Canada

Isn't Hoillett Canadian?
^But chose not to represent.
I don't think Hoilett plays National football. Don't know why, he can play for either Jamaica(?) or Canada but he's playing for neither.
@SS - Yeah, those were some good players, Simeon Jackson and Forrest were indeed very good players.
And also didn't know Begovic and Hargreaves had the chance to play for Canada. Hmm

Jim Leighton
Alan Hansen-Willie Miller-Alex McLeish-Danny McGrain
Jim Baxter-Graeme Souness-Archie Gemmill-Jimmy Johnstone
Denis Law-Kenny Dalglish
Manager: Alex Ferguson
Supposedly the best ever XI, but only really had a chance to watch 5-6 of them and all from old school recordings lol

@Teja7, Will Johnson is a decent player too.
And ya, Hargreaves was born in Canada, Begovic grew up here.

Based on Major tournament performances for Italy.
I probable added too much from more recent players though.But its more or less like this.
Buffon
Zambrotta - Baresi - Cannavaro - Maldini
Rivera - Pirlo - Tardelli
Baggio
Rossi Vieri

@KingLucas: Romario and Juninho(the old Juninho) should be in that team man. And for goalkeepers it's hard to go past Taffarrel.
I'll have a crack. ;) Go easy on me Zilch and Jesta, I haven't seen many of the old boys play, so cut me some slack ;)
--------------Schwarzer--------------
Wilkshere----Neil----C.Moore----Marston
-----Zelic-----Warren-----Cahill-----
-----Kewell-----Viduka-----UMM-----
Yeah got stumped in the end ;)

Oy REDDevil98, You forgot the other De Boer, Ronald!!
^ like I said too many names missing can't fit them all lol
