I am fairly sure that was our first away game in the league, 2nd or 3rd game in total but I'm not 100% sure

I know you think theres some sort of consipiracy theory, that utd get home game first,

But you do know the champs always get home games first up, So last 3 season, thats why, and for the majority of the prem, utd have been the reigning champs. so been home first up.

nah 2nd game, a midweek game.

At the end of the day there are 38 games it dont matter who we get first we have to play them at some point. The way i see it its good to get Man U to get them out of the way. The next few games after that i can see us doing well possible wins Vs Blackpool and Wolves and draws/wins Vs Everton and Villa

Hughton's got nerves of steel. he would have to, when his playing career included Spurs.
