Not exactly a "full" fixture list, right?
It'll be a tough start, but I really like that some of those "banana skin" away fixtures against certain teams in the league (non "Big 4") will be done with by Christmas (e.g. Portsmouth, Blackburn, Villa). I actually don't mind the tough start, since that's when the players will be in prime condition, and there's enough time from the start of the season before we take on Liverpool and Chelsea in September that early-season kinks should be worked out.
