This time we are in a far more favourable position that we know the majority of our first team can cut it at Premiership level unlike last season when we had no idea.
This mentality saw west ham and wigan nearly go down. One successful season in the prem does not mean your players are established premiership class players. We have got to be careful and I hope coppell reminds the players of where they have come from and how they need to keep proving it. We will have learnt a lot from last season but I still think its going to be far tougher than people expect. I think sidwell's absence is going to hurt us a lot more than people think.

Not to mention a fit Seol, Sonko not far off, Murts back, Little playing and John Halls available (OK, not to mention John Halls....)
Downside could be Marcus not there for Day 1 (or 2).

Compo's Hat My glass is half full when i look at the opening month.
Man U - Opening day, may be best time to catch them.
Chelsea - Wasn't convinced either time we played them last season. Sure Jose will have one eye on the following game against Liverpool.
Everton - If Johnson doesn't dive and we turn up then we're capable of at least a point.
Bolton - Won up there in April. We'll have to see if Sammy Lee has got them organised by then.
If we play the same way way we did last season, we'll have nothing to worry about.
Also nice to see we haven't got long journeys in December or January when people save their pennies for Christmas.
Pleased with Liverpool away on my birthday also.

1960 So let's see. FA/Prem think Reading are little upstarts who should know their place. How can we arrange this. I know:
Give them the two best teams in England first, so they will get no points and will start to worry.
Give them two tricky games next and, with their self-confidence shot, they might get no points and they will be struggling for the rest of the season.
Oh yes, don't forget them starting and finishing away.
And, assuming our plans have worked and they are struggling at the end of the season let's give them three away games out of the last four.
Sorted!

Except it's absolute bollox! If you knew the process by which fixtures were decided you'd understand that.

Is that fixture process available to all and sundry, DG? Can you post a link on the FA website or similar? I think this myth, if it is one, should be dispelled ASAP to stop Reading fans making tits of themselves on 606.

I'll see what I can find that's in the puiblic domain. If not I'll summarise what I know about it.
