Hoping for no big games first 5 games or so. It usually takes me that amount of time to realise "hold on, new season here. These games aren't pre season"

[King Gizzard]

Just want a home game with all the positivity around the place

Protesters have reportedly destroyed the countdown clock for the 2014 World Cup in Belo Horizonte. #Confeds #protestobh

Yeah. Why are people complaining now? Why didn't they protest when they heard they were making a WC bid?

I think they exceeded the expected budget and used tax payers' money to foot the bill.

Edit: Numerous lists with different first day fixtures on each going around Twitter.

One consistent fixture however is United away at Palace on the first day.
