The fixture list for next season is out and Arsenal have the toughest start amongst the other top 6 teams. If Arsenal can get atleast 20 points from the opening 30 games then we would have do very well as there are some tough games to start off with.
The start of the season is always a very important time as you need to get points on the table early on to give you confidence to carry through the season. If we have a terrible start in our opening 10 games then we are in for a very long and hard season.
The beauty is, we are getting the big games out of the way nice and early and if we do very in those games then the other teams around us going to have to play catch up.
Here are Arsenal’s first 10 games of the season:
13/08/2011 Newcastle v Arsenal
20/08/2011 Arsenal v Liverpool
27/08/2011 Man Utd v Arsenal
10/09/2011 Arsenal v Swansea

01/10/2011 Tottenham v Arsenal
15/10/2011 Arsenal v Sunderland
22/10/2011 Arsenal v Stoke

What do you make of this start to the season and how well do you think we will do?
That’s possibly the most difficult fixtures to start with
