Let's just say everything goes according to plan but we still get the average five losses before the season's over, to whom and where would you rather lose it?
Tottenham away (so as to contribute to them taking fourth this season and overcoming either Arsenal or the Rags)
Bournemouth away (because it seems impossible to not like their manager)
Newcastle away (because we're bound to lose to them sometime and it might as well be this year so that we can get it over with and continue to batter them for the next 15 years or so before we lose again. Also, I have a soft spot for them.)
Tottenham home (Same as above)
Bournemouth home (because it seems impossible to not like their manager)
FFS where were you in 1981 man? Nobody who lived with the scars of that could ever suggest it be a good idea that fucking Tottenham fucking Hotspur do the double over us!
Let's just settle for maybe losing three somewhere along the way and not to the Rags or Scousers. Or Chelsea. Or anyone twice.
