Football season 2016/17

Given that the fixtures are now out, I thought it would be appropriate to start a new thread.
I am also hoping Reading can clinch the play off promotion place - it would help my away game carbon footprint considerably

I am surprised you don't fancy a trip to Sheffield Chris....

Was yesterday the start of Spurs going Spursie? 
Certainly the continuation of Chelsea being Chelsea-ie
Jamie - I would not say that yesterday was continuity from the Old Trafford performance
I'm pleased that Norwich did not entirely capitulate, and the relegation tussle will prove interesting. Villa letting Blackburn win was amusing

It's the morning after St Totteringham's Day, and I'm enjoying a delicious breakfast of mashed Spuds and gloat gravy with lasagne and hard cheese, washed down with a pint of bitter.
Spurs crumble for pud!
It was their Cup Final, and again this year they bottled it. After dining I think I will take a stroll over to The Fighting Cock (emphasis on Cock) forum to witness the meltdown and laugh at the keyboard warriors and Spuds' famously low-wattage fans.
OMG! Not sure I've come down from cloud-nine yet. IIRC we were something like 18 points behind Doncaster at one stage and fretting that we have to settle for the play-offs again. Going into today's final games, where we needed to win and hope that neither Plymouth or Doncaster won, I had turned the permutations over in my mind umpteen times. Like many fans, I feared a injury time disappointment, or if the results elsewhere went our way we would fail at home to Cheltenham. But we went into fantasy-land and thrashed them 6-1.
I suppose if you are offered going to go to the top of the league for just one game in the whole season the one to pick is the 46th
First championship achievement since we won the old Championship in 2003 with Harry in charge and the wonderful Merson and Todorov.
League One here we come.
Listening to the radio when these fixtures came out, it was interesting that all the pundits were blithely carrying on as if the old order (Man U, City, Arsenal, Chelsea) had not been disrupted.
All the "important" matches were these four plus Liverpool. No mention of the likes of Spurs, Leicester or WHU.
I suspect the newspapers will be the same.
But is the old order still tenable? There is no proof that Guardioloa or Conte will adapt to thePL, or that Maureen is the right choice for the Mancs.
Everyone has much more money, and, because of Leicester's achievement last year, nobody is scared of the so-called big boys, all the "little" teams no longer "know their place".
It'll be the most exciting, open season ever and the "big boys" and their media supplicants won't have it all their own way. So, at the risk of making ourselves look stupid, anyone got any predictions?
