After my Ipswich own-goal Ive decided to stop forecasting fixtures.
In future I will stick to forecasting results.
Love the fixture list : Arsenal don’t have a REALLY hard league game till the end of November.
By the time they get to Anfield they will be top of the table and ready to avenge that 4-0 last season.

Even I’m not cheeky enough to predict beyond the first 15 games.
When I see Arsenal’s Champions League schedule I may have to change a few of these scorelines.
