Let's see how much we get shafted when the fixtures come out though ��
    Celtic & Hearts/Motherwell at home will be my prediction.

Let's see what Tam can do with another year under his managerial belt. With hopefully a couple of decent strikers. With a January window where he doesn't have to sell half the squad. My big concern at the start of the season was would he have the cahonies to turn it around if things went t!ts up and he did. It took a while, but he turned it around. I'm happy to stick with him and see what he can do in the summer and beyond.

    If we even get three home games that is. But I reckon you're probably spot on. We have a good record against County and have beaten Motherwell at home twice this season so all in all it could have been worse. Would have preferred Huns at Home and Celtic away as they will beat us regardless but Huns don't like Tannadice this season.

    I'm in full agreement tbh

    I'm not a great lover of all these extraneous appts but perhaps a Director of Football, may compliment Tam's coaching. I was not over enamoured with the initial appt of Tam; but credit where its due, like the football or not, he has to be given credit as does Liam Fox for reaching top 6 and potentially beyond. Ogren and Ashgar backing cannot be overlooked either, although the latter appears to be a marmite character. As long as Utd continue to improve and hopefully prosper; i'll support whoever is in the chair (within reason) and it will always be Utd for me even if we end up nose diving!

    I meant Celtic and either Hearts or Motherwell. I doubt we'll get three home games.

    Yeah, but we should though. Imagine the outcry if the Huns were to get one less home game than their sister, or vice versa. You're right though, won't matter a **** if it's only us. If we only get two home games then please let it be County and Well

    The only thing we're guaranteed is the Huns away and the Mhinks at home imo. Celtic are due 3 home games & 2 away games, and with the teams in the top 6, it lends itself perfectly to them having and even 17/17 split playing the correct amount of home/away vs the other 5 teams. Everyone else we've played twice at home so Hearts, Well or County will have to visit the Deech a third time. All, imo of course. 😂

    It's all about those two tbh, we will get what we are given and nothing will be said. Motherwell at home is the very least I'm willing to accept

    We had 3 away and 2 home last season so we SHOULD get it the other way round this time. You just know we won't though...
