Give the fact we'll almost certainly not conclude our business until transfer deadline day I just hope we have an easy couple of opening games, otherwise our late transfer activity may be a significant contributing factor to losing a couple of points like the last two seasons.
Here's a fake Liverpool one:
I have the same theory but different outcome. We usually waste the first few games so I'd rather waste them on games we aren't expected to pick up many points from anyway. Last season we took two points from Saudi Sportswashing Machine(a), West Brom(h) and Norwich(h) all because we didn't have a settled squad.
