This makes it so much more real! If any of us were still pinching ourselves, this is the proof you need: the Premier League fixtures for the 2000/2001 Season. We kick off with Spurs Away, then Man U at home. Not bad eh? We finish off the season with somewhat poorer opposition Middlesborough (Away), Coventry City (Home), Charlton Athletic (Away), Manchester City (Home) and Derby County (Away). Make of that what you will.
