Has there been a more important first game of the year? on 10:16 - Jan 1 by Steve_M
West Ham in 2005?
Edit: Yes, definitely that one. There's a whole different history of the last 14 years of we had won that.

Derby in 2015 too. That defeat coupled with the limp performance in the Southampton replay seemed to really knock us and we never recovered our November and December form. Perhaps neither that for West Ham or Derby felt quite as important as today at the time but in hindsight perhaps they were, particularly Derby as at least we went on an unbeaten run again after West Ham.
