I will have just come back from an American trip, v Newcastle in December. So I'll chance to be asleep during the game. Suits me!
I’m not going to lie, I find no Boxing Day, New Year’s Day or Easter football pretty upsetting. My wife is going to be fed up of me being at home so much.
didnt spot no boxing day. That's crazy. What's the point of having games Saturday instead of the Friday?
It’s annoying because it’s largely caving to pressure from the bigger clubs (at the expense of ‘legacy’ (eurgh) fans) who then **** off to play extra games where they can in the Far East etc as a money spinner. Not fussed on extra games and exhaustion when it suits.
I'd understand it if there was a midweek game before but there isn't. It's Saturday to Saturday to Saturday. There's absolutely no reason not to make it Saturday to Friday to Saturday. That said, I believe Sky have previously reported that they're able to show all 10 boxing day games this year, so perhaps they're going to move them all to Friday
If my workings are correct (debatable) We play Villa h Chelsea a Arsenal h Mags h All after they've played in Europe before Xmas.
At least 1 September game will be moved too. All of those teams are in Europe, there’ll definitely be a European game week that month
