there must be a fixture creator program, just to test how random fixtures can be .......http://www.fixturelist.com/createalist1.php if anyone wants to give it a go
It's the Boxing Day fixtures. There's a chance that some of these will be moved for TV, isn't there? Spurs and West Ham at home on the same day doesn't happen often and Spurs and Arsenal playing in the same city on the same day never happens, IIRC. One will be shifted. Poorly thought out choices, giving it a quick browse.
Those are the most inconvenient Boxing Day fixtures this year. They don't close the Severn Bridge on Boxing Day, do they?
No Mata in Chelsea's starting line-up, again. He won't be happy with that, despite Mourinho's insistence that he's part of his plans. No out-and-out striker for them either and no real holding player, so I guess they're going for a lot of possession and creativity. Be interesting to see how this pans out.
And why no Lakaku, Jose seems to be trying to prove a point and making the position at Chelsea there for Rooney to walk into.
Boring first half. Not sure what Chelsea's tactics were supposed to achieve, other than frustrating Utd, which is fair enough I guess. Maybe Mourinho's waiting til later in the game to bring on a striker to try and win it? Not much for the neutral, though. Poor spectacle.
I am really struggling with Jamie Carragher here. I am sure he is probably talking some sense, but I can't decipher most of what he is saying.
We can understand why he wants to give Spurs a disadvantage to start with. Good grass though. Are you sure no other motive?
Martin Tyler "Maybe geoff Shreeves can get Wayne to tell us whether he's staying or joining Chelsea at the end of the game" . I would wager that there's more chance of him saying that he's leaving Colleen and the boys to go and live with the Dalai Lama as his new lover
If Benitez had gone to Old Toilet, left his most creative player on the bench and ground out a 0-0 draw like that, the press and the fans would have slaughtered him. How long will the special one stay special?
What an awful match. Truly dire. Moyes is still in Everton mode, still hasn't won at Old Trafford and still can't beat any of the Sky 4 and Mourinho was extremely negative, too. Boring.
Utd's first 0-0 at home since 2009 so the standard is dropping already and Chelsea didn't play well. Early days yet but................!
