Boxing Day Dugout Discussion

With the game between Fulham and West Ham at 12pm, today’s Matchday Surgery has turned into an early Dugout Discussion. It’s essentially the same thing however, just follow this link to our chatroom for pre-deadline discussion.

I’ve no team news to bring you yet for the game at Craven Cottage, but unfortunately I do have a couple of postponements to notify you of…

  • Blackpool Vs. Liverpool – OFF

It was always going to be the most likely Premier League game to fall foul of the weather, and that has proved true. A frozen Bloomfield Road pitch is once again responsible for the postponement.

  • Everton Vs. Birmingham City – OFF

Having passed the “key test” live on Sky Sports News yesterday morning (yeah, I was watching Sky Sports News on Christmas morning), this cancellation comes as somewhat of a surprise. The reason for this game being off is “due to the adverse weather conditions in Liverpool overnight the stadium is not in a fit condition to stage a Premier League football match”, as given on the Everton website.

If any more games are called off before the Fantasy Premier League deadline, I’ll update this article and announce it in the chatroom.

Akers Richard or Akers, as he is known, has been regularly haunting this site since July 2008. He is young and foolish, take what he says with a pinch of salt. Follow them on Twitter

      Lets hope so from my point of view(Arsenal supporter)

      Knowing my luck Chelsea will win the game even if Drogba gets a red card and misses a penalty.

    Alright all,

    Thought I'd post something a bit different during the 'lull'. What are people's views on FIFA vs Pro Evo? I've always been a pro evo man but my mates have converted to FIFA over the last two years, they say it is much more improved.

    Is it now all about FIFA?

      Played the demos of both 11 versions, and Fifa was by far the better game. Now I have Fifa and am loving it so far.
