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

      Fulham probably closest, and that is on, so no, I think it is down to frost anyways.

      Think about the maths. Gordon needs to get 4 points against utd for you to break even. Not likely.

        If it's a long term move, it'll probably get you 2 back from the 4 it costs, so if you want to do it anyway, you should go for it...

      Yep means you can do a different transfer next week so the hit is spread across a couple of games. He's likley to get 3 or 4 points today I think.

    Stuck with captain this week, who to choose from Nani, KDavies, Silva, Dunn or Bale. Not sure I really like any of those options, would be Nani but with this flu thing have become a bit nervy. Cheers

            Seriously though - Sky, BBC, everyone uses either BLA or BLK to describe one or other of these teams. I don't get it.
            We were discussing it in August, it just surprises me that it's still not been altered.

            bbn/bkp is my preference.
