Boxing Day football

I've just been checking the fixtures list for Boxing Day and there's no premiership what so ever. Is this correct :confused:

EDIT: Turns out I just panicked and didn't look properly

Rich_L · 16 Dec 2009 at 14:39

Is it because Boxing Day is on a Saturday this year, so they are playing the Bank Holiday Monday? Only thing I can think of?

*edit* hang on - from the BBC site

Saturday, 26 December 2009
Birmingham v Chelsea, 12:45
Burnley v Bolton, 14:00
Fulham v Tottenham, 13:00
Liverpool v Wolverhampton, 17:30
Man City v Stoke, 15:00
Sunderland v Everton, 15:00
West Ham v Portsmouth, 13:00
Wigan v Blackburn, 15:00

Newcastle thrashing Sheff Wed is the only boxing day football you'll need tbh.

Stretch · 16 Dec 2009 at 14:49

Yay, woohoo.

I only checked the "what's on sky sports" section on the sky site

Excuse me if I have a little party

I definitely hope we thrash you now then, haha.

I wanted to go but we sold our tickets before a public sale I think (just season ticket holders going), should be a big crowd though.

I think it will just me the season ticket holders at Wednesday tbh, were not playing well, no manager, slipping down the table all too easily

On a plus side! I have applied to the managers job
