Christmas drinks?

[DeKuip]

When do you guys think I can be sure when the Villa - Man United game is safe from not being moved? is there some rule - when its to late to move?

It's a 5.30 kick-off on the Saturday - live on espn.

[Edvard Remberg]

Thanks.

Well, Stu - that could be a good idea.

Has there been a Christmas in the last ten years when we haven't had at least one game messed around with?

[VillaAlways]

The Manure game has really messed me up was supposed to be driving up to Preston directly after for a friends 40th

Thanks, but actually I had Wolves as a win and Wigan as a draw and they reversed. QPR was correctly forecast as a draw. Obv, it would have been great to get that wrong and to have avoided Dunne's late o.g. (The cup games may be confusing, as I was only predicting FAPL.)

4 in 5 consecutive fixtures will now be on TV: Spurs, Swans, Mancs & Scousers. Bolton away misses entertaining (?!) a nationwide audience.

I was wondering why the Arsenal game hadn't been moved, then realised it was a midweek game anyway!

Man. United and Liverpool is to be expected really, the bigger shock will be if we ever play both at 3pm again on a saturday!

Normally go to Stoke but not at 8pm again especially on boxing day when public transport is non existant.

I really think they look at the ticket prices for the December games. 3 AA category fixtures just before Christmas is a real killer and now 2 of them are on the box as well.

Going to be horrendous on the M6!

Absolutely. It is hard to believe that we will send much away support.  Even the most loyal fans will shudder at the thought of getting home after 11.00 on one of the best days of the year for food and drink. Better to stay at home with cold cuts, booze, family + central heating and watch it on the telly.

There'll be better things on the box than Stoke v Villa on Boxing Day evening!

We always seem to be live on TV on Boxing Day, it's always my favourite day what with the King George as well.
