And so it begins.
Even while they are all still avec Flip Flops and lying comatose in gutters.
Sorry no that's West Brom (Grealish).

The Premier League fixtures are out.
Obviously written in stone. Sky and BT will respect the list and not move anything around to p*ss off supporters. Like making them travel to the other end of the country on a Monday night.
As if

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

I was trying to work out what teams are the furthest apart but it made my head hurt.... :-)

Newcastle to Bournemouth  364 miles ?

That's where I went wrong, I was thinking it would be a Manchester team to somewhere like Southampton or another coast team. Couldn't think of a team for the Cornwall area other than Plymouth Argyle which seems odd as well that there hasn't been a top flight team from there.

Thanks Snaps, that's an interesting read.
Wow, 779miles (return) for Carlisle to Plymouth on a Tuesday night.
Not Premier league i know but definitely not an away game to look forward to.

Just been reading the match report on the Newcastle v West Ham game on the BBC website, "traffic forced the Newcastle team to walk the last mile to the ground".
Well, looks like Steve McLaren has his excuse already lined up. Does seem weird. Wasn't that long ago a team wouldn't have dared to walk to the Boleyn ground.

He swerved that in the post match interview and refused to make anything of it.

I only just found out Sam Allardyce got the job at Sunderland! Really shocked tbh.

"Chelsea had midfielder Nemanja Matic and manager Jose Mourinho sent off as Andy Carroll's late winner dealt their faltering title defence another blow".
2-1 to West Ham.
That's quite a few unexpected scalps for Upton Park this season. I reckon they have ruined quite a few accumulators this season, beating teams they were expected to lose to.
