Leaked Premiership Fixture List?

Drag00n79

According to an Everton site, this is what the Day One fixture list will throw up:

Arsenal v Bolton
Birmingham v Portsmouth
Everton V Liverpool
Charlton v Man City
Fulham v Blackburn
Man Utd v West Brom
Newcastle v Villa
Middlesbrough v Sunderland
West Ham v Tottenham
Wigan v Chelsea

They are officially out Thursday morning. I don't remember a leak before, so it will be interesting to see if it's true. I have my doubts.

By the way, I was only looking cos it was linked from NewsNow ....honest

Wigan v Chelsea would be an unteresting one - battle of the $$$'s. I'd actually prefer to see Pool v Everton a bit into the season to give it some real edge other than the obvious first game of the season edge of course!

I think Sky would prefer to schedule their big games, one a weekend rather than all in one weekend. more pay-per-view money the greedy swine.

I don't think it will bother Sky one way or the other, excitement will be at fever pitch as usual, and they have the power to mess around the kick off times as they see fit.

WEll last year they had up to 4 games at a weekend with at least 2 of them pay per view......need one big game for the Super Sunday when the country usually shuts down except for the pubs....then they can mess around with the other games to suit themselves as which game they want pay per view!!!!

Aload of big games on first day would suit because aload of people then would be more inclined to pay for the full year/half year pay per view!!
