Well, so much for my last post! A lot of effort and we ended up with 3 of 10 matches!! One lesson we learned, and it was a good one, is that Fox will be quick to make adjustments to their schedule when games are canceled. So I’ve heard for Boxing Day Sunday that there is a very strong likelihood of Liverpool’s visit to Blackpool being called off as the smallest side in the Premier League refused to invest in under-soil heating before they joined the big time. So what will Fox Soccer Plus show if that happens? Will it be Everton v Birmingham live instead of delayed at noon? And, if so, will they slot Bolton v West Brom in somehow? Or move Newcastle v Man City up? All I can say is set your DVRs, or sit down and curl up with a blanket and watch live. Anyway, I’m reducing the commentary to almost nil this week, and just letting you have rip at the matches! Enjoy the festive fixtures!!!
****: Must-see. Cancel all other activities. Do not even DVR as even in America you might hear the score!
***: Strong match; worth watching live; DVR a must if you can’t see live
**: Flip through quickly to see the goals, red cards, injuries, and perhaps watch the last 5 minutes + injury time if close
*: Only if you’re a die-hard
