    The one thing I've always thought is a bit of a flaw is the Boxing Day/ New Years Day fixtures which minimise travel.
    So for instance that means that MUFC won't travel to Portsmouth or vica versa on those dates.


    Which makes it statistically more likely that that fixture will take place in February when Portsmouths African players are off at their Cup of Nations thing.

    It happened a few years ago and the media people were saying 'its random innit, luck o' the draw etc'.

    That was an interesting read. I'd love a shot at that job for one season, like one of the world's biggest sudoku puzzle.

    Fergie designed the software for this
    • home fixtures after Champions League games
    • Big 4 at home after Christmas
    • No afternoon kick-off's after International / European fixtures

    It's a great system

    Is the season starting earlier this season with the World Cup being on next year?

    Also, will there be more games over Christmas this year?
