Chelsea, Man U game off as snow wrecks schedule
Soccer, Sports Sunday, December 19th, 2010Only two Premier League matches survived the big freeze in Britain, with games at Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Wigan and Birmingham called off. Arsenal’s clash with Stoke at the Emirates was the latest to fail a late pitch inspection, with Birmingham’s game with Newcastle postponed minutes beforehand.
Wigan’s game with Aston Villa at the DW Stadium was the first to go, followed by the late afternoon kick-off between Liverpool and boss Roy Hodgson’s former club Fulham at Anfield.
Chelsea’s much-anticipated clash with Manchester United on Sunday has also been postponed, as have Sunday’s lunchtime clashes which would have seen West Bromwich Albion’s Midlands derby against Wolves and Blackpool’s hosting of Tottenham.
All the other professional leagues in Britain were ruined by the weather, with only one League One game surviving, no League Two matches going ahead and two SPL games surviving the snow and ice.wp_posts
