The new Barclays Premier League fixture list will have been well received by Hammers fans, because for once the club hasn't been handed a run of fixtures against the top six teams to start the campaign with, partly due to the fact that West Ham ARE in the top six themselves!
Not only has the fixture computer been 'kind' by not handing out a punishing initial schedule, with that dubious honor going to newly promoted Norwich City, but also Hammers have been handed a home fixture for Boxing Day. Of course the fixture could be rescheduled in order to avoid overloading the Westfield shopping centre at Stratford on what is traditionally a very busy day, although that should not be so much of an issue with many people now electing to do their Boxing day 'bargain hunting' on line instead.
All in all, there doesn't appear to be a particularly galling sequence of fixtures, so for once the 'super computer' has done the club proud, although it should be noted that many of the fixtures could be rescheduled due to Hammers' 'European commitments', now how good does that sound? - Ed

Yes Nev, it looks as though we are not really stepping foot out of London over the Festive/New Year period. Watford is as far as we go.
