Chelsea vs. Manchester United Postponed Due to Heavy Snow
Although Stamford Bridge does have an undersoil heating system, London's a bit of a mess right now, and so the game against Manchester United on Sunday has been postponed 'for security reasons'. It's actually a bit strange that they're announced this already, since it's currently Saturday, not Sunday and the Chelsea/Fulham area itself hasn't really been hit that hard. However, I'm not too upset by the postponement - Chelsea are still in a low and United are on a high, and so there's probably a better time to be playing against them. I don't think anyone has any idea when the match will be moved to, and it's going to be pretty interesting to try to fit it in later given the amount of fixture congestion in both teams' schedules.
I also suspect there's some cosmic force at work just determined to keep Frank Lampard from starting another match. Ever. Look for the next game to be postponed with drought, and possibly pestilence.
There's a complete list of postponements after the jump.
Arsenal vs. Stoke City
Birmingham City vs. Newcastle
Wigan Athletic vs. Aston Villa
Liverpool vs. Fulham
Blackpool vs. Tottenham Hotspur
West Bromwich Albion vs. Wolverhampton
Chelsea vs. Manchester United
Areas of the UK are under up to two feet of snow, which is really annoying because it never snowed that much when I was a kid.

I cant say I'm terribly upset by this
As much as I was enjoying the thought of beating United on Sunday, getting our form back together before facing them isn’t a terrible thought.

Hopefully it goes better for us than them
I’m terrified by the hints that they may be in on Luis Suarez…that one seems like it may have some legs

For some reason I have it in my head that they have no money
Despite knowing that they do indeed have money.

Imagine if they move it to the last couple of weeks of the season
The entire title race could be decided by two matches against United very late on.

That wouldn't be the worst thing, would it?
If we pick up some reinforcements in the transfer window, have Alex and Yossi back, Lamps stays healthy, and Drogs doesn’t pick up anymore tropical diseases. Although they might have Valencia back, if that were the case. He’s really important for them, I reckon.

I think it would be ok for the team
It would be very very bad for our collective hearts.

Meaningful soccer in May would be a great thing
The Mets are likely to be out of contention by then, so I need something to look forward to

It'd be great for Sky Sports
Squeezed to Song and Bendtner and Song and Nasri oh lovely lovely lovely!

Wake up at 7 for the game (btw idk HOW you west coast people do it every week)
and we’ve been postponed. I think this is a good thing though, allows the team to get back into full form instead of guessing which Chelsea side will show up today.
7 isn't that bad
It’s the lunchtime fixtures (4:45 local) against mid to lower table clubs that are killer.

That's a perk of living on the east coast
7:45 is actually a great time for a start, as I can watch the game and then still have most of my day still in front of me
