Alan Shearer on Festive Fixtures

Ahead of the festive period Pro Soccer Talk caught up with the Premier League’s all-time leading goalscorer Alan Shearer to discuss the huge number of games coming up and what it was like as a player.

“It was bloody brilliant. If I could have have I would have played a game every two or three days. That’s where I got my kick from and my buzz from, just playing the matches,” Shearer told Pro Soccer Talk. “I loved the Christmas period. You go from one game, and then you rest for a day, and then you go again. I loved the busy period because I just loved going out, scoring the goals and playing in the matches.”

When was the Premier League Festive Fixtures period?

The festive fixtures began on Saturday, December 21 and ran until Monday, January 6.

That is a 17-day period where there will be 40, yes 40, Premier League games.

What were the biggest storylines heading into the Festive Fixtures?

The main storyline was, as it so often was, the Premier League title race. Chelsea had a favorable run over the festive period and had a shot to be top of the table in early January, but did not get the job done. Arsenal also had a kind fixture list and kept pace with leaders Liverpool.

As for Liverpool, they navigated a couple of tricky fixtures to stay top. The surprising group of teams including Bournemouth, Brentford, and Fulham were all pushing to get into the top six, but it’s been Newcastle and Nottingham Forest who have surged up the table.

Tottenham and Manchester United slumped in recent weeks and need to get their European hopes back on track, while at the bottom of the table there was a new manager bump for Wolves while Southampton, Leicester City, and Ipswich are back in the bottom three. This busy period proved to be truly season-defining.
