Google Football (my label not theirs) makes it easy to find out the next fixture for a chosen Premier League club. Just type in 'Arsenal' or 'Chelsea' or another and Google will serve up their next Premier League fixture at the top of the results. It is also clever as it will serve up the same result even if a variant on the name is entered eg 'Manchester City' or 'Man City' both produce the correct fixture.
Google Football can't do it for all Premiership teams though. 'Stoke City' works but 'Stoke' doesn't.
'Hull' doesn't work but 'Hull City' does:
'Portsmouth' only works if you type in 'Portsmouth FC':
and neither 'Bolton' or 'Bolton Wanderers' return results, the only way to get it to serve the correct fixture is if you type in 'Bolton FC.'


I don't know how long the Google Football fixture service has been available but it's an interesting (and useful) use for the Google OneBox functionality - I hope they extend it to include Championship clubs soon!

How very sad, but very true.
