    Will be great to see Sky try and hype it.

    Is a great away day for Citeh fans at the seaside in August, but that doesn't help the neutral.

    Am I the only one that really prefers the PL when we aren't in it?

    I saw this morning that Sky are trying to add a 7:45 pm fixture to the Saturdays. That isn't going to go down well.

    Great for neautrals, **** for fans.

    Actually on second thoughts it's not great for families, if you're staying in that should be family time. Bad idea.

    I have zero interest in it. Last time we weren't in the league I didn't watch a single MoTD or live game.

    I'm the same. I'll watch the 'big' fixtures when we aren't in it but will pass on most others.

    The only team which could be classed as a big match for Sheff Wednesday are Real Madrid.

    Thank you, it's taken a lot of effort to reach that standard of physical greatness.

    Ha, good planning. The Spurs home game (at Wembley) against Burnley, has been scheduled for the day that Wembley host the Challenge Cup Final. You'd think someone might have spotted that one. <doh>

    I reckon the Silva honeymoon at Watfud will soon be over.

    To generate any interest what so ever I might bung a wager on who's going to win the bastard.

    Think I'll got for Citeh.

    Brighton vs Man City will probably be the TV game on opening day IMO.

    "Very important game, difficult game, is important to respect the Liverpool because they have good players but I stay here to play good football and improve the players, improve the mentality and very important win the 3 points"

    if I were a betting man I'd have Watfud in the bottom three all season...I am not saying that out of spite, just think that is the way it will be.. I hope Marco does a great job, but I can't see them surviving.
