If anything they’ve just ****ed the fans over so they can’t go and watch the traditional Boxing Day game. Hurts my head.
That's exactly what they've done. And they've probably decided to screw over fans of two smaller clubs, rather than upset the big boys. Or is that me being paranoid?
As a neutral who wants to come in from work and watch saints v west ham on Sky? Not many I’d imagine. And for people who are back to work today ain’t likely to be able to get to the game anyway , and if your not back to work your driving back home after the holidays . Typical ****ing Sky , and they’ll probably begin the show talking about Liverpool anyway, so mayaswell just scrap our game and replay the full highlights of Liverpool v Newcastle instead . **** off.
I don't know, Arsenal fans are getting pissed around quite a lot this season with long trips they can't get back from (Blackpool away in January being a late KO, for example) and I don't think there's really much thought behind whether it's fine to 'screw over' the 'smaller clubs' rather than 'the big boys'. Think it's just the way it goes, regardless of who it is.
I’ve just been checking KUMB... Looks like we have already lost this game! They seem quite certain they will get the win.
Yeah the people who watch games on TV far outweigh the ones who go (obviously) so they are going to take priority. Big teams will be screwed over far more than we will because they have way more fans so will be on TV more.
