Worth watching for the youth goals, if nothing else. Donley. <yikes>
That and some proper commentary on the Ndombele finish.

WTF are the club doing about this !!??
There is NO REASON WHATSOEVER, competition (League Cup, UEFA)
or potential fan fisticuffs, for either to not be played on saturday.

You would prefer we didn't get selected for the main pick TV match?
What on earth are the Club supposed to do about a binding agreement between PL and Sky which gives them the right to move matches to Sunday? And why does it matter?

Demand an EQUITABLE share of "main pick" games on SATURDAYS ??


"And why does it matter?"

I refer you to the 2015-16 PL season run-in for Spurs,

I refer you to the 2015-16 PL season run-in for Spurs,
The Man U match was on Saturday.
Why do you think it made a difference in 2016.
Does the PL contract require an equitable share of matches on Saturdays? If not how can we demand it?

"Why do you think it made a difference in 2016."

Why do you think it did not ??


"Does the PL contract require an equitable share of matches on Saturdays?"

Dunno.


"If not how can we demand it?"

By asking for it ??
 
Our next Saturday game is on New Years Day at Watford.
After that it's home to Wolves on February 12th, unless that gets moved.

Again. no UEFA interference, nor League Cup (the SFs would
be on a wednesday so a saturday PL KO would not be fatigue -
although I'm sure someone will go 'extra day rest' blah blah blah) .

So the only remaining reasons for not having Spurs on a saturday are :

- potential rival supporter fisticuffs
- TV broadcaster c**ts

You seem to be claiming that we are being treated unfairly so I think it is up to you to provide evidence that playing on Sunday is harmful. I can't see any reason at all why that should be true.

You have already been told : the run-in for the 2015-16 season,

Spurs played FOUR consecutive sunday/monday games AFTER
Leicester, meaning that Spurs started each KO the same number
of pts behind, never once being able to close the gap and try to put
mental pressure on the leaders.

Contrast with 2016-17, where Chelsky and Spurs were equitably
given saturday/sunday fixtures in the final third of the season
(aided in no small part by Spurs early exit from the EL KO stages) ,
and Spurs were able to hold the gap to 4 pts until the game in
match week 36 (where a win would have made a temporary gap
of 1 pt) .
 
I'd assume that Saturday games would be more popular and make more money.
I don't know if there's any evidence to support that though, to be honest.
