Blackburn game now also live on Sky. Guess that's another that will be moved from 3pm. <doh>
 
That is total bollocks - 1930 on a Saturday - that’s just ****e that is,

This (Blackburn) will be City’s 14th live game of the season and its selection means that eight of the Canaries’ last eleven games will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Unlike in previous years though, we have a pretty decent record on live TV that, stretching back to last season, now stands at 15 matches.

QPR will be the visitors at Carrow Road tomorrow for the next televised game with kick-off at 12.30pm.
 
Bolton game against Binners in Doubt due to a critical IT Failure - would that be an Ipswich Town Failure?
 
This is all because they’re desperate to have the game where a team wins the league on TV and they’re hedging their bets on it being us aren’t they
That’s probably true. I was thinking if we were up or win the title continuing the form we are on, Blackburn game would have nothing on it. But as you say, that’s probably what they are doing.

A few months ago broadcaster Ian Abrahams was pontificating about how promotion for Leeds and Norwich would be a bad thing as it would bring even more foreign managers to the Premier League.

Frankly, if that means fewer managers like Pulis with their route one tactics and vapid cliché-riddled post-game interviews (“If we’d scored first it would have been a different game”) then surely that’s a good thing?

A plea from Gary at MFW - You may have noticed that in order to *hopefully* safeguard the future of MyFootballWriter, we’ve started a fund-raising drive using the Patreon membership model. If you think you could help, or if you’re at least intrigued as to what it’s all about, please have a look - https://www.patreon.com/myfootballwriter.
We’ve made a steady start but there’s still some way to go before we can look forward to, hopefully, reporting on City as they mix it with the elite of the English game. We’d really appreciate your help people.
Many thanks

Only just caught up with the Semi final.

I really thought, if Wolves went through, they had the best chance of shocking Man City. I don't think Watford would have much of a chance. Having said that. I slightly fancied Wolves, but not by much at all. I thought maybe extra time a Pens, and then could go either way.

Not disappointed to see Watford go through. They are a good team, and great support.

Going into a Man City Vs Wolves final though, with how Wolves set up and perform against the big teams. I feel that final would be a bit more in the air.

I can't see Watford really touching Man City.

Happy for them to get the day though. Hard working team that play good football. Nice work Watford.
 
What was bonkers, I thought, was the half empty stadium yesterday with Man City playing Brighton

Ok fair play to Brighton they brought more fans than fit in their stadium, but come on!
