    I see we're waiting for details of which games BT and Sky will be televising in Aug & Sep. I don't expect us to feature in many of them, but imagine ManUre, Chelsea, Arsenal and Citeh to have the lions' share!!!!

    Maybe our game against Bournemouth, but I doubt even that to be honest.

    One of my many moans relates to that very fact JR and I guess it reflects in the likely audiences that those ususal suspects will attract. Having said that, Manure and Liverpool were hardly entertaining last year were they?

    Well possibly, but wasn't that largely due to Stoke?

    Actually thinking about it I reckon they might definitely have our game with Bournemouth, and I can see both clubs getting more media spotlight this season due to the youth of our managers - are they the youngest managers the Premiership has ever seen?

    Must be a close call between them, Danny Wilson and Paul Jewel!

    AVB was pretty young as well, probably younger than Howe is now. Was Paul Jewell that young when he was with Wigan? I guess he must have been

    In the past it's often been games like NCFC v Sunderland / Stoke etc that get selected.
    As they are contractually obliged to feature every Prem side a certain number of times, doing it that way honours those obligations to two 'unfashionable' sides in one hit :emoticon-0101-sadsm :emoticon-0106-cryin

    If I remember correctly, AVB was in his early thirties.

    He was 33 according to Wiki, and with AN just having turned 34 earlier this month AVB still holds the record. Chris Coleman was also 33 when he took over Fulham, and Kenny Dalglish was also 34 when he became Liverpool player-manager in the 80's, so I reckon AN is the second youngest Premier League gaffer.
