I hate Monday night games. The Liverpool change is not so much of an issue but I understand it will be for some.

Horray!!! Not content with us having these new fangled midweek Prem evening fixtures in Janaury and Febuary, another Saturday game early in the new year has been put back to an early evening start. Thanks you bastards, I like freezing my bollocks off on a plastic seat so some fat twats who never go to games can sit on their arses in the comforts on their homes and watch my team shiver to another defeat against the sky 6.

I am seriously thinking this is my last home season ticket. I'll do what my brother does and pick home 3pm fixtures.

Brilliant, both January home games are now mid-week. What a joke.

The fact the OS story doesn't even contain an apology to supporters for any inconvenience caused just about sums it all up.

The game was sold to Sky 20 odd years ago, this isn't anything new.

Thats my point really, I understand that this incoveniences many people but it's guaranteed that a number of matches will move, without a great deal of notice, to evenings and Sundays.

Surely everyone is aware of this when they buy a season ticket?

I can't wait for them to ring me when it comes to Season Ticket renewal time. I shall have a list as long as my arm of reasons why I won't be renewing.

I've gone the way of your brother, too. 3pm on a Saturday is the ideal KO time, which is why it was used for about a century until Sky turned up.

The problem is that they often seem to involve one team in back to back fixtures, probably to be able to provide some continuity as commentary material. On this occasion, it has to be us. I am pissed off about both of these fixtures but while we keep paying Sky, we are all to blame, including us.
