Bloody hell. I feel for you lot back home who have season tickets. What is the point of them if half the games are going to be changed.
This is ridiculous, but no surprise to be honest. Football's soul was sold to the highest bidder a long time ago.
Still shit for you lot though. Especially families who have kids at school the next day, or shift workers and for every person who had pre-booked travel.

Monday night 8 o'clock KO in mid January. Travel to and from the game will be a right pain. I've got a milestone birthday that week and may have to adjust plans. Thanks Sky.

Not sure that we have ever beaten Liverpool in a live televised game since Davies scred in that 3-1 win and reo-Coker impressed.

Arsenal at home is strange, always gets moved for TV (can't remember the last time we play them at 3pm on a Saturday at home) and yet more often than not the Emirates fixture doesn't.

Can't stand Monday night games but will probably go to this one as I'll have a spare ticket as my Dad doesn't go to midweek games anymore and my Mother is a gooner so that problem is solved.

The problem is most of us enjoy watching other matches on TV so we can't really have too much to say when it is our turn, however much of a pain in the fucking arse it is.

I can - it was about 5 years ago when the cheeky fecking Goonies were singing "You need more foreigners" at us cos all our team were British and all of theirs were European or South American. It was a fantastic game; all Arse first half and all us second half. A draw would have been a fair result but alas..... 

As for this move to Monday for the Arse game it's really fucked me up 'cos i'm on a course in Leeds that week and there's no fecking way i'll get back in time. Looks like my best mate's got a free seat. A happy sausage I most definately aint! >:(

As I have recently started a new job which involves working Saturdays and Sundays, anything moving games off the weekend is good news for me.
However, I still see Murdoch and SKY as the enemy.
