Is this only the fixtures on Sky? Have BT announced their games yet?

Haven't they announced that Sunderland away has been moved to a noon kick off yet, or is it 1730, whichever is the most awkward?

I thought the Man U match was already at 5:30pm on the Saturday - shows what I know! Peed off about the Fulham match though, was looking forward to that.

Fulham is easy enough for me for it not to matter!  Just checked their website as I am a customer for neutral stand purposes, but not on sale yet.

They've also announced the score, 2-3.

Two brilliant days out totally bollocksed.  I've bought tickets for gigs both Saturday nights and plans are on their arse.  Very, very annoying.

This seems weird

Wed 1st Jan   Southampton v Chelsea   Premier League   15:00   BT Sport 1 / BT Sport 1 HD

I've not been in the UK for New Year for several years. Do they normally televise a game on NYD at the same time as others are being played ?

They can show the game at 3pm as its a Wednesday not the protected 3pm on a Saturday

Positive - I can watch the Fulham game on TV instead of a stream.

Negative - The atmosphere at the Utd game will be flat (unless we're winning, of course). Really enjoyed that fixture being a late kick-off last year, shame about the last 35 minutes!

Sorry for those of you who have had their trip to Fulham spoiled. To balance that a wee bit, I was going to be nervously checking the score by mobile during a company conference in the afternoon, ahead of a Christmas party in the evening. Now, I will be able to watch the whole match the following day with a hangover!

I'm spending the afternoon of the 15th with a bunch of ManU fans. Bloody Hell.

ManUre at home on tv...every shaggin' year. And they either stroll to victory or they give us a two goal headstart and we mess up.

Chico Saturday and I would have been definitely down there but not now. So you and Paul are welcomed to use my refs. Hopefully you kept the details?

I prefer the lunchtime kick offs to the tea time ones. I didn't see the Fulham game change coming. It isn't usually one for SKY. It's not like we are playing United, Spurs or Stoke.

Gutted about fulham, was taking my dad for his 60th. Been planning it for months. Then again, we're just the fans who travel round the country. Who cares about us ?

No one apart from us fellow fans. Those plastic fans watching sky TV in bars or in their living rooms are catered for all the time. I'm suprised attendences are so healthy still in the modern day.

Sky have never cared about the fans and I'm not even convinced they care about football!

Erm, that is a slightly obvious statement. Tesco would stop selling food if it wasn't profitable too.

Tesco don't claim to love food and run advertising campaigns to snare customers based on how much they share their love for it.

Get AlJAZ instead. Cheaper and they show all the games in the prem. I think you can get it in the UK.

Same as you - I really enjoy this fixture . This is now an extended Dad and lad weekend with me and VCTM jnr travelling down on Friday, spending Saturday at Heathrow watching the planes , taking in a curry in Hayes on the night and venturing down to the river on Sunday lunchtime before heading back north early evening with 3 points in the bag (and approximately £300 lighter in the wallet).

The change has put a slight dampener on it time wise because it's a nice place to have a wander and a drink.
