Sunday 7pm? Oh, fuck off. I'm sure that would be the second time we have had a home game kick off at that time and nobody else has had it once.
It was ridiculous how the Palace game got moved to that timeslot.
When Sky picked it for originally the Friday night they knew full well at that stage that Palace's appeal to play in Europa league was going to fail and they'd be playing a play off 24 hours before on the Thursday.
So o.k just move it to Sunday 2pm like all the other games following Europa...However Sky didn't want to use up one of their pick options for later in the season and moved it to the 7pm kick off as "bonus" option (I had this explained to me months back by the scheduling boffins on the Digital Spy forum).
All that faffing around for the third game of the season.
Also last season Spurs at home was going to be played at 7pm on the Sunday but then got moved to the Friday as Spurs demanded more time to prepare for the Europa league final so we'd be well within our rights to demand the same for Liverpool match if we get there.
Just one Sat 3pm kick off at home is very poor this season. That is actually one benefit of getting back in CL as have to play on the Saturday if we're then playing the following Tuesday and think we had 5-6 Sat 3pms last season at VP.
