TV's dictatorship over kick off times is only going to get worse as their power increases at the negotiating table.

In the run in, the TV scheduling make's a massive difference, when teams play have massive input on the pressure teams face, there's an argument to be made that the last 10 games should all be played at the same times, but that would never happen in the current format due advertising. It all boils down to money.

Of course it is and its distinctly unfair on the competitors. But why let that get in the way of money making.

 

Old football was best, 3pms, the odd Sunday, no wall to wall 24 hour coverage and the pink echo.

[Barnesey]

Klopp underlined that both Sky and TNT have a great reliance on football. He talked about a “Partnership” suggesting the schedulers should take more account of players’ workload. In that way, everyone benefits: I’m sure TNT would love to have Arsenal, Citeh, West Ham, Villa and ourselves still involved in Europe. A little more consideration and they may well have been.

Playing this on Monday night has given Villa an additional 24+ hours recovery time from the European match last Thursday. Have we ever been afforded that luxury? We were 2pm on the Sunday after the Atalanta home game.

Put them to the sword Reds. 

[Jairzinho]

Can't wait for this.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

8-0 to Villa including a hat-trick of own goals from Nunez. Sack Klopp. We’re shit.

 

[diamondjoe]

Kinda nice for once not having any jeopardy associated with a game. 

0-4 Darwin with 2, Trent and Mo.

Jordan Henderson is baffled as to why online abuse directed at him has fallen 97% since yesterday.

Just play well after we concede first and see if we can push for the win.

Anyone fancy Dracula as our next boss?    think we could do worse. He knows the league and he's no dummy. 

[sir roger]

Think we've missed a trick here, not picking Nunez.

They play a very permeable high line and Darwin would be a problem for them.
