3pm Saturday Fixtures

Only 3 this week: it's a joke.

 

We shouldn't be playing on Sunday IMO.

 

All the UEFA teams have to play on Sunday, because they played Thursday: I can accept that, but that's 5 teams in total this week: Everton, City, Villa, Pompey and Spurs.

 

Why couldn't the Premeir league have arranged that on the Sundays after UEFA games, the UEFA teams just play each other on the Sunday?

So, for example this week: Pompey could have played Spurs and City could have played Everton etc. It would also cut down on fans travelling after a European away trip.

These games could also become the Sky live games, we could still play West ham on TV, but either at 1pm Saturday on Sky or 5.30 on Setanta.

Spot on, also the fact nobody gives a flying fcuk about the fans.

imagine its a nightmare sorting out the fixtures anyway - so to add this nugget in there would be a tough one.

but.... the point of covering one of the UEFA teams on the live Sunday matches makes a lot of sense.

we needn't be on TV or playing on a Sunday. pointless.

OF COURSE WE NEED TO BE ON TV , HOW ELSE WOULD I SEE US PLAY ?

aye but what if all the teams do an everton and get knocked out early doors

 

then they end up with teams playing on a sunday who don't have too

 

plus when the fixtures came out, city and villa weren't in the uefa, they were in the intertoto

Is a joke there will come a day when everygame is on a sunday because of a mix of TV and European games. Only then may the authorities do something about it.

You think youv'e got it bad, I have to go to Mexico to watch it at 4.30am, because all the gary nevilles who own the British pubs here in Southern California will only open up early when the Scum are playing....so it will be Huevos Rancheros, Tequila, and one of those big fat kissing whores for breaky.....

 

 

 

EYES RIGHT......

You are forgetting that West Ham won the world cup. And even though they don't ACTUALLY play in the UEFA cup and Champs League every season they believe they should be treated like any other top European side. So we play them on Sunday. It all makes sense !

Feck me I thought I had it bad driving from chorley to the other side of Bolton just for the slim chance that the game may be on some dodgy channel, how far is it to Mexico from Los angeles?

sorry, but that sounds f?cking great

 

you'll be watching it in a bar like in from dusk till dawn then?

 

"hey gringo, that 3rd goal from davies was f?cking great, tequilas on the house, underlay underlay"

Have you converted any of the locals? Or are they Chivas fans?

It's a great line to use on the wife though.

 

"Right, love: I'm just nipping to Mexico to watch the Wanderers!"

I was thinking something along the lines of

 

Friday 20:00 (game 1)

Saturday 12:30 (game 2)

Saturday 17:30 (game 3)

Sunday 12:30 (game 4)

Sunday 16:00 (game 5)

Sunday 20:00 (game 6)

Monday 20:00 (game 7)

Tuesday 20:00 (game 8)

Wednesday 20:00 (game 9)

Thursday 20:00 (game 10)

 

Obviously the Tues/Wed/Thurs games will be defered in favour of European games when applicable, but fixture lists will be "re-addressed" on a monthly basis, and the schedules arranged to suit television audiences. Naturally, during the winter break (2 weeks) games will be played all over Asia and the US, meaning really daft kick off times.

 

I would also expect Richard Keys to say something along the lines of....."to vote for which match you want to see live next week, press the red button now, the results will be given after the final whistle of "West Country Pirates" v "East Midlands Warriors"

didn't need to convert any of our Mexican brothers, they were all instant fans when Senor Borgetti played for us, had to have a word with one young lad who showed up with a snide replica shirt with Menchater Unitad on it...laugh ? I thought my legs would never dry !!....the border city of Tijuana is only 120 miles from L.A. massive drug war going on there at the moment, another 20 bodies found this week, but hey the beers cold, the taco's and the women are hot, but most important the satalite reception is clear

Thats what you did with the bugle horn then, was remininsing about our paddock days last week with an old mucker of ours- the guy who now works at Bolton Hospice he sends his regards.

Tell him to look after my mum she goes to the hospice on Fridays for her dinner, a check up and to sit in the vibrating chairs !!!!.....her name is Elenor Joan.....I'm almost sure the bugle is in the back of her closet, wouldn't get through the turnstile with it these days, I had it over here when Stuart Lee, Seamus McDonough, and David Hogan were playing indoor footy....it used to shake the building...was asked to "Please refrain"

sell your soul to the devil and all that
