Brentford not as good as everyone thinks, starting to lose their way. 

They’re mid-table, which is what they’ve always been and where they’ll finish.  For a newly promoted side with their overall talent level that’s a very good season.

Why could Arsenal vs Watford not have been played at 12.00pm today?

 

Instead of 3 2pm fixtures?

I don't really understand why all the Sunday fixtures aren't just televised tbh. 

 

I get wanting to return to Saturday 3pm and the government restoring the laws about that. As annoying as it is, I appreciate the importance to grass roots football that that slot be protected. 

 

But I don't get why everything isn't broadcast on Sunday, even if its just red button or something.

Amazing to think despite our indifferent start to the season, a win tomorrow and we could be joint 5th, in the league cup 1/4 finals and still in Europe going into the final international break.

There really is nothing between 4th and about 12th or 13th other than runs of form.

Or to provide FT balance we could lose to a Leeds team today who sit one place above the relegation zone thus bringing them to within 1 point of us, play a formidable Liverpool team at Anfield and go out at the league cup 1/4 finals and then produce another turgid draw at home to Legia Warsaw knocking us out of the Europa League

Because arsenal played at 12:30 last weekend ?   Or the real reason that it’s televised and they like 2pm followed by 4pm ?

 

the argument is more why isn’t our game at noon??

The thing, 3pm Saturday is pretty meaningless nowadays, matches can be scheduled for pretty much any day / time. When was the last time we played 3pm Saturday, and the time before that?

Maybe because Sky and BT have enough games to ensure they get all the Fat6 duels covered which probably with their followings provide for their profits, the rest are just fill ins. Or Not.

Last weekend shouldn't matter surely and has no relevance?

 

I thought the Everton/Spurs game was on Sky, not Arsenal/Watford, my bad.

Then your question could be why Everton isn’t at midday but that’s not fair on Spurs fans 

 

last weekend is surely relevant -   Asking away fans to get to games at midday two weeks running is unfair ??

Since when did TV companies care about fans though

He's done us plenty of favours over the years. Will be sad to see him go.

They don’t but the additional 2pm k/offs aren’t a tv question today

Jota and Furuhashi both on a brace for Celtic and still 30 mins to go

[Suzie the Fox]

:O 

 

Dean Smith has just been sacked. 

[Number 6]

The merry-go-round continues. Could they be tempted by Nuno? Suspect Lampard will be up there for anything available too.

 

Could see Norwich plumping for Robins as a gamble. Doing a great job this season.

We’ve got a few clubs to play with new manager bounce 

[Sir Shep]

I wouldn’t be surprised with some villa melt saying they should go for Rogers, you know cus they’re a big team like. 

[Super_horns]

They were reported to be in contact with Fonseca last week ..
 

[goody2028]

3 managers gone in less than a week then

[Vindaloo FOX]

I rate Fonseca, he will do well at Villa
