davieG Posted 22 March 2008 Posted 22 March 2008 Is this just a quirk of the computer or is it something they programme in to ensure it happens, if i remember we had one of these last year. If it is pre-set then it's another nail in the coffin of football where the situation is manipulated to maximise the revenue of the big clubs, kowtowing to Sky rather than the needs of supporters and reflects who they expect to be the top 4 teams in March.
Durnerz Posted 22 March 2008 Posted 22 March 2008 Well i'm looking forward to a great Sunday of football.
davieG Posted 22 March 2008 Author Posted 22 March 2008 Well i'm looking forward to a great Sunday of football. Yep, same here.Beats wigan v bolton. Well your great Sunday of 'armchair' football means that the fans of these clubs have yet more games moved from 3.00pm on a Saturday, but as long as you're ok
Sparky Posted 22 March 2008 Posted 22 March 2008 i think Sky can ask for this once or twice a season , happens every year so gotta be more to it than coincidence
filbertway Posted 22 March 2008 Posted 22 March 2008 Well your great Sunday of 'armchair' football means that the fans of these clubs have yet more games moved from 3.00pm on a Saturday, but as long as you're ok Oh, I bet this sunday will come as a shock to their systems with them usually playing at 3pm ona saturday most weeks
Durnerz Posted 22 March 2008 Posted 22 March 2008 When do United or Liverpool EVER play at 3pm on a Saturday?
davieG Posted 22 March 2008 Author Posted 22 March 2008 Oh, I bet this sunday will come as a shock to their systems with them usually playing at 3pm ona saturday most weeks I'm sure it wont be a shock to the system when they play Chelsea Dagger if we score doen't make it acceptable though - does it? (Mind you it might be a shock if we score )
Joe. Posted 22 March 2008 Posted 22 March 2008 I actually am looking forward to both these games but I think everyone has the same idea of them being total letdowns as per and probably ending up 0-0 or 1-0. Man Utd 1 Liverpool 0 Chelsea 0 Arsenal 0
Simi Posted 22 March 2008 Posted 22 March 2008 When do United or Liverpool EVER play at 3pm on a Saturday? United have had one home game all season played at 3pm.
lildave3 Posted 22 March 2008 Posted 22 March 2008 United v Liverpool 1-1 Not too sure about Chelsea v Arsenal. Probably another draw.
sdb Posted 22 March 2008 Posted 22 March 2008 when aren't these fixtures boring?! 3 goals absolute maximum from the 2 games, probably 1
Sods Posted 22 March 2008 Posted 22 March 2008 Couldn't give two shites about GREAT GRAND SUPER SLAM SUNDAY.
Simi Posted 22 March 2008 Posted 22 March 2008 Couldn't give two shites about GREAT GRAND SUPER SLAM SUNDAY. MULTI BALL.
Finnegan Posted 22 March 2008 Posted 22 March 2008 GRAND SLAM! THERE'S ONLY ONE GRAND SLAM! THERE'S ONLY ONE GRAND SLAM! :scarf:

I can't see it being down to luck. As you say the cash cow that is Sky have manipulated the fixtures for their own gain. Next thing you know we'll be playing sport on Easter Sunday
Head Honcho Posted 22 March 2008 Posted 22 March 2008 £20 at 5/1 for Man Utd to win and Chelsea to draw looks good to me.
sdb Posted 22 March 2008 Posted 22 March 2008 £20 at 5/1 for Man Utd to win and Chelsea to draw looks good to me. where's that??! sounds likely to me
Uncle Albert Posted 22 March 2008 Posted 22 March 2008 When do United or Liverpool EVER play at 3pm on a Saturday? Last week actually.
tartanowl Posted 23 March 2008 Posted 23 March 2008 United have had one home game all season played at 3pm. If true that is a disgrace.
Father Ted Posted 23 March 2008 Posted 23 March 2008 The Chelsea Arsenal game has got 0-0 all over it
