Lambert gone from villa. Shame - can see a new manager bounce and them getting out of bother. Get Benteke fitibg and they'll be ok.

Bottom club now gets an estimated £99m vs the current £80m....

 

From the Independent...

Or Super Mega Triple Double Extra Bacon Awesome Sunday, as Sky once considered branding it for Aston Villa thrillers. The big news is thatSky have kept the two Sunday afternoon games, including Super Sunday.

Bear in mind throughout all this that the TV companies, of course, get to choose which matches they show, but obviously everyone wants Man United v Liverpool, Arsenal v Chelsea and QPR versus the creeping sense of hopelessness. Thus, all of the agreed packages have included SOME but not ALL first picks.

Sky Sports will have the game at 4pm or so – this package has a lip-smacking 18 first-choice matches, so expect the biggest games to continue in this slot.

They will also show the earlier game at lunchtime. Nothing doing for BT on Sundays.

Friday

Sky have paid 5.136 billion for all their packages and will now show live top-flight football on Friday nights. There will be at least 18 games on a Friday night. This package was bundled with Monday nights…

 
 
Monday Night Football

...which will still be shown on Sky Sports 1. The programme that introduced the Hairy Handed Richard Keys to the nation and is now so expertly pundited by Gary Neville and Jamie Redknapp stays on Sky Sports 1.

Saturday

Whether we like it or not, the idea of football on Saturday’s is still mired in the 1980s, because people in the olden days believed that football on a Saturday afternoon would stop people going to the game. So they went to a pub with moody Norwegian satellite TV. Catch up, granddad!

Sky Sports and BT Sports have done a Saturday Switcheroo. Sky Sports show the game that kicks off the weekend by kicking off at 12.30.

And then once everyone has come back from the ground/from the shops/from the hypnotic trance of watching Souey too early in the morning, then it’s over to BT Sport for the 5.30pm kick off.

The much less good days of the week, aka weekdays

There was a small package (stop it) of six weekday matches and then eight Saturday matches, but there were only two ‘first picks’ up for scrumps in this section.

Bank Holidays

Last and sorta kinda least, the package for eight Bank Holiday matches and six Saturday matches has gone to BT.

So what does it all mean? Well, it means that Sky have won packages A, C, D, E and G below and they paid an astonishing 5.136 billion to do so. Talk of a new player in town by, and about, BT may have been exaggerated...

The thoughts of Eurosport or whoever muscling in has been curtailed for now. That's what paying ten million per match gets you.

 

 

Knew the Friday nights would be replacing a 3pm rather than a Monday night. Depressing really. The extra money hasn't strengthened the league in the slightest in the last few years.

 

I as a fan would be a lot more forgiving if it meant ticket prices were to come down but you can bet that they won't. Nice to see some of the big names on even Sky themselves calling for it.

Burnley are looking the better side here..

They'll only deserve to stay up if they finish 17th or higher.

I'll remember this if/when we get relegated and a majority on here keep bleating on that we don't deserve to be relegated.

Paul Merson sticking up for Pearson:

Said words to the effect of: If Pearson was sacked i'd be shocked. Leicester have been in every game and performed for him. Unlike Villa and Lambert

Paul Merson talking about Lambert being sacked and it was expected.

Then said he would be shocked if heard that Pearson got the sack as Leicester have been in every game, we're creating chances, we're just not scoring them. He finished by sayinng that's not the managers fault.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Indeed, he seems to be aware... we have played well just individual errors have cost us dearly...

Many won't be bleating, we'll deserve to be where we are after 38 games.
