Saturday at 3.00, suits me. When did we suddenly start being disappointed our games aren't shifted to suit T.V.

Probably when there became so many more of us, me included, who watch our club remotely rather than attending games, there are fucking millions of us now. Personally it doesn't bother me but I'm sure some of my fellow armchair dwellers have reasons for wanting times/dates to be switched. If I were still a matchgoer I would definitely want 3pm Saturday as often as possible, it's tradition innit.

Just much easier for me to travel for a Sat afternoon game and get home, than any rearranged times.

All though we could not play on Sunday - because of Tuesday match on BT - it might be that having picked Arsenal - if they wanted our match it would need to be on the Saturday at 5.30pm but the Millwall match is a better fit having already gone all PL on Friday evening. But I'm sure there were other more interesting matches that could have Sunday evening slot than Chelsea.

So the remainder of the big 6 all on except us.
Same in the last round with the exception of Chelsea.
Seems biased to me.

There's a general negativity from all parts of the media. Today BBC Friday gossip column mentions us once saying KdB was upset at being substituted. Metro' s Colin Murray has a dig at Pep for not playing enough youths in the Burton game, even though most had played the day before at Rochdale. It will take a long time before we get our ex players into the media.

But maybe that's the problem?
The players we have today will have no need to go into the media and be pundits like the players of yesteryear. The money they earn now dictates that. Yes you will always get a Gary Neville or even a Frank Lampard but as what I would call your average 'day-to-day' pundit who just missed out on the real big money in the Premiership so need and want the media work they will no longer be around.
Yes we have Richard Dunne and Andy Hinchcliffe - but listening to Andy Hinchcliffe's commentary against Burton the other night apart from one quip he made about the 10-1 against Huddersfield you would have never had known he played for us and was a terrace legend.
I have no idea what the answer is but unfortunately I can't see it changing any time soon.

Do you think Dunne is reliant on the money he earns as a pundit?
