Really confused about your September comment, it’s nothing to do with 3pm kick offs which is what was originally discussed.

Think he’s saying as there’s normally only four Saturdays in September, as opposed to five this year, it would have been almost impossible for there to be four, Saturday 3pm games in any September since one of them has been the international break.

Don’t forget showing games they’d take an ad break at corners only to come back and find a goal had been scored haha ..The only live games on TV going back in the day were the FA Cup final, England Internationals and if an English team was in the European cup final that was shown.

City are playing Red Star Belgrade away on Wednesday 13 December.
The semi final of the Club World Cup is on 19th. As the Palace match in between cannot take place on Friday, surely it will be postponed? Saturday to Tuesday the club would push back on.

More than a bit pissed off to see we have been paired on the same nights as Newcastle.
I was looking forward to watching their games, but couldn’t care less about arsenal and united.

I was also disappointed (and surprised) by that. I was convinced that TNT would have wanted Arsenal and the rags playing on different nights as I would have thought those two attract the biggest viewing figures of the four English clubs.More than a bit pissed off to see we have been paired on the same nights as Newcastle.

I might have watched an Arsenal game or two if they were playing one of the big European names but their group is pretty uninspiring.

Just as a footnote to this, bearing in mind there is a 5.45pm KO time as well as an 8pm, it turns out that on 3 of the 6 Matchdays we play, Newcastle have a different KO time to us, so hopefully I can still catch some of their action too.I was also disappointed (and surprised) by that.

Any idea when these are likely to be please mate? CheersYes, and I think when November picks come out, Bournemouth (H) would also stay at Sat 3pm ... next home game to change for TV is likely to be the Liverpool H (currently on 25 Nov) and then Spurs H (currently on 2 Dec).
