Rags get opening ITV CL game

[quiet_riot]

Isn't there some daft arrangement where Sky can't show an English side if ITV are showing one?

 

[Tricky Dickys Right Foot Shot]

when there is a choice why do they have to use the f'in word SNUB instead of didn't choose

Cause "didn't choose" wouldn't get the rags all giddy and give them something to gloat about and make songs about.

YA SNUBBED BY ITV CAUSE CITY ARE A MASSIVE CLUB!!!

Don't see a problem. They're away, we're at home. They've got a much bigger TV fanbase - which we usually take the piss out of them for. Can't complain.

This is good news for the attendance figures on the night at Etihad, but bad news for the brand i guess

Interesting choice made by ITV, although not a surprise. The global audience for united is enormous compared to City's and clearly money is the driving force here.
However, I wonder if the 'impartial' audience is bigger.....and might like to see if MegaBucks City can live up to the hype.
We had better play some sexy football in the next season or two if we really are going to knock them off their (revenue saturated) perch.

not surprising really given the hordes of plastic armchair rags in tv land.
