Apologies for spamming the board with, "Ta's".

Thanks for that

I suspect it may be to accommodate broadcasters around the world as not all countries have put the clocks back like in the UK. Here in the States, we don’t put our clocks back until November 5th so by making it 3:30pm instead of 4:30pm it keeps our viewing time the same. Come on you Blues!!!

It's at the request of the police to apparently stop trouble outside the ground and in the city centre. As if moving it forward an hour is going to help

As a newly crowned Canadian, all I can say is, "Sorry".

Looks like Casemiro is out. Not sure if that's necessarily a good thing though, as he's on the decline.

Hmm, he seems to have the knack of scoring the odd important goal for them, so I’ll take that news as a positive I think.

3 things I fear today

1. the ref
2. var
3. the long ball

Dave Bassett from Wimbledon approves this post.

Didn’t know where to post this..

Obviously wrong. We know at least 15 players want to leave our dismally unsuccessful club.

It's a good thing. He's good on set pieces and does a decent job. Also Tierney would allow him to kick fuck out of our players like he did in the cup final. Don't breath too easily they have the thug McTominay to do the kicking.

The article previously posted states “The decision was made after discussions between the two clubs, local authorities and broadcasters Sky Sports.”

You may not be aware but Sky is owned by Comcast NBC Universal and NBC has the broadcast rights in the USA, meaning that they have a big say in proceedings.

The police have the final say in kick off games in England not the broadcasters

I always hate the build-up to a derby, especially at Old Trafford. Would rather it be played at 12.30 just to get it out of the way.

Amen to that.
