Would love it to be Thursday...............

I wouldn't - meetings at work mean I'd almost certainly have to miss it, and let down the car full too!

Not sure City want to play Thursday night and then Saturday at 3? Liverpool are not the only team with weekend fixtures!!!

I wonder if Tisdale sees it as a "high quality problem to have"?

I booked Tuesday and Wednesday off work not even thinking that Thursday was a possibility.

Liverpool are playing 12.45 on Saturday. Away at Norwich.

Leic/Spurs has moved to 20th (from 19th) on BTSport website too. Does this suggest that BTSport are showing their game not ours?

 

[muppetdodger]

no, bbc are showing that game

And sadly symptomatic of the malaise that causes some TV decisions here - for example every single Man United FA Cup tie being broadcast live for the last 11 years. Portsmouth vs Ipswich (for example) has all the ingredients to be a far better tie than Liverpool vs Exeter - League Two renaissance club Portsmouth vs a club two divisions higher with all the potential for a "shock".

I appreciate BT needs to chase global revenue and will thus look to include the biggest club possible even if it's not exactly a plum tie, but the BBC should be shamed in this respect as their charter makes explicit their remit which is NOT chasing ratings/revenue through their broadcasting. To choose Leicester vs Tottenham, a match likely to be two sets of scratch sides either side of them playing each other tonight, is lame-brained.

The Spurs v Leicester game with the seconds on parade was a cracker of a game though Jason.
