My team hardly ever plays on Saturday

Post by devogue » Sat Nov 06, 2010 9:22 pm

I'm seriously fucking sick to the back teeth at how the money men have taken over football and ruined everything, but I checked something today which really shocked me.

I support Liverpool FC and like millions of fans up and down the country I enjoy relaxing on a Saturday night to watch the highlights of my team's match that day. The BBC signed a contract worth £171 million of public money to show these highlights. Saturday is football day - it's about being off work, kicking back with a few beers or glasses of wine, and not having to worry about work the next day, getting kids up for school or any of that shit.

Well, in the 14 weeks since the premier league season started, Liverpool have played all but two of their twelve premier league games on a Sunday, meaning I hardly ever get to feel the elation (more likely despair) of seeing my team on a Saturday night.

Fuck you Murdoch and your stupid fucking Sky and the stupid fucking money and shit. Football was fucking great when everyone kicked off together at 3pm on a Saturday and the nation could enjoy all the highlights that night.

So I'm off home now to watch a load of wank as shit like Bolton and Blackpool attempt to thrill me with their shitness. :nono:

That's because they are in the shitty Euro league and play on Thursdays, so they get an extra days rest. And because they are useless wankers.
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

Correct answer. You'd have Woy and the west complaining about fixture congestion if they had to play satdays following the Europa League.

That plus super sunday loves the big brand names... so United have featured heavily on sundays at times as well.

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

Look on the bright side, Dev. You get an extra 24 hours every week before they lose to "a load of wank as shit like Bolton and Blackpool" (not oversure what grammar you were using there.) An extra day of hope before being crushed under the wheels of a well-oiled Championship side that are spending a brief holiday up in the rarified air of the Premiership. An extra twice round the clock before the brief bubble of your Champions League ambitions are popped into a sticky goo of relegation fears.

Would you really give all of that up just to be like everybody else? :tea:
