Jesus Clive. Talk about getting your excuses in early!
17.30 kick off is perfect. Settle down after a big lunch with a beer to start the evening off with a bang.
It is going to be the best ever day3pm is when the FA Cup final kicks off... 5.30>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
talk about getting fans hammered then integrating them... horrific idea
-
Far from perfect. It is traditional to have Cup Finals at 3pm. That's when we play them. This move just makes the Cup Final any other game. Apparently the only reason Chelsea have been allowed to postpone their league game due to be played on that day is because we were due to play Liverpool and Liverpool refused to play. Any other team and we would have had to play twice on a Saturday. In that event the FA Cup Final would have been played at 3 pm and our league game at 12 noon.
A 5:30 kick off gives Liverpool supporters much longer to get absolutely drunk and create disturbances before the game.

General Champions League Predictions
2 penalties go Barcas way after dive after dive. Throw enough shit and some will stick.
Messi will score an outstanding individual goal that makes everybody forget about the dodgy penalty decisions.
Ramos & Pepe will get red carded after the final whistle.
Mourinho cries conspiracy after the game. Complains that a RM player always seems to get sent off.
Robben will disappear like he always does in big games.
David Luiz will try and be Messi and dribble his way out of his own area.
Roy Keane will give Gareth Southgate look after look of sheer disgust.
ITV will have some football legends in the studio and Adrian Chiles will ask them a question more belonging in Heat magazine.
Replay after replay of a Xavi/Iniesta pass.
Mourinho sideline antics.
Clive Tyldesley will praise England's Brave and Courageous John Terry for his lionheart spirit after a goalline clearance.
Commentators collectively orgasm after seeing a piece of run of the mill skill/trickery that happens fairly often on the continent.
Andy Townsend will talk enough cliched bollocks to give Private Eye's Colemanballs about 10 years worth of material. 100% guaranteed to say the following "give the goalkeeper something to think about" "gilt-edged chance" "gained half a yard on him" "keeper was equal to it" "he made the most of that" "he should've closed 'im down quicker" "I think he's looking for it, Clive" "he's always gonna come off second best there" "it was always going away from him" "lucky there wasn't a man there to get the end of that" "you just can't do that in the modern game" and my personal favourite "if there was any contact, then you have to say he was entitled to go down".

There is no such thing as shameful time-wasting if you are a tiny club playing away at a much bigger club.
As for pitiful fan base... they're a small club who are over-acheiving. 'Pitiful' when referring to fans should only be used to criticise a club whose fans can't be arsed to travel to away games or whose home attendance halves because they go on a bad run.
All IMHO of course.
Maybe I should have said shameless, it sounds a little less damning, but they if they'd left it a bit later than 20 minutes into the game to start then they might have seemed a bit classier.
Fair enough, it's hard to get to London for a Monday night game, but 200 away fans at a Premier League game IS pitiful.
I'm always torn about Wigan. It's relatively local to where I'm from, it's a friendly town, I like the manager and his style a lot, but at the same time, it seems like a football club forced on a town that doesn't really want it. That artificiality means I'm always caught in two minds about them.
Still, really hope they stay up, and that Blackburn and QPR go down.

WTF
Is that a urinal?
I feel a bit sick now actually -
A 5:30 kick off gives Liverpool supporters much longer to get absolutely drunk and create disturbances before the game.
Much more time for Chelsea fans to return their ticket and miss the game
-
lpg, don't forget the burgeoning broad use use of the word emphatic to describe basically anything by commentators.
I'm not sure Townsend has any idea what emphatic means. He'll also have no idea how who some senior international is, presumably because he hasn't played in The World's Greatest Football League™

Other than that, good result for Bayern tonight, return leg will be a different proposition all together.
Was listening to Tim Vickery on the world football podcast last weekend, the way he described why loves football was quite special.
