    Weekend Football: the Liverpool derby and the Pep-Mou Classic

    English football - Friday
    nothing much really. Sheff U v Bristol City on Sky

    Saturday
    12.30 West Ham / Chelsea on Sky
    15.00 Burnley / Watford
    Palace / Bournemouth
    Huddersfield / Hove
    Swansea / West Bromwich
    Tottenham / Stoke
    17.30 Newcastle / Leicester on BT
    A full Football League programme

    Sunday
    12.00 Southampton / Arsenal on BT
    14.15 Liverpool / Everton on Sky
    16.30 Manchester / Manchester on Sky

    Football in the Common Market
    It's actually a crap selection, with the possible exception of Juventus v Internazionale, so you can look it up yourselves and besides, who cares.

    Meanwhile, news emerges from the bunker of yet another stupid kickoff time idea that will fail: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42278119

    Good enough excuse for the likes of Netflix and Amazon to stick their noses into it. Might as well just lift the 3pm embargo and get the BBC/ITV to show one 3pm game per week.

    Probably not going to happen.

    Ugh, I hate 8:45 kick-offs. It's nearly 11pm before I've even left the pub let alone getting home.

    I was thinking that, it's a crap time for Asia so they must be thinking about American social media giants.

    I really don't understand why Netflix and Amazon are trying to get in on Sports. They destroyed the idea of 'Appointment TV' which is why the prices of live sports went up across the board because it's the only thing people will crowd around at specific times which makes it good for advertisers.

    But Netflix and Amazon don't have ads.. How many subscriptions do they think it'll sell because it'll be way under what BT gets and they can barely keep their heads above water.

    They're showing 3pm's here again after a long break of not, and it's great for a boring Saturday.

    It really is time for me to bin my sky sports and bt subscriptions - the top of the table is dull as crap these days and watching West Ham is like having my scrotum slowly basted in acid, but with less anticipation.

    And I don't watch much NFL these days either. Waste of money habit that needs to go before this next round of tv games comes in and there's even more for me to aimlessly subscribe to

    Shame our FA/Premier League doesn't share that motion.

    We're going to get pumped I think. Mourinho will probably call the ref out on something and Fellaini sent off.

    The 3pm blackout is great. I realised this when I went to a Peterborough game earlier in the season. It was a good crowd but at least a third of it (including all the kids) would be watching Man Yoo at home, given the option.

    If the likes of Amazon and/or Netflix do decide to jump on board with this shitfest, I'd imagine they will take Package C and let Sky and BT lol themselves to death with the other packages.

    Yeah well that's probably a better way of looking at it. It would seriously diminish attendances in the lower leagues if there was a proper game on telly at 3pm (which there would be if the channels were scheduling them, as opposed to Stoke vs West Brom).

    This is the order of interest in any football ground:

    1) Away fans
    ----enormous gap----
    2) Local tragics over 50 (and women of all ages)
    3) Kids who are well into it
    4) Sexually frustrated men between 18-50 who shout YOU FUCKING CUNT REF a lot for no reason
    5) OAPs and the disabled
    6) Kids who are there to shout 'waaaaay'
    7) Day trippers
    8) Kids forced along by their dads
    9) Dads forced along by their kids

    I reckon 6 downwards would be seriously at risk if you cancelled the 3pm blackout. It's always people who don't go to games who call for it.

    "Ho-o-ove, Ho-o-ove!"

    Manchester will beat Manchester. With Pogba I think it would have been a great game, without him I'm not so sure.

    PS The 3pm ban is great, but it'll be gone within ten years I suspect.

    I just feel Brighton takes too much of the credit for what is only half hers.

    Saturday
    12.30 West Ham / Chelsea on Sky
    15.00 Burnley / Watford
    Palace / Bournemouth
    Huddersfield / Hove
    Swansea / West Bromwich
    Tottenham / Stoke
    17.30 Newcastle / Leicester on BT
    A full Football League programme

    Sunday
    12.00 Southampton / Arsenal on BT
    14.15 Liverpool / Everton on Sky
    16.30 Manchester / Manchester on Sky

    Swansea-West Brom will probably be a shite 0-0.

    I am quietly confident about Sunday, by which I mean a classic 0-0 is very much on the cards.

    Atsu as well. Murphy looks like he might be alright, but Atsu is one of the few players in the squad who is actually a proper premier league level player (you could easily argue even he isn't tbf).

    Think it will be a comfortable Leicester win anyway. Our fullbacks are hopeless, Mahrez will bum them.

    The contrast between the Saturday and Sunday games is ridiculous. Despite having nothing better to do I don’t think I’ll bother finding a stream for any of the Saturday 3PM games.

    We have Totteringham and Stoke on the 3pm's. Spurs would be half watchable but they're at Wembley so it'll be a dour 1-1.

    That start all came from Crappatoasta being a defensive calamity down his side.

    Oh and a brilliant block tackle from the ref to get them on the counter for the second week in a row.

    I'm seeing this more and more. In Liverpool games, the referee's are so central, they are constantly getting in they way.

    Whoever this proper football man on co-commentary is, he's excelling himself and that Batshuayi hot water bottle was superb trolling of him.

    I've got nothing against the hot water bottle, but you think there would be something a bit more advanced these days.

    This is one of those games you can see coming a mile off where the home team are game raising wankers first to every ball. We'll lose 1-0 and Alonso will be sent off.

    Chelsea should ship the murderer off and replace him with Masuaku in January.
