Did anybody notice skys new levels of fixture mabipulation according to their star commentator during todays match v West Brom.
I am sure I picked up during Martin Tyiers constant mumblings that Leicester have a difficult start to the season with 4 of their first 6 matxhes aginst last seasons top 7 teams ( actually its top 6 unless theyve also moved Everton to earlier in the season) amd the other 2 are against newly promoted Brighgton and Newcastle United.
Now I know sky are at liberty to dictate what time and day of a weekend you play but didnt realise they could move a fixture from December to early season ( December being when we are actually scheduled to play the Geordies). The other first 6 game is Huddersfield.
But who am I to dispute what skys maestro says.
Unless there is something I dont know or somebodys movedHuddersfield to the North East

If your boss asks you to re-arrange a meeting, you'll probably do it.

You'll still be playing the same 19 teams twice over the course of a season. What's the big deal?
A few good results could fill the squad with confidence and put you on a good run up to the Xmas period

Well, it is still 4 of last seasons top 7. They would have still be correct if they said 4 of last seasons top 11 though.
Obviously they are trying to promote a product where competition at the top is greater than ever. Strange thing to rant about really.

Poor old Spurs fans have a sunday lunchtime kick off in Newcastle !

Why are you surprised. They OWN this league. They've made it. Sky's manipulation of the English league has shaped modern footy. They can do what they like.
