That is mental.

 

[Jeff]

Bollocks. I can't go to the Swansea game now, and the Southampton and West Ham games will involve an overnight stay. ****s.

 

[camberwell fox]

Wow, we are popular.

Does anyone know how many times we have been televised live this season, and what it means to the club financially?

 

[SJN-Fox]

Including these I think it's 13.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Obvious given the title run-in. Now we see why the big clubs get all the TV time! Will give us a nice TV-income boost at least

 

[Jeff]

Will give us a nice TV-income boost

It won't give me a nice TV income boost.

 

[Motown Fox]

If the end result is the same as 2013-14 then we'll all be happy.
Hardly one Saturday home game at the end of that season either.

 

[camberwell fox]

The club should now really be looking closely how they can help to ramp up the atmosphere and 'appearance' profile of us during all these televised games...

 

[homer]

Holy shit

What a feckin' nightmare

 

[Real Sharapova]

What a crock of shite. I was going to the Sunderland game with fellow London Supporters, not possible now unless I travel up the night before and stay on the Saturday night. Bollocks.

 

[homer]

Saturdays are for losers.....

The club should now really be looking closely how they can help to ramp up the atmosphere and 'appearance' profile of us during all these televised games...

Will this mean that Bernie will be banned.

 

[homer]

Will this mean that Bernie will be banned.

No, but alex will no longer be allowed to wear his leather chaps with the arse cheeks cut out

Thank feck for Sky

 

[pork pie fox]

Big time.

 

[Jenks]

Really shitty for my daughter who works every Sunday. She's ****ing livid.

 

[Brown Nose]

So after WBA, 7 out of 8 games are live on Sky. Who would have thought we'd be on more than any other side over the March/April period.

I count that as 16 live games in total this season, including the two FA cup matches - with two more potentially to come in May.

Whilst I do appreciate that the inconvenience is a bugger for many, we have to remember that a live game is worth about a million quid a match for the club. Including the higher merit payments this season, we'll be raking in around £25m more than last year.

Or put another way, over 60 Mahrez's at £400k a pop.

 

[Miles Away]

I don't understand why we haven't just bought all these Mahrez's yet.

 

[Jeff]

I don't understand why we haven't just bought all these Mahrez's yet.

We'd better get these stars in the French second division signed up quickly.
If we end up out of the EU and have to apply for work permits for players there's no way we'd have got them for the likes of Mahrez and Kante.
