Re: PL to begin live Friday night matches in 2016
would quite like to see FA cup games on a Friday night but not sure about the PL - fewer and fewer Saturday 3pm games the obvious consequence

I'm not opposed to the idea - depends where you live really. Londoners may be more inclined to heading straight from work for a few beers and freeing the weekend up, whereas those who travel a significant distance and savour the 'whole day' experience are less likely to enjoy it.
it was 5-0 and Henry scored 4. The last one was whilst he was falling to the ground after being shoved off the ball.

I think he was actually tripped from behind by Harte?SPUDMASHER wrote:northbank123 wrote:Remember a Friday night game against Leeds - think 4-0 Invincibles season - that was great.

Re: PL to begin live Friday night matches in 2016
I'm actually a bit against because of May 89. I like the fact so much about that game was different, including the time slot and day. It's not the end of the world, but I'd rather Friday night football not become a regular thing in the PL.g88ner wrote:Football on a Friday night... made be think about Anfield '89 so I'm in favour!

I quite like the idea of this, especially on Fridays before a Champions league week. That extra day will be very welcome.

Apparently there was once a mythical age when football happened at 3pm on Saturdays.
