Eight matches will take place on Sunday, October 7 and another at 12.45pm on the Saturday. Due to the demands of television and involvement with the UEFA Cup, only Aston Villa v West Ham remains at Saturday 3pm.

The *Dark Weekend* Oooooo

Hey, we talked about the globalisation of the EPL (who is dropping the 'E' as well) and this is just one more little chip being taken out of English Football as they host the 'Worlds Game' all while neglecting to develop English players!

Well, [Poor language removed] it. Lets just play games EVERY night of the week, so every game will be on TV and we are under constant football.

I have to agree that it is signalling the final nail in the coffin of all regular football supporters with the passing of the traditional Saturday at the ground or in the pub watching the football, old habits die hard but this one is being wrenched away!

Well, I for one vote that all PL games are scheduled for midnight UK time, so Dylan, Tx Bill, FC, Cold Nate, etc. and I can watch them live at dinner-time.

I second that idea!
