I have no idea who chooses what to go on TV in the States but....I mean, you couldnt have made ANY other match be the late game other than Newcastle/Aston Villa??

They have quotas that mean every team has to have a minimum number of TV games, so occasionally you get these ones. Saying that, when it was chosen, chances are it would have been a 6 pointer until Newcastle won recently.

Us V Norwich was another example. Not exactly a viewer grabber.

From BBC text commentary of the game

If this rain gets any worse, they might have to start playing water polo.

To be fair, Aston Villa might be better at that.

He's not wrong, Villa are truly bad.

Great goal for the Villa..

 

[Alan Whittle]

Cheeky Star Wars reference from Mr Tyler there

 

[tsubaki]

It is like God is crying His eyes out, being made to watch this game.

 

[rascal]

Lacking in quality but pretty exciting

Swansea breathing a big sigh of relief tonight I'll bet.

Only 3 pts from safety now.
