We are 5pts behind with a game in hand. Would love them to draw and us beat Wycombe, put it in our hands. Even an Ipswich win if we win too It's already in our hands, Win every game and we are champions 1 Quote

City v Chelsea that we've already seen twice this season (once in the League cup) and will do again when they meet each other in the league. Potential giant killing games now, when the smaller clubs are involved. Show the big boys in the latter stages. Quote

I still think it deserved a bigger audience and national broadcast. Even the Chesterfield v West Brom game I think should have been up for consideration more than Man City V Chelsea. 1 Quote

Even the Chesterfield v West Brom game I think should have been up for consideration more than Man City V Chelsea. I've long since taken the stance of not watching any televised 'league match in drag' if the TV companies choose to ignore a proper cup tie in the same round. For example, take the League Cup QF's this midweek - ManU vs Charlton is not being shown, so I won't be watching Newcastle vs Leicester or Southampton vs Man City. I also deliberately missed City vs Liverpool, for example, in a previous round on the same basis. In the FA Cup, I completely ignored ManU vs Everton on Friday night, Liverpool vs Wolves on Saturday and City vs Chelsea yesterday. I'm happy to watch the highlights, but disagree with it being on live. Obviously, I realise my 'boycott' is never going to hurt the TV companies and I understand why they show such matches but, stuff it, I've got better things to do with my time than watch 'repeats'.

owl4ever1867 Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 I'd rather watch Chesterfield vs WBA than Man City vs Chelsea, Gives more of a financial windfall to Chesterfield who need the money a damn sight more than Man City do. It's the magic of underdogs in this competition that get fans watching. Quote
Reesh Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Most games are shown for foreign broadcasts hence the staggered start times. The games are there to view if you want to. Quote

M42Owl Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 I disagree with most of the BBC bashing that goes on, but in regard to which matches they show I’m drawn to their charter which I believe has something along the lines of “catering for everyone”, “supporting minorities”. It’s with that in mind that the BBC supported the growth in the likes of snooker, darts, skiing and introduced MOTD. So when it comes to live football they should leave the commercial games to the commercial channels that rely on viewing figures to drive advertising revenue and look elsewhere from the big six and show more of the smaller clubs and potential giant killings instead. On the other hand, perhaps the BBC have had their funding squeezed so much that they too are now reliant on commercial sources (e.g. overseas sales) so have to take the same approach as Sky / ITV. Quote
JBO Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 It's Man City v Chelsea I have no real interest in it but of course it's going to be on. There are millions of football fans without Sky/BT who don't get to see these teams live on telly that much at all 1 Quote
cheat Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 It would be a brave man to choose Villa v Stevenage over Man City v Chelsea. Hindsight’s a great thing, but Villa beating Stevenage 4-0 and the all Premier League clash being a close game was more likely pre-kick off. Quote
