Sir Steve Howard

Boycotting it now, they've absolutely butchered what was the best TV football spectacle by a mile. Why have they replaced journalists, who were both knowledgeable and funny, with retarded ex-pros? Plus they barely even show any of the games from the 10 mins I watched before turning off. BIN

Villa most well represented Blues Cov Palace Fulham Derby Surprising number of Luton Unsurprising number of Liverpool

Moon is that you?

Very economical from Bailey

Think we could well end up beating Chelsea

Afghanistan v NZ (played on outskirts of New Delhi) becoming the 8th test in history abandoned without a ball being bowled. No surprises that the fist two instances of this were ashes tests in Manchester

Should be the latter home and away

More have reappeared now, looks like 100 left

This will never make sense to me, surely there should be more interest in TV for overseas tours, for starters there are 20k odd in the ground for home series who would be wanting to watch an overseas tour

Warwickshire in particular to blame here. Made the quarters all 4 years and lost each QF, including the most recent 3 as top of north group and home quarter. Choking with the added pressure of making finals day at home?

Following another clean sweep by the Southern section in the blast QFs this year, since the split to North/South in 2021 this is how the North has performed in QFs, beyond a joke now: 2021 0/4 2022 2/4 2023 0/4 2024 0/4 If it was down to random chance, having 0/8 in the last two years is a 0.39% chance, let that sink in

Club have shown numerous times in recent seasons they'd rather lose money than going to gen sale. Cutting off the nose to spite the face Edit: Only ~400 left pre members, think it'll sell out anyway

I think this is easily the main factor for slow sales, people care a lot less when they've "ticked it off". Couldn't disagree more with the second point, personally I think the two-legged semi final is as good as it gets, so much better than FA cup SF single leg at bloody Wembley. Even though we lost, the SF with Villa a few years ago was incredible. As close as you can get to being in the play offs when you're in the prem. And we all know the play offs are the best thing in English football

I've always thought this was a common myth, exacerbated by moany cvnts like Klopp, can't find stats to confirm or deny though

I just assumed it would be sky, can always hope C4 get on it Edit: oh dear England’s cricket Test tour of Pakistan at risk of television blackout | Cricket | The Guardian
