Like everything, it all boils down to economics. They know they’d soon lose viewers, advertisers if they spent any significant airtime on BHA, a team who wont trouble the PL title race and who are unknown in Accra, Manila, Tegucigalpa and Stavanger. Sex sells and always will.
Ours is a David v Goliath clash featuring two relatively young and upcoming managers, while any game involving Everton is an immediate bore fest, throw in managerial dinosaurs Mourinho and Ancelotti and it’s an even less attractive tactical proposition.
What a result, as nervous as I’ve been watching the men’s team watching that second half, great confidence booster and we could have nicked it. Our keeper Walsh has got some kick on her.
Classic Craig Noone ‘sunning himself’ under the Amex grow lamps, a photo that seems to have sadly disappeared from the Internet, although it’s definitely on an ancient thread on here somewhere.
Super Sunday, more like two games no one outside of those four clubs could possibly give a shit about and if you do you need to take a long hard look at yourself:
WBA v Leicester
THFC v Everton
zzzzzzzzzz
Even BHA v Chelsea has more appeal to the neutral viewer...just.
The postmen, Amazon warehouse workers (some fresh off a night shift) and milkmen in the Ross County line up have had a shocker today. Who’d have thunk it? #SPL Life
There are so many ‘non fixtures’ in the PL as it is (Everton I’m looking at you for starters) that to have Palace removed from the equation would lessen my interest in the fixture list even more. Surely Leeds are far preferable?
