They have the rights to one game a matchday plus a highlights show on a Wednesday night.

That game will be played on a Wednesday night. All Tuesday games plus the other 7 on a Wednesday will be shown on SKY

Rangers games are exclusive on SKY Sports this season.

Didn't City fans sing that song at him last season?

Apparently so.

Following the general move towards a blame culture in society IMO.

It wasn't their fault they threw missiles and tried to run onto the pitch, it was Adebayor's apparently for having the temerity to celebrate scoring against their team.

Much as it wasn't the fault of the Derby players the other weekend that they couldn't just shake their heads and walk away from Nathan Tyson acting like a c*ck, it must have been Tyson's fault for provoking them.

There's a general shift in society (of which sport is reflective) towards not taking responsibility for your own actions and looking for someone else to blame.

The old 'well he started it!'.

Gosling will play there.

Just wondering, what's going on with the CL on ITV this year?

Will they still be showing two games a week on Tuesday's or has it changed to Wednesday's now?

A mate of mine just said they'll only be showing Liverpool and United games. Any help?

You not going the CL games this season?

If Adebayor had done that celebration 25 years ago, nobody would've batted an eyelid.

Its not the same game as 25 years ago on and off the field.

Really?

I started going to football 23 years ago (blimey, I am only 29) celebrations back then were pretty understated compared to what they are now, it would have caused a bit more of a stir back then I'd have thought, though obviously the media wasn't quite as intense.

That's what I was thinking. Anything more than a pat on the back or a jump in the air was a bit strange.

Nah, they've changed the ticket system thing and my mate's decided not to bother. I can't afford it unless he's going so I'm giving it a miss this year, but I'll be going 10/11 hopefully.

I'll try and get a few league/cup games in there or something if I can get a ticket here and there.
