Confusion as Sky pick Villa - Chelsea for FA Cup Final Day

Rupert Murdoch

The date of our vital home clash with Chelsea is up in the air after it was selected for TV coverage by Sky Sports.

The game was due to kick off on Sunday 12th May but has now been shunted back a day for TV purposes.  However it's new current scheduled time is at an annoying 12:45pm on Saturday 11th May, the day of The FA Cup Final.

However Chelsea are still competing in the tournament and if they beat Man City on Sunday's semi final, our game will be moved again with Tuesday 14th May a possible date. To complicate matters, if Chelsea make the Europa League final which is played on the 15th, our game will need to be squeezed into an earlier slot in the calendar.

Clear as mud then.

Man U match moved as Sky bugger up another Saturday 3 o'clocker

Those lovely people at Sky Sports have selected Villa's away clash with Manchester United for TV coverage.

The decision means that game, initially scheduled for Saturday 20th April will now take place on the much less sociable Monday 22nd April at 8pm.

However, don't cancel those advance train tickets and hotel bookings just yet. In the event that United squeak into the Champions League Semi-Finals, the game will be bounced back to the Saturday with an early doors 12.45pm start time.

Sky Sports continue to bugger up our fixture list.

Two more vital home games have been shunted out of their 3pm Saturday slots by Rupert Murdoch's evil henchmen Sky Sports people.

The daunting home clash with Manchester City has moved from Saturday March 2 to the massively inconvenient Monday March 4, with an 8pm kick-off.

Our opportunity do the double over Liverpool now has to wait until the distinctly unfamily-friendly timeslot of Easter Sunday, Sunday March 31, with a 1.30pm kick-off. Put your tin-hat on before you reveal that lovely news to your wives, girlfriends and mothers.
