i know people are going to be pissed off with the time/day changes but im sorry to say im happy about the tv schedule....its selfish but it means i can see the games as wont get down to the grove much before christmas i dont thin

it does suck for those who will be going to these games though and wtf has spuds become a midweek game

setanta and sky are cunts 5 fucking thirty ko against bolton and hull. typical fuck the fans attitude. cunts

i agree...the bolton game in particular is an arse of a time for the away fans to travel

i will say this again...i love football but the authorities don't care about the fans. i will go to bolton and i will fucking curse the slags that run the game.why? because I AM A FAN and fucking stupid.

one more thing THERE ARE NO FUCKING TRAINS HOME AFTER THE BOLTON GAME. AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON VILLA AWAY ON BOXING DAY. CUNTS

the kick off times are shit hull, newcastle having to come to the smoke on a saturday evening. total bollocks. please don't tell me you're happy. its an insult to football fans

i hope your not attacking me radford simply because i said im happy about the televised games so i can watch the team i support?? as i said i think the times are an arse and ive done the shit times in the past enough to know the hassle but seeing as there is no fucking way i can afford to go to the games im not going to complain about seeing the games on tv....i just feel sorry for the fans who has to travel to the games but thats the way the modern game works these days

the enemy is not the fans such as yourself, but the cunts that run the game. i can understand that you are happy and rightly so. but my concern is for the fans that have to do the journeys across the country to get to the grounds for the shit kick off times. we deserve more. the treatment that we have to endure is SHOCKING and if the authorities who decide what happens get cancer then GOOD.

but i wanted to be an enemy

at the end of the day it isn't going to change which is a total arse so the choice comes to either boycott the games or go along with the times, i cant see a boycott happening so sky/setanta will continue to move away from the traditions of football such as 3pm saturdays

ill be sympathising with you if you end up going to bolton away for example...done the late ko up there myself and its a complete arse even when i did it from my other halfs

i'll go to bolton....lets face it i went to derby last season on my own on a fucking monday night (mad i know). i just get so mad at the way we the fans are treated. we deserve more. i am in no way attacking the fans that don't get to the away games, every gooner is equal in my eyes. i choose to do what i do for the Arsenal but i hate the people that run the game. sorry i sound like a bitter old man when in fact i'm only .....................?

you dont sound like a bitter old man, you make a fair point but those who run the game dont care about the fans just the money in their pockets

you are totaly true in that post. i could do many hard done by stories. the fact is i am an addict and will remain so until i die. sad butb true

you have now admitted the problem....shame they dont make an arsenal anonymous

unfortunately for most the addiction will never end hehe....money will be spent on the club, the pain will continue and sometime soon we will see silverware, im just sad i wont be seeing the lads in the flesh for sometime but thats the way the cookie crumbles

hey ho

To be honest I don't mind 5.30 from an Arsenal p.o.v. atmosphere is better. 12.45 is annoying. Radders just get a coach back from Bolton.
