Just goes to show what a farce of a decision it was for Sky to show ManYoo against a Charlton side with f*ck all to play for. Thank you RTE!

So who should Sky have shown instead?

West Ham v Spurs I presume. Although West Ham have as much to play for as Charlton.

Aquos76

If that had of been the case RTE would not have been able to show it.

The battle for 4th. Both Arsenal and Spurs. First 45 mins says that alone. West Ham were never gonna roll over against Spurs, and the Goons last game at the Library were always going to be better than ManYoo-Charlton, for drama if not quality of football.

Supercell

watching spurs west ham atm on satellite and its a cracker
Am a spurs fan so slightly biased, its all very exciting at the moment

But they could have shown ManYoo or Liverpool, either of which they'd be delighted to do.

eh, so what? therecklessone is just saying Sky made the wrong choice.

PHB

Yeh, but the excitment coulda just as easily been in the other matches. Hindsight is a lovely thing, tbh I like what they are doing, showing both sets of games on different channels.


Are they showing the highlights from the Arsenal game as they come?

Aquos76

I would imagine that RTE are happy enough with the game they got. The battle for the forth CL spot. Also with the run of bad form Man U have been on there was the possibility of a slip up at OT.

Yeah, its all setup for the second half, but its a bit of a strain on the old heart alright.

I may have to kill Yossi Benayoun for missing those 2 chances...

mike65

Xabi Alonso off with whats described a a broken ankle!

Spurs should be ahead! Poor start but they've got back in it. Charlton really are crap by the end of the season are'nt they?

Mike.

Alonso injured, awkward fall. Might miss out on the FA Cup final.

As PHB has just said

Sky are no different to any other Channels and they know Man U will attract the highest viewing figures. Thats why ManU are on Sky Sport1 and Arsenal on SP3.

Supercell

anyone with satellite - tps foot are showing spurs and tps star the arse!!, flicky flicky !!

i may place flowers on his grace afterwards so, just to thank him

therecklessone

Jaysus lads, did anyone really believe that Utd would lose to Charlton at OT today? From a neutral POV, the 4th place race has far more going for it.

Doesn't bother me TBH, I still get to see the game, just think objectively speaking it was a bad decision.

If he has broke his ankle that sucks..

futuredeath

if his ankles broken thats his world cup over,
feel terrible if thats the case.

zAbbo

Lets hope its not

AS IT STANDS
# Race for second: Manchester United look to have wrapped this up and Liverppol will have to be content with third.
# Race for fourth: Tottenham are holding on to that Champions League qualification spot ahead of great rivals Arsenal but need to score another to be sure of it.
# Race for seventh: Okay, it may not be sexy but it does get you into the Intertoto Cup. That honour is going Newcastle's way at the moment.

Say there's plenty more international managers sweating on the next 45 minutes.

Got my first grey hairs a while back (after Spurs-Blackburn in March...;) ), but I'll be bald as well if this keeps up...:D

Guy:Incognito

That sucks balls. Was really looking forward to watching spain. Thought they might actually do well, what with thwe extra bit of grit from having a couple of english based players.

mike65

Xabi went down under his own power, it sounds like he turned and got caught in the turf, so it should be a twist/strain at most hopefully. Still won't play next week prolly.

Mike.

Aquos76

Scholes is on for Man U for the second half.

PHB

Xabi looks definally out for next week, and possible for the World Cup.
What a horrible time to get injured

futuredeath

as a liverpool fan i'd much rather see him fit for the world cup than the fa cup,
will be absolutely gutted if he misses it.

Roddy23

Will Sheringham take it?

mr_angry

Penalty to West Ham. Dead cert.

Saved!

futuredeath

and he'll miss it

PHB

GO on the SPURS, ****ING HELL!

futuredeath

fowler 1-0 pool

Aquos76

Fowler has just made it 1-0 to liverpool

Supercell

Good man Sheringham!!, useless at peno's at spurs, good to see he's consistant!

KdjaCL

Think WWM hit the nail on the head, best for Spurs fans not to watch this game


Zamora misses when he was clean tru.


kdjac

therecklessone

He's Spurs and he knows he is...

mr_angry

How many chances are the Hammers going to need? I have a bad feeling about the way this game is going.

futuredeath

henry 3-2

Pacifico

Get In!!!!!!!!!

Roddy23

You're probably right, but days like these are the reason we love this game

Aquos76

Spurs must score again now as Arsenal are gone 3-2 ahead

therecklessone

F*ck F*ck F*CK!

Playboy

I cant watch the match cause Im at work... do the spurs players look like they are sick?

Roddy23

Still think that Spurs will win this match, the Hammers need to score, and cant see them doing it.

Aquos76

Man U 4-0 Richardsons

PHB

Richardson finally making an impression that he shoulda made at the start of the year.
Fantastic preformance from him today

Supercell

Aghh! , Le Arse
