Europa League quarters are scheduled for 07/04 and 14/04, and Semi's 28/04 and 05/05. So depending on progress a lot of those games would be moved anyway.

If we do get through the Monday night games give us an extra day i supose.

Beats playing an FA cup replay at 7pm on a weekday though. Cunts.

 

[Totti]

That's a positive. I was flying out to California on the 9th of April so now I'll be able to watch the United match and won't miss it.

Pretty much going to be on TV a lot aren't we!

Just so long as the NLD isn't affected.

Smashing them at home is going to be the best birthday present ever!

Yeah, it basically means it's going to broadcast in the middle of the work day. I usually compensate by watching the game at my desk (and not working) or taking the day off to watch it at home or at a pub.

On the east coast - leave work early, get to a bar, game kicks off at 3p proper. Not the worst, but sucks if you don't have a flexible job.

It's usually a lunch time kick off for me on the West Coast. I pretend to work for the first half of the game while watching it on my computer and then take off for "lunch" to watch the second half on a t.v. somewhere.

Dual monitors are a must if you've got to be at the office :eriksenlol:

 

[palmers_green_yid]

It's shocking how the TV companies move things around with no regard for the fans. I'm going to have to take some Monday nights off work, and lose holiday days.

 

[Oh FFS]

Don't mind the Monday night games at all. Have always thought the atmosphere at evening games is statistically better then weekend kick off's. So yeah, thank you Sky for giving us an extra day after Europa League matches.

If we're still in the mix after the NLD it will be interesting that we often play last in the game week. Which will put pressure on us depending on the other title contenders results.
Does anyone have any statistics on how Monday games reacts up on previous title contenders? I have vague memories of pool often playing Monday when they had Suarez. But they also entirely bottled it when Gerrard lost his mind, was it against Man Utd?
