Let me guess, US telly networks who just want matches to show at a normal time for US timezones?

Leave football alone you pricks.
I don't think this is driven by US networks - they won't want to go up against the NFL on Sundays.

I think this is strictly for domestic broadcasters.

Utterly crap, I got fed up with matches being on totally random days; the constant decisions now seem to be football needs to be a 24/7 sport!

Does it balls! My nephew is totally addicted to football and watching every single game trying to get him off his phone to "engage socially with fellow humans and relatives" or to do chores/homework/mealtimes is a total nightmare.

Everything designed around SKY's programming, Monday night football, Super Sunday, Wally Wednesday, Throw-In Thursday, Football Friday, Blackout Saturday.

I just find it tedious and tiring (maybe it's the three hours pre and post match of waffle bollox spouted by some irrelevant nitwits) I think I said before that the World Cup was the experiment towards 24/7 football.

It's like the stupid ever expanding calendars in Formula One and MotoGP, ever since the Netflix and amazon team documentaries became a thing they think everyone wants non stop content!

I remember getting a buzz between matches or before a motor racing season starts or the anticipation between races when they we're two weeks apart; or the gaps between the UFC putting on a big event, now it's just meh.

This only rings more and more true for each passing year.
I'm not particularly keen on David Mitchell, and this always felt like it was coming from a condescending place... but as you say, it's become more and more true. Sky Sports 4? Try 10 by now.

Oh it's massively condescending but that doesn't make it not true.

My favourite bit of that clip is where he says something like “the titans of Bolton vs the giants of Charlton, making them both seem normal sized!”
