Premier League have announced that 10 PL games a season will be moved to Friday nights from 16-17 season

Personally not too on board with this seeing as their could potentially be a scenario where there is only 4 games at 3PM on a Saturday. For me, it's just football moving even further away from it's roots and losing its tradition

Hmmm.

Didn't Mourinho say he wanted this to happen?


What a coincidence.

What are they thinking? Absolutely ridiculous idea

Worth trying, better atmospheres maybe. Better than Monday night IMO.

Hope this doesn't happen. Spurs already ruin the best part of the weekend. I'd prefer it if at least Friday was protected.

Friday night? Time for a piss up! Fuck the sundays off and go for this!

Better hope we're still in Europa then

Just another way for the EPL to squeeze a bit more cash out of the TV companies who'll be falling over their wallets to get it.
Surprised they haven't suggested it sooner...

I'd be more than happy for this to replace the early Saturday game. I never do anything Friday nights, so it suits me down to the ground.

Why not spread the entire weekend fixtures out over the whole week? Two TV games on Saturday, three on Sunday, then another one each day of the week. Scudamore would probably cum at the thought of that. Sky could come up with other imaginatively titled programmes such as 'Tuesday Night Football' and 'Wednesday Night Football'.

I'm sure they'd smash it out of the park.

Having said that, it would only be one less 3pm for 10 rounds.

A separate auction of rights to internet highlights clips, a package currently held by the newspaper publisher News UK, will be sold separately later.

Who is "News UK?" Google just brings up UK news results.

Its an arm of News International.....therfore its Murdoch.

I don't see the problem. Tradition notwithstanding, but I'm not a huge fan of most things labelled 'tradition'

At school we had to swim 2 lengths of the pool every morning at 6.10am. Naked. "Tradition" wtf
