If every football fan cancelled skysports we'd soon get back to 3pm kick offs.

You'd need the whole of Asia to join in with that for it to have a real effect.

What's the time difference between the UK and Asia? Do they get games live?

Yep - beacuse live betting in the far east sees absolutely massive sums moving around.

I thought we would all buy the new home top and get Ronaldhino printed on the back as a mark of respect to our imminent signing.

8pm evening kickoffs in the UK mean 5am in Japan. 3pm kick offs are at midnight in Japan. Moving them to later for that reason doesn't really make sense.

At least with the 5.15 kick offs, you can get in to the pub for 3pm, watch Soccer Saturday and the other scores come in before taking your seat ready for the match.

No. I'd prefer it if you were the second person to say it.

aaargghh.

I used to hate all the people who come and pack out the jazz cafe to watch Man Utd play live early games, meaning you had to turn up 3 hours early to guarantee getting in.

There are no live games at 3pm though, so no benefit on that score.

In protest, I am going to turn up every other Saturday at 3pm with my season ticket, sit in my seat and moan about how badly the grass is growing.
