Just to confirm - we are playing Sunday ?

Yes Carl

Seeing all the games have to be played at the same time on the final day, why can't the wankers have them all at 3 o'clock, when football should start.

Sadly for you and your commute, it's all about global tv figures/wonga.

The Americas comfortable, Europe are used to evening kick off, it's only when you get to India and further east and south where it gets a little shitty.

Although on the flip I think the likes of Pretty Boy Blue it's one more he can stay on bed.

He he, I turned up on the wrong day once, and that was traveling from Newbury where I was living at the time.
We were at home to Everton and they kept changing the time and date, I think it was something to do with Everton having to play a cup game. I can't really remember why they kept changing it (certainly wasn't us in Europe in those days). Anyhow this was the first (and I think only) time a top tier game has had a morning kick off, they scheduled it for 11:45 on the Sunday.
I was totally confused and turned up on the Saturday, along with my girlfriend at the time and wondered why it was so quiet.
Anyway, we had a couple in the near empty Mary D's where the penny dropped. We ended up in a B&B in a pub somewhere in the peak district.
On the way back to Manc in the morning we stopped for breakfast at a cafe somewhere, ordered two full englishes, and they turned up all in batter. Sausages, bacon, eggs, the lot. Never come across that before or since.
Then most bizarrely of all, Danny Mills of all people scored a worldie from thirty yards to give us the first goal of a 2-0 win.

I've just had to look it up and it was 2005

Since my Mum snuffed it last November I've been waking up at 4 - 4.30 am. So most days come tea time I'm fucked and have a Nanna nap. I have no trouble getting to sleep and sleep really deep yet have the most surreal of dreams. Anyways only two weeks ago....,....

I went to sleep on getting home about 4.30pm, forgot to set my alarm (hour and half), woke at 7.30 thinking I'd slept in for work. Had a proper rush round, quick shower made my butties and raced to work. Opened up, filled the geezer, got everything ready for the day. At 8.45 I rung one of my staff to which they answered "what the fuck you ringing for at this time of night!!!"

What makes everything so much fucking worse..... it was a Friday evening! We don't even open weekends.

The ridiculous reason that the time was change for that match was we had Sun Jihai and they had Li Tie and they wanted people in China to be able to watch.

Thanks HDS for all of these this season

Yes Carl

I can’t remember how many times I’ve got the time wrong , let alone the date , due to the time difference- also google has also fucked me up a few times as now and again it gives me Mexico time lines ( obviously my fucking fault for not googling properly )

Did that once after an all night party on a Saturday night when i was about 19 or 20. Woke up at 7, got dressed and ready, got on my Goldwing, at the time and headed off for work. As I'd driven about 10 minutes I thought it odd that the sun was in my eyes, in the west.

It was Sunday night. Worse still, being young and it being late 70s, I didn’t even have any money to join the boys at the pub.

Felt a right twat

If you’re referring to me I get up and watch every single game no matter what time, love to see how many back home would work sleep around a 3am kickoff like I do.

Echoing others HDS , Thank you for these all season

Thanks very much HDS. Always very useful threads.
