Its nearly the end of september and man u have had every one of their games shown on tv. I think this is pretty ridiculous i mean talk about the rich getting richer and also increases the future arm chair support for their club. They are on again tonight and on the weekend to stoke, think its getting to the stage where they will have 1 or 2 games not on tv a season

Or perhaps Sky now believe the Prem is Man U?
Poxy media circus.
What game would you have prefered tonight? There isnt a better tie than Leeds vs Man Ure. If you dont like it dont watch it.
And biggest consumer base of purchases online and in sports shops throughout the World.
The rest go to the nearest pub in their replica shirts, or stay at home with a 6-pack.
How many of those have actually been to Old Trafford?
United "fans", do me a favour.
I have to agree....especially about giggs, absolute quality
And MK Dons now losing to an 89th minute goal at Burnley
Still it makes me laugh the hypocrisy of people that do subscribe to Sky and then moan about footballers wages, the dominance of the Top 4, the ever widening gap between rich clubs and poor ones, the state of the England national team and the state of the modern game etc etc. Don't like it? Don't subscribe then.
Must be the younger generation like watching Man Utd?
Very strange comment. I would say that any sentiment towards Man U would be from the older generation. Always has been.
Anyway, I'd rather watch Man Utd on TV than any other English team, so long may it continue. If you don't like watching Man Utd, you don't like football.
I don't bother watching Man Utd or any of the Premiershit on TV.
Much rather actually go to games........which is why I see as many Charlton matches as I possibly can.
I find in my experience that most people who go to games to generally watch one team do not in fact like football that much.
Last night's game was a Carling Cup tie, and certainly the most interesting to the casual viewer, and was a logical choice for a screening. This has nothing to do with how much money UTD will receive from the Premier League deal.
As an aside - a few years back a few guys, who are no doubt on this forum, Prague Addick I am aware of, looked into this quite deeply. Back then, about 2003, Sky were contractually obliged to show 3 games per team, and were then free to show as many games per team once that agreement was met (if memory serves). We got hold of viewing figures, no mean feat, and discovered that Blackburn Vs. Charlton on Monday Night Football actually beat one of the 'top four' games for viewing figures!
Without checking I don't know which games are being televised tonight, but going down the fixture list the stand out tie is Liverpool v Brighton. Chelsea v Fulham could be interesting, but I know which of the 2 I'd rather watch. Much like last night's one way snore-fest though I'm guessing that Man City v Brum will be the televised game, and will result in a similar score line and lack of real competition.
