Why are Sky showing Arsenal v Liverpool to clash with the FA cup semi final at lunchtime tomorrow, and yet they are not showing any match at all at teatime - not even a Championship game? And worse still, why are the FA letting them?

It shows the contempt Sky have for their customers, and that the pathetic money grabbing businessmen at the FA have no control over their own game.

I shall be watching West Brom v Pompey.

    More to the point why is the semi final kicking off at 12.15?! Surely it'd be better for the fans travelling to the game if they kicked it off at 5.15. And they'd probably get more tv viewers.

    Probably to give Wembley an extra few hours to prepare for the Sunday game. I agree 5.15 would be much better for the viewers and most travelling fans would prefer it.

    Should never play FA Cup Semi's at Wembley.

    Devalues the whole Wembley experience.
