The latest picks for TV have been announced and it means that four Arsenal fixtures have been changed.
The games in question are:
Arsenal v Man City
Date: Thursday March 1st
KO: 19.45
Channel: Sky Sports
This game is moved from its original date of February 25th because of the Carabao Cup final. Arsenal could face City in this game if they beat Chelsea tonight.
Brighton v Arsenal
Date: Sunday March 4th
KO: 13.30
Channel: Sky Sports
Arsenal v Watford
Date: Sunday March 11th
KO: 13.30
Channel: Sky Sports
Arsenal v Stoke City
Date: Sunday April 1st
KO: 13.30
Channel: Sky Sports
That should provide some clarity for people looking to book travel etc, but don’t underestimate the ability of the broadcasters to dick everyone around at short notice because that’s what they do.
Another Thursday. Mmmm…
Early kickoffs. Good for us living East! Means you can watch it down the bar without having the next day written off.
thinking exactly the same. a run of winnable 7pm evening kick offs will be nice, and I’m not sure I could put myself through the city game anyway!
We’re always seem half asleep for lunchtime kicks off though. Also, surely getting to the bar early means more drinking and a greater chance of having the next day written off, no?
Well, at least some of the global fan base got a gift then and I’m pleased for your sake that it worked out for you. For those of us in the colonies, those 1:30p UK kick-offs are at 5:30 in the morning. Please raise your beers and give us a thought while we beat Brighton 3-0, Watford 13-0, and Stoke 23-0.
Stoke is Easter Sunday then. Ffs, Giroud.
Brighton moved to a day with engineering works that will nearly treble the travel time by train from London. Hey ho.
Fucking hell, couldn’t we have at least got ONE of the Sunday fixtures later in the day? Hate those early kick-offs.
Wait a minute! Why hasn’t our match against Leicester on March 17 been moved to the Sunday or Monday? We’ve got a Europa League match the Thursday before!
