To be fair we were the first game on against Man City 2 seasons ago

Good. The more Saturday games the better.

I seem to remember us being in TV first match, when we won the league.

[Somethingfishy]

You can bet with some degree of certainty we will be bottom of that list come the end of the season...irrespective of how we actually fare.

We were the only team to play the champions (Chelsea) and not be on the telly the first weekend.
They missed a cracker.

Strange decision not to show it but Sky showed the full ninety minutes of the game during the pandemic when they were finding things to fill in with. I recorded it at the time and have watched it a few times. Sam Vokes won our man of the match on here with Steven Defour second. Watching it again, I saw just how good Jack Cork and Robbie Brady were that day but Defour was something special.

There's been an update to the 2025/26 table.

The Nottingham Forest v Brentford opening day game has had to be moved because of the cricket at Trent Bridge and so, under the new TV deal, is now automatically added to the Sky schedule.

So,

Arsenal - 1
Aston Villa - 1
Bournemouth - 1
Brentford - 1
Chelsea - 1
Crystal Palace - 1
Everton - 1
Leeds - 1
Liverpool - 1
Manchester City - 1
Manchester United - 1
Newcastle - 1
Nottingham Forest - 1
Wolves - 1
Brighton - 0
Burnley - 0
Fulham - 0
Sunderland - 0
Tottenham - 0
West Ham - 0

[Darnhill Claret]

Prediction

37+
Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City

35+
Man U

[ClaretTony]

Prediction

37+
Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City

35+
Man U

The average is going to be 27+ per team so there will be some very high ones for the perceived big clubs.

[bigdavethemaddog]

Prediction

37+
Arsenal, LEEDS Liverpool, Man City

35+
Man U

get it right

Poor from the Premier League for not doing this at the time the fixtures were announced, surely it was known England would be at Trent Bridge that day, how many Brentford fans might have bought train tickets for the Saturday only for it now to be moved.

Happened with us two years ago at Forest

Yeah really poor that. Tbh i've held off booking train for our game at Spurs because i don't trust them to not move it yet.

I've been assured ours won't be moving - no logical reason for it to and with seven of the ten already on TV I can't imagine anyone would want it moved.

[1989_claret]

Seen on X that TV fixtures could be announced tomorrow.

That is the estimated date given on here yes

[jrgbfc]

Be surprised if they do. Got a feeling they'll want to let the Jota tragedy calm down a bit more first.

Never be surprised by TV companies.

Was told last night that ITV are showing the Liverpool friendly this weekend away at Preston and it is on the main channel

[clarets1978]

Don't think that will have much bearing on it. Clubs arguing over kick off times for games now that's a different story....

Less of that fair/accurate/considered/reasonableness stuff if you don't mind; this is uptheclarets, where uninformed off the cuff bitching is the order of the day

[1989_claret]

I only saw it was tomorrow because it has been 'leaked' that Everton are away at West Ham on a Monday night in September and their fans are in uproar. If true it means our City away game wouldn't be on the Monday but take it all with a pinch of salt.

The Premier League gave out ‘estimated’ dates last month which are all at
