Why is Sky hatin’ on Chelsea?
By: Jack | April 10th, 2008
So Sky Television and the Premier League have decided to move another Chelsea fixture. Just two weeks after rescheduling the Everton game for next Thursday, they have now pushed back the Blues’ penultimate match of the season with Newcastle, two days to May 5. The match was originally scheduled for 8 p.m., but Chelsea successfully tabled for it to be moved to 4. Expectedly, Chelsea was none pleased with the change.
A statement on the club Website reads: “Although all clubs have had the occasional fixture change from Saturday to Monday due to live television which is something that we accept, Chelsea FC would like to make it clear that we opposed this particular switch as we were initially being forced to play the match at 8pm, making it impossible for our supporters to make reasonable travel arrangements, more so as this is a Bank Holiday and public transport is likely to be limited and there will be increased traffic on the roads.”
Why is Sky beefin’ son? I mean, this can’t all be about the dough could it?

I have to say, I think that fixture changes are something we must accept due to the fact we are now one of Europe’s ‘biggest’ clubs.
It could in fact be a blessing in disguise. If Manchester United have managed to pick up all three points in their particular fixture, the nature of our current crop of players would presumably mean that they would pull together and equal United’s result.
What I worry about is the opposite happening. Harking back to last season when we were still in with a shout of claiming the title, we were playing Bolton and United were up against Everton. When they went one-nil down, we appeared to switch off and ended up drawing, in contrast United pulled their socks up and went on to claim all three points.
I pray that if United lose or draw their particular encounter, we don’t switch off and let the chance of bringing the title home convincingly slip away.
Right now however, let’s all hope Arsenal do us a favour this weekend.Posted from
