In the last round of the Premiership season there is basically nothing left to play for. The Champions have already been decided and so have all the teams that will be relegated. The only thing left is whether Man U or Liverpool finish second, the team that finishes third will have to play in the 3rd qualifying round for next season's champions leage; invariably against a crap team from Eastern Europe in as much as either of these teams can consider themselves qualified. THE ONLY thing else to play for is the battle for 4th spot and the final champions league qualifying position between bitter rivals Tottenham and Arsenal. This has been talked about for months and months now. Sky Sports are showing the Arsenal match, which is entirely fair enough as it is the final game ever at Highbury. The other obvious choice would be to show the most important game in Tottenham's history, against long standing rivals and FA Cup finalists West Ham; which would be assured to be a cracker of a game anyway, regardless of how much was at stake. But so much is at stake and this is the crux of what people what been talking about for months. But Sky Sports are going to show Man United vs Charlton. What absolute fucking nonsense, without doubt the stupidest descision in the history of the world. I am disgusted to the point that I have sent them what is clearly a pointless email that will fall on deaf ears / blind eyes. None the less I feel slightly better, or have I just worked myself up even more, yes I think I have.
Myself and a large number of my friends and colleagues, both suporters and neutrals, are absolutely disgusted that you have chosen to screen the Manchester United vs Charlton game on Sunday, instead of West Ham vs Tottenham. The West Ham v Spurs game is obviously the most important tie of the round; the battle for 4th spot has been significant in the Premiership for some time now, it is virtually the only thing left to play for with the champions and relegation teams already decided. The consequences of Man United's result utterly pales in comparisson to the outcome of the West Ham v Spurs game, and let's face it, who the hell really wants to watch Charlton anyway? I am absolutely stunned that you should think any other tie of the round should be shown instead of what is clearly the most important game in Tottenham's history, made even more intense by the fact that it is against their bitter London rivals and FA Cup finalists. This WILL be the tie of the round and this IS the game that real football fans want to watch. You have shown to everyone that you do NOT care about football. I look forward to the day when you no longer have a monopoly over the game.
