Stottie Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 A rare game in a while where (non-elite) opposition have better much form than us. Burnley last four at home P4 W3 L1. The wins were Everton, Soton, and Wolves. Our last four away are P4 W1 L3 including two pastings. I still expect us to win, but I doubt it'll be a pushover. Leeds may well lose, in which case Burnley stay up anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 FA should come out and state something like 3 games behind closed doors next season for any teams that do a pitch invasion. Feel there will likely be one at Turf Moor with either result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last part is what I, and I'm sure the squad, would be worried about. Imagine we beat Burnley 2 or 3 nil, and Leeds win. There could be a pretty nasty pitch invasion there.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 nufc.com reckon it's on the Golf Channel for our transatlantic cousins.

Mattoon Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 This will be a tough one, the Leeds score will definitely dictate the intensity of the match. We have enough quality to win this fairly comfortably but Burnley will be fighting tooth and nail for a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no other lower league football on and it would hardly damage attendances in the PL to show them all. Out of interest would you watch a dead rubber involving your own team or a game that decides the title/relegation which coverages involves another team chasing the title/relegation?

Hovagod Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I would choose the important game. I remember when Aguero won it for city. I was watching our game until Everton scored their third and switched over. A Liverpool supporting friend watched their dead rubber against QPR. I know I should applaud their commitment to their team but it just struck me as insular and frankly unimaginative Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) People should be able to watch the game they want, is the basic point. Especially if the match itself is sold out, or an away game. Edited May 20, 2022 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Couldn't give a monkeys about the title race, race for 4th or the relegation battle unless we're involved in any of them. Tbh there's very few games at the elite level I'm really that arsed about watching, and it's more a case of: if I can easily access it/if I'm doing nowt else/if my other half is out or busy with something else. I got BT this season and made an effort to catch plenty Europa/Conference League games cos I think that's a great competition with a lot more variety, more teams I know less about, and more never-seen-before fixtures.

A - a little thing called curiosity as I wouldn’t be surprised if many were tempted to give a dead rubber a swerve. B - that would explain TV companies decisions not to do it as they don’t want to dilute advertising revenue and have extra expense of full TV crews and commentators etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that a very odd and a bit of a sad outlook. I dare say it’s because I’ve always thought of myself as a football fan first and NUFC fan second, hence why I’m balanced with refereeing decisions when other wear B&W specs. Surprised you don’t watch the KO stuff and finals of Cup competitions etc or big match ups in various leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) I don’t “care” about other games in the way I care about our games, but I watch them for tactics, skill and to see the spectacle of top teams facing off. I can’t see myself ever skipping a live game at SJP to watch anything else on TV though. Edited May 20, 2022 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
