Saturday’s game live in the US
For my American readers I note that Saturday’s crucial game with West Ham is live on
Fox Soccer Channel at 10ET. It is also being shown in Canada.
I am surprised that it is not being shown live on television at home. The press are building it up but obviously Sky thinks Watford v Everton a more inspiring fixture. At least it will be a 3pm Saturday game though which makes a pleasant change.
My Saturday’s during the season normally take on two moods and we are supposed to be going out with a new couple we met recently for drinks on Saturday night. They will either love me or loathe me.
Pards and Curbs seem to have a pact not to talk about each other and their respective teams but old egg-head seems to want to
stoke the fire I see. Really I go from being excited to anguished as the game gets closer.

Chicago Addick wishes him all the best anyway.
