I reckon there is a clause in Sky's contract...

...not allowing them to schedule a game to clash against the FA cup matches on the other channel. So they put Spurs v Newcastle on, but earlier, which like it or not is a greater draw than ours.

Again, personal interpretation, but I think that whilst Pants intended to mean 'later' to say that Sky could change a kick off from noon to 1pm, yet 21&28 decided to take 'later' to be 7pm, which is of course absolutely bloody stupid and of course he wouldn't be able to come up with examples as not even Sky would do that.

What we DON'T know, of course, is that there could be plenty of examples that Sky HAVE asked for kickoffs to be moved from noon to 1pm, but because those discussions have taken place with clubs and matchess that are nothing to do with us, we have no idea as to the machinations.
