We’ve got some great sport on our screens in the Club this weekend, so you have every excuse to be in the Club and giving us your bloody Membership money!!!
We start tonight with a cracking FA Cup 4th Round game at the Emirates library. That’s right, Arsenal-Man Utd kicks off at 7.55pm this evening and it looks as though the Boy Wonder Ole might have enough memories of former cup glories to take it seriously enough that he fields a proper team, and we’ll be showing the lot. There’s also the Farmers Insurance Open golf on after and through the weekend.
Then tomorrow we play spot the giant killer through the day. We start with Accrington Stanley, go on say it you know you want to, against minnows Fat Frankie’s Derby County, which is on BT2 at 12.30pm. Then at 3pm we’ll have our usual results service on for the footballers on one set of screens while the wugger buggers can watch Bristol-Exeter on BT at the same time. Those are followed at 5.30pm by Millwall vs Chris Medhurst’s plucky little Everton at 5.30pm and then at 7.45pm its another cracker when Wimbledon take on humble old West Ham, that’s on BT2. By the way if you’re a glutton for punishment you can also watch the first test between West Indies and England, although judging by the WIndies lead already, you’ll have to be quick.
On Sunday the excitement starts at 4pm, assuming that the cricket which starts at 2-ish is over by then. We’re bringing you an all-Premiership game on all our screens at 4pm, with Palarce-Spurs on BT2, in a game that you’d have to say was Palarce’s best chance in years to make the 5th Round, given Spurs’ current reliance on their under-11s for strikers. That’s followed at 6pm by another big giant-killing game, with impoverished minnows Chelsea taking on massive Sheffield Wednesday. Judging from the response to last night’s League Cup semi win, expect the Chelsea fans reaction to an unlikely victory to be as modest and humble as ever.
That’s not the end of the Cup action because on Monday night BT have made the slightly bizarre decision to show Barnet-Brentford in the FA Cup at 7.45pm. Also on Monday, we told you there are no snooker tables available that night but we lied, there will be two free for casual players.
Next week, we have Premiership football coming up on Tuesday and Wednesday and the beginning of this year’s Six Nations on Friday, which will have Matt Redmore doing cartwheels of celebration around the park. But more of all that in the week.
