Is there even a good reason for this and seems weird sticking two title rivals in that time. Can imagine it will also be very difficult for Liverpool fans travelling up from London so early to get to the game on time

    Ever since klopp Liverpool have played 13 or 14 times in that time slot , Tottenham is second with 6 matches at that time …

    I am not sure it’s some kinda conspiracy or anything but it’s just plain weird

      Not weird though is it? It’s only weird if you’re assuming every team should get an equal scheduling distribution which is never the case. They’ll be other teams that play many more Monday night games for example.

      Liverpool act like the opposition don’t have to play at 12.30pm too and they’re somehow impeded by that time slot. there’s no disadvantage.

      Its not a conspiracy, and you’re insane if you think an extra 2 and half hours makes any difference.

      You are popular in Asia, that is the Asia time slot… because you are popular in Asia you are picked for that time slot more often, and therefore get more TV money (for being picked 28 times a season to be on TV, compared to other clubs only getting picked 10-12 times) and thus you get vastly more sponsorship money.

      But sure the extra £400m you get compared to the other 14 clubs is a conspiracy…
