Reading
Leicester
Cardiff
Forest
Sheff Utd
Preston
Sheff Wed
Derby

BBC
WBA
Ipswich
Boro

...that's 11 times already and it's not even 2010 yet!

Because Newcastle are a massive club according to sky and the fat geordies. Bloody well hate Newcastle and the fact there on Sky everyweek is sickening as there is much better football going on in league 1 and 2 and teams in these leagueswould appreicate the money by sky much more.

At least they were playing a decent side today and they didn't win either.

Ridiculous isn't it? As you say there are teams who could use the TV money far more, yet Newcastle are on almost every frigging week.

The Beeb made a sound move by having the Newcastle/Boro match on, but it's still ridiculous that they've been on that many times.

I can't remember when Sunderland were last on TV

Sunderland have appeared on live TV 4 times this season. Three times on Sky Sports & once on ESPN.


Sky games were:
Norwich v Sunderland - Carling Cup
Burnley v Sunderland - Premiership
Sunderland v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Premiership

ESPN game was:
Manchester United v Sunderland - Premiership
