The times seem to be wrong on the website though:
Well no there not.

Anji game is a 4pm kick off (Like all Russian Games - 3 hour time difference and cold weather). Therefore once that is done there will be a big build up to Spurs game from 6.45pm

After the clocks have changed we will still be three hours behind Moscow

So i believe it is at 1700 in the UK

That means a whole hour build up of Spurs

4 out 4 Liverpool picks

0 out of Newcastle picks

The website says 330 and 645 pm

That is true for now as these times will automaticallymove to 430 and 745pm when the clocks change on Sunday !!!!

If you see the Man City game is being trailed a 630 pm

Would ITV show Newcastle if they were the only side to make it through to the knock-out stagfes or would ESPN keep them?

ITV would show them as they have first pick of matches.

Correct.
The times on the website will be correct after Sunday when the server clock changes to GMT.

The other game being shown by ESPN on Thursday 25th October is Panathinaikos v Lazio at 6pm.
And in a tediously unoriginal move by ESPN Matchday 4's pick
is Lazio v Panathinaikos

Yeah this is something I just don't get...who would watch this? Surely only of interest to people who want to watch football but can't bear to watch Spurs...why not pick a game from another group? They used to do this so much...but I had hoped with choosing Rosenberg-Bayer Leverkusen that they had opted for some more interesting games. But alas no...

The Lazio match is interesting. Lazio are one of the biggest teams in the Italian League, and at least they are one of the teams heard of.

There isn't too much interest in the competition outside of the British teams anyway. They may as well pick a match from the same group as Tottenham.

Well Bilbao-Lyon would have been a good alternative for me or Partizan-Inter Milan...or if we want British interest then "Steve McLaren's FC Twente"-Levante would be a good option too although ESPN are taking their league game from the weekend on tape delay basis against Feyenoord

Last night ESPN were plugging NUFC v Maritimo on Matchday 5 (22nd November, 8.05pm), meaning (particularly as Newcastle may be qualified by MD6) it looks like a clean sweep of Newcastle on ESPN and Liverpool/Spurs on ITV, which sadly shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Well ITV finally have NOT chosen Man U next time (only because they are qualified)

Liverpool group is very close so it WILL be six out of six (yawn)

At least I have ESPN so I have enjoyed the Newcastle matches

ESPN over ITV for me, much better coverage and pundits.

There isn't anything wrong with ITV picking Liverpool.

In terms of popularity, Liverpool are a far more popular side in terms of supporters. And they are in a group with better rated sides apart from Youngs Boys Bern. Its also been a far more competitve group from the first round of matches, so its more than obvious why they would show only Liverpool games. They arent a charity, they are about getting viewers, which sells adverts. Liverpool matches get more viewers, and would sell more adverts its simple. Showing a Newcastle game in the group stage as it stands is just throwing viewers, and money away.

Anji surely a 5pm start? Finish about 6.50 for Hannover game 2nd half at 7.

That is a fair point and anyway Newcastle will get selected by ITV for the knock-out stages once Liverpool are probably knocked out.

TBF The 2 home Liverpool games have been pretty good as well plus their opening match was a 5-3 cracker.

I have a feeling that Newcastle fans will need an ESPN subscription.
Matchday Six has been announced

Liverpool have been chosen by ITV 4 6 times

Newcastle have been relegated to ESPN 6 times

Spurs (with no competition) have been picked 6 times

There could be a chance that we will still have only 3 teamsin the Last 32

Tonights Champions League Matches could also mean there could be up to SIX teams in the Last 32 !!!!

+ Man C Celtic and Chelsea

Basically they are admitting they will show Liverpool even if it is a dead match
