They can only not show teams if they are involved in the CL on Tuesday. They also made a conscious decision to stick Liverpool v Man United on MNF instead of Super Sunday. This had nothing to do with European football. Sky could easily have had a Super Sunday or Man City v Everton followed by Liverpool v Man United. They didn't even look at the first game and opted for the second game to be MNF. There is a calculated decision to spread games around the different packages.
As for your other comment, if you like football you do like football, but there is a limit to what you wish to watch when it doesn't involve your own team or teams that have a direct influence on your teams fortunes. You admit to having almost no interest in European football, despite some of it being really high quality. But you have a limit on what you wish to watch.
Middlesbrough v Watford and Southampton v Burnley are obviously of great interest to fans of those teams, and potentially to fans of teams who believe that they may be battling those teams down at the bottom or for a Europa spot, etc. But for most they are games that can be easily missed, especially with Liverpool v United tonight.
