Carragher is awful, agreed.

Saturday Night is an awful slot because:
- Most of TV viewers are watching Strictly/X Factor.
- Broadcasters know this slot is badly watched so Sky will put it's 3rd/4th pick of the weekend in it (SS1 & 2, MNF), unless there is European commitments in the following mid-week.
- People are usually out/men let their wives have the remote.
I agree 12.45pm is bad slot, but only logistically, that I don't get to see many. They can be good games. Che 3 - 5 Ars for eg. And derbies get this slot a lot due to police instructions.
