‘Normally a bottle of red wine down by then’ – David Moyes hints he’s not happy with unusual Everton kick-off time


DAVID MOYES has revealed that Everton’s late kick-off against Wolves might throw a spanner into his Saturday night routine.

The Moyesiah worries Everton’s 8pm trip to the West Midlands might throw havoc into his down time.

Wolves host Everton at 8pm on Saturday due to broadcasting reasons.

The Prem clash was selected for TV broadcast by TNT Sports.

TNT will also show Nottingham Forest‘s home clash against Manchester City during their usual 12:30pm Saturday slot.

Still, Everton are set for 8pm because Sky Sports have the 5:30pm spot on weekends, and they are showing Brentford vs Aston Villa.

But Moyes hinted that he’s far from happy with the strange late kick-off.

On playing at 8pm, Moyes said: “I’m normally a bottle of red wine down by that time on a Saturday!

“If you’re a traditionalist then you probably don’t see 8pm on a Saturday night as a good kick-off time.

“But it’s the way it’s going and I think football clubs are signing up to it due to the money that is coming in from the broadcasters.

“We have to go with it even if it will ruin some people’s Saturday night out.”

Moyes is known for his love of a good glass of red, as he’s frequently recalled enjoying a bottle with Sir Alex Ferguson from time-to-time.


TNT have 52 live Premier League matches this season.

After deciding against selecting certain games in recent weeks, TNT have some extra slots for the remainder of the campaign.

At the time of selection, Wolves vs Everton looked to be potentially important in the relegation battle.

However, since then, both sides have pulled away from the bottom three, with Everton 15 points clear and ten above Wolves.

Wolves will be without top scorer Matheus Cunha for at least the next three matches.

The Brazilian will start the first game of his suspension following his red card against Bournemouth in Wolves’ FA Cup defeat last weekend. 

It is alleged Cunha “acted in an improper manner” after he was sent off for clashing with Cherries defender Milos Kerkez in the final minute of extra time.

The 25-year-old lashed out at Kerkez three times – fighting and kicking out at him before aiming a headbutt when the Hungary full-back got back to his feet.

Meanwhile, Everton’s Abdoulaye Doucoure returns after missing the Brentford draw due to the birth of his son.
