I think the Premier League are missing a trick by not allowing all the final day games to be shown live as they did in the last two years during the Covid restrictions.

Why? No additional viewers are likely to watch any additional matches - each of us can only watch one at a time - so it is not in the broadcasters' interests - indeed BT would rather have a game earlier in an exclusive slot than have a second pick go up against two or three from Sky.

There aren't any additional viewers out there.

Under the existing deals, Sky could save, say, six picks, but they too do not consider it worthwhile.
