I wouldn't stay in watch the Chelsea game if it was on directly after the Arsenal one.

And most tv sports groups have lots of channels, so it's no big deal if two teams from the same country are on at the same time.

It's a joke that game in the UK start before people can get to ground after work and that games in Europe coud see penaties for well after 11.30.
I always imagine that when matches finish late in Europe the debonair locals wander out of the stadium and sit for a while at a pavement café, enjoying a coffee and a cognac before returning to their stylish city centre apartments, all light wood flooring and minimalist furniture, where their wives, human rights lawyers all, cook dishes of pasta in carefully lit kitchens whilst drinking red wine out of huge goblets. Afterwards, they retire to bed and enjoy enthusiastic and athletic but respectful intercourse.

It's more glamourous up the foreigns.
