Yeah, I saw that score on the BBC football page.

I sure hope those are not the uni's ManU will wear this year... Yuk!

I am a bit depressed about the upcomming premire league season. Was flipping through the remote the other day, and FSC is now "green" in the guide page. Which means its unavailable! I've not taken the time to investigate, but I am betting its gone to a subscription based availability. Which really is going to piss me off, as we have one of the highest package deals w/ dish network. Part of which (at the time) was to get FSC within that package. If it comes down to dish network trying to screw the VERY FEW soccer/football fans in the US, into paying a huge subscription fee to get the EPL access, well then F-them. ESPN was showing one match a week last year, guess I'll make do with that...

Cheers paps We have had a good pre-season and the team looks pretty good, with a few youngsters playing really well. Its pretty much the same team as last year. Chicharito is gonna be a cracking player.

Yeah, thats our new away shirt for this season. Not the best, but better than some of the shirts in the past.

Sucks. Happened over here a few years ago. Most matches were shown on Sky Sports, until Sentanta sports bought the rights to show half of them. Unfortunatley we would have to subscribe to Setanta in order to watch the games. So we just watch the ones that are shown on Sky sports. Its abit crap tbh.

Yeah, Sentanta was free for a while over here, then went subscription based. If the fee was reasonable, I would have thought about it, but its insanly expensive. Which makes absolutly no sence over here... Their yearly fees was 2-3 times more than the yearly basketball, baseball, or hockey chanel packages.  NO ONE watches soccer over here, when compared to the NFL, NBA, MLB, or NHL. I am in the vast minority of Americans that will stop down on a Sat. morning to watch a few matches. To me its totally ass backwards. You would think they would have vastly lower subscription fees over here, just to increse their market share footprint.

EDIT:

Well. Good news on the FSC delima. What I was seeing in the guide page on our dish network was not FSC, it was something new. FSC+ Both are FoxSoccerChanel, but the new one is additional $ . So... I am looking good on the Sat. morning EPL fix! I also caught a blurb on sports center tonight that ESPN has signed a 3 year extension w/ the EPL, so will get an additional Sat. morning match and UEFA weekday matches as well
