Keepy Ups

Again from EPLTalk

What many UK expats discover upon moving to the USThey show more games on Television over here

I was shocked to find that out myself. There's also most Champions League and Uefa Cup ties, though you have to figure out a way to take time off of work to watch. You also get selected, La Liga, Serie A, La Championat, and Bundesliga matches as well as internationals if they are interesting. You do have to have digital cable and/or satellite to get them all, but the thing is, they are a lot cheaper than the corresponding services are in the UK.

Also exciting, we no longer have to pay 20 dollars at a pub to watch England lose in Euro, the group stages on are going to be televised on ESPN Networks not setanta premium. You can watch it at home on REGULAR cable!

Gamst is out!

Another case of "when the hell are the FAs of different countries going to start compensating clubs for their loses". I love my beloved England national team and I do not want to see things discourage the best national players getting call ups. BUT! I would be pissed if my club's star player was hurt for two important prem matches and an all important UEFA cup knockout, for an international friendly. It's probably why Fat Frank was the only Chelsea player "healthy" enough to play (;)).

This is particularly disappointing though, because as That's on Point said the other day, It's Morten Gamst Pederson's world, we are all just living in it. I really enjoy watching him play (and yes even against City this season).
