Premier League
 
Extremely disappointed with the premier league coverage this season.

To cancel or not to cancel sportsnet...that is the question.

I never renewed Sportsnet World this season and I have found most of the games on the free HD channels or at a pinch on a stream.

Last year I recorded virtually every game now i'm finding that not all games are being shown plus there over three channels so I can not record one of them they aren't getting the teams right on the guide and they are not getting repeated at a later time so i can fix there mistakes!

No, I understand. On the flip side I've finished a lot more work on the weekends.

Coverage seems pretty good to me. At least 4 games including TSN on a Saturday morning plus recorded games. Two games on a Sunday plus midweek games.
Championship is where it's at anyway.

I don't understand. Unless I'm putting emphasis on "this season" that you didn't mean.

Presentation is the same as it's always been; the only difference I see is sometimes there's a choice of three games instead of "just" two. That's a good thing - except where there's no "lunchtime" Saturday match and having a choice of three doesn't really replace the missed game.

As for the wrong game listed, I use canadasoccer and although it's not as quick and full as it's predecessor, it appears to be accurate.

Perhaps the person running it has a contact rather than relying on the schedule. :unsure:

If you cancel rogers sportsnet you will only be left with tsn and tsn2 to watch matches keep it going.

Will the champions of europe be defending their title this year? Oh I forgot they qualified for the group stage matches. How is that going BTW;)
Lord help us if they win the Club World Cup if they beat Corinthians.
I tend to think this article is diminishing their stature as a great team;)

I find the benefit of having sportsnet world online is if you work away/when games are on you can still watch the whole match later :thumbsup:

but we are still in the europa cup.

This is very wrong.....not Chelsea specific but the fact that a team gets knocked out of one competition into another. A team that has come through qualifying rounds and then a group stage of the europa then ends up playing a team that was not good enough for the CL but probably still superior to europa opposition thus shattering the smaller teams dream in the name of the 'bigger' clubs maintaining a gravy train :thumbdown:
