It may be a sign of things already here rather than to come.

I just noticed that this Saturday, Sportsnet 360 not only has the Liverpool-Arsenal match, but Chelsea-Newcastle as the "3.00" game and then Swansea-Cardiff, while the only other Sportsnet live game is on World.

Nothing on SN One or the Zoned channels. The schedules aren't far enough ahead to see what happens after this weekend.

this is a good accurate source for what is on. I imagine that the Winter Olympics may be on sportsnet in some forum....tsn as well. TSN2 and tsn.ca also have games. All is not lost.

Im conflicted.... got 2 arsenal defenders in my fantasy team...

Its been a while since they played anyone with some talent up front so Im not completely pessimistic about it. Usually that means a crushing defeat awaits..

I've used that one for years. Unfortunately it's not as complete or up to date as it used to be. They didn't have the league cup semi finals listed a few weeks ago. I've often had to double check the Sportsnet site as a back up and even refer to livesoccer as well.

I've been on to Shaw and I'm happy with the outcome. There are a couple of channels the others in the house got used to on a free trial that they have missed since. For an extra $3 I can upgrade the package to include 360 as well as those channels they missed and a movie channel that looks okay too.

Bayern again or Manchester City will win the Champions League is my guesstimate.

I did say it would be ridiculous, but the irony of liverpool making the top 4 and ManU still pissing on our biscuits is almost too much for the gods to resist I fear.

It's also on NBC as well apparently. The Chelski Newcastle game is on 360 afterwards....come on you Geordies.

Then it's over to the BBC for the Calcutta Cup.

Numb bum on Saturday me thinks.

Thing is, though, we all know the CL doesn't get won back to back. So if Man City is a real possibility (and I think they are) that means they knock out Barcelona. If Arsenal were to repeat what they did against Bayern (just as Man City disposed of them too - okay, there's a slight argument it didn't matter) then Barca and Bayern - the two biggest obstacles would be out and the trophy could be anyone's to win. Especially if the best teams left faced each other in the draw.

It's all set up for an "undeserved" win. Like ManU.

It is quite likely. Just as when teams draw opponents with former players or managers. The odds are against it but it happens.

I get more exercise on my seat when the rugby's on. I find I can't sit still...I'm tackling, dummying passes, all sorts.

I never kick or head a ball in the footie.

The day Chelsea did that to Spurs was the worst day in my life.
