Showtime for Premier League and Championship
Art for Champs League
Al Jazeera for FA Cup and England Internationals

Is how i think it works... I only have showtime, if we beat Blackburn might have to invest in card and watch us get knocked out in the next round "live" against chelski...

Yeah, found this out sadly,loads of Primadonnaship coverage, but no FA Cup.

I take it that's it's an Al Jazeera sports channel? We only get the news channel, and I ain't paying out for tv cahnnels - had enough of that malarky back in the UK.

Will have to sort out that UK VPN...

see my post above, it's a legit card the daft knackers just make it more difficult to track down than a dodgy one

180dhs for 12 months

word is they'll be challenging for the Premier next season too

*not that that will bother you ! still haven't forgiven Jimmy Hill for 1977 :mad:

oh you mean Al Jazeera, not Cov!

So what will happen to McCaffrey then?

Did we send you down in 77? To be honest we must have done that to many a club over the years, oh the heady days of a Div 1/Premiership relegation scrap...

We were the 4th longest serving club in the top league until our demise into obscurity...
