good to see a team from up north enjoy their day out and not disturb this amazing family orientated clubs huge day. A stark contrast to the hundreds, not just a few, of Yorkshire scum Leeds fans who in 1990 terrorized not only football fans and families in the stands but all around the town in Bournemouth. Pure 100% Yorkshire pompous scum.

It's beyond excellent IMO. Why does the UK have nothing like this? Here we get to watch ANY and ALL matches for a reasonable price. I've just set my Dad in the UK up with a US registered Roku account using some funky IP routing via my US shell account so they too can watch the football.

The Sky News App is very good, though the recently introduced adverts are annoying.

Yeah. I stick it on in the morning to catch up on the news. The only downside to that is its during Kay Burley's show. I swear, that woman loses the plot just a little more each day. Some of her interviews are just plain cringeworthy. My little 9 month old loves the temperature globe they show during the UK commercials though.
As to the coverage in the UK, I believe it's along the same lines as the blackouts of NFL games here. The FA don't want to show every Saturday game for fear of affecting attendances. Personally, I don't think it would have much effect at all.

Great isn't it, we discovered George a few weeks ago. They have just shown the latest series in the UK I believe.

Good news. One of the best parts (for me at least) about being in America in NBC Sports access to the Premier League.

I set my Roku up as a "UK-Roku" so I could get NowTV and watching Sky Sports. Unfortunately it's buffering quite a bit on the Roku (but works on the PC and the iPad).

Being able to get up in the morning, watch the Hammers play and then have the rest of the weekend free is absolutely brilliant! Very pleased NBC have picked it up again. Anything but Fox!
