Mmmmm.....I'm lovin it!

Well...the smell atleast.
Cos I'm not sure if I can get a taste of it here in the USA.
Of what???????
FOOTBALL - THE EPL.

The Community Shield just got over and Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-1, Crouch heading home the winner. This is (surprisingly) what the (usually bitter) Jose had to say post-match, "They are a very difficult team to beat. When you play them you can win, lose or draw."
DUUHHHH????? As if anything else was possible in football !!!
What an @$$!!

But this is why I love it...the whole feel and excitement of a Season start....aaaaaahhh...and it bugs me to no-end cos I can't get to watch it here!! Grrrr....makes me wish I was at home or in B'lore stuck to the television, watching John Dykes and Co. disussing about my favourite sport, league and team.

*SNIFF*

Dude

Fox Sports Network carries coverage of the Premiership out here. You cannot be guaranteed live action of all matches (especially something like ManU - Arse), but they show the action every weekend.

This is a paid channel though...

@DreamSporting: yea i know dude! Checkin which channel telecasts the EPL was one of the first things I did after coming here :) But it's paid!!! and I dunno anyone so far who has THAT channel...Believe me, I've been shamelessly asking people I don't even know if they have it!! :(

hehe...

FSN comes along with the sports package (atleast thats how it is packaged with Time Warner). While the sports package is only $5, you need to have digital cable service along with that. Thats a $25 after playing for basic cable. So, overall, around $50

If you watch regular TV, then, its not a bad deal. But $50 just for FSN is asking too much. Have you tried figuring out if there is a British pub that shows these games around your place?
