Default Foxtels coverage of the EPL

Foxtel claim to have great coverage of the EPL, so why didn't they show the Blackburn/Man. United match? Instead we had a replay of Geelongs game, a rugby Union match and soccer game from a lower division...well thanks for nothing foxtel

sry guys had to vent somewhere, no point contacting foxtel as all they care about is money

Dude, to be fair to foxtel their coverage this season has been outstanding.

For some ridiculous reason they haven't been showing the late premier league game on sat night, not sure wtf is going on with that. I was also mightily pissed off when i realised the United game wasn't on, especially as i had invited two of my friends over to watch the game.

Not too sure why the Stoke V Bristol City game was on over that, i know they've agreed to one championship game a weekend but still.

If it's not on TV, you should still be able to watch it for free on MyP2P.eu :: Free Live Sports on your PC, Live Football, MLB, NBA, NHL and more...
We haven't got Sky Sports here where I'm staying in NZ, but as long as the quality of the stream is good, I don't mind watching it on the net.

Its only Man U, the bandwagoners can put up with missing one of their 56 games a year.

By the way, great news that Fox Sports will show a Championship game each week (moving to Melbourne in September).
As a Charlton Athletic supporter I haven't been able to see us on Sky Sports NZ. The occasional game has been shown on the web address I mentioned before...but with Chinese commentary (still better than not watching it at all)

Perhaps if your team weren't so stingy and actually spent money (and lets be honest, they have more money then they are prepared to spend) then they would be able to challenge for the top four. Still suprises me the amount of jealousy there is for a team like Manchester United

dude, the chances of the game being a Charlton one isn't that good. I think i've seen them on once maybe twice (not that i've really been looking). I guess it's better than nothing though.

I guess that the Championship game they will be showing, is the same one which Sky Sports in the UK broadcasts.
We've been on TV 7 times this season, which isn't a lot, but still better than nothing (which you also wrote).
Not easy to follow one of the less glory sides, especially not if they're outside the Premier League and you live abroad.

Yeh supporting a championship team is very difficult abroad. Even if you support one of the lower finishing EPL teams you can normally watch them every week because Foxtel play pretty much every single game live.

I'm pretty lucky in that i get to see every single United game live (beside that blackburn one). I normally watch other game as well though.
