Most English matches, because of the time difference, occur at 7am, when I don't think you're normally astir. Actually, for you they'll be at 8am. Kelvin, are you actually awake in the mornings?

Actually, for you they’ll be at 8am.

There must be quite a few people from south of the border in your neck of the woods, and they sensibly prefer football to "football". Not all that surprising, now that I think of it.

Every time I've tried to catch a Premiership game on the in-laws' cable, it's been "live", but a couple of weeks old, and that's on yon Fox Sports World. Lucky beggar, is all I can say. One thing I've always wondered about was when BBC South Today would show footage of Brighton games, and it'd have a "pictures provided by Meridian" in the corner, except Meridian didn't televise the game. I've often wondered who's watching these games that are being filmed, but not actually broadcast anywhere... Interesting.

The Soccer Shop in town has a big screen TV which shows the matches. They also show them at the Streets of London Pub in Sacramento and at a few other venues around the place too. ESPN seems to carry Champions League and UEFA cup matches, etc. The things that Sky (and thereby Fox) don't have the rights to.

Where? Where in America is there a place that will show a Pally vs Norwich game? What an utterly ridiculous idea. You get televised Norwich games? Where?
