As a Chelsea fan I was pleased to see their online TV scheduling to show Chelsea v Blackburn this afternoon, and Spurs v Arsenal this morn, but instead I get rubbish Hammers v Boro. All they show all day is their absurd fox soccer report, with useless pundits, which normally I could turn a blind eye to, except they replay that show up to 8 times a day. The MLS is awful, and terrible games like that will not excite a countries interest in the beautiful game. I will not get DirecTV, because Rupert should not be rewarded for dropping the best football in the world over the drizzle it'll be showing now... and please don't lie about your listings FSC... that's just childish!

As a dedicated Bayern fan, I regularly watch Bundesliga and EPL football. FSC and MLS can eat shit and die! I’m mad as hell! As a dedicated Bayern fan, I regularly watch Bundesliga and EPL football.

I've seen better kids soccer games in the UK than MLS games.<br/><br/>As a Liverpool fan living on the West Coast, its goodbye to watching live games. There is no way in hell that I am getting up at 4 a.m. to watch - even if I had satellite which I don't nor ever will.<br/><br/>This is the worst live schedule that I have seen in the whole time that I've lived out here. I hope FSC go broke - bastards! The MLS is a joke. I’ve seen better kids soccer games in the UK than MLS games.

As a Liverpool fan living on the West Coast, its goodbye to watching live games. There is no way in hell that I am getting up at 4 a.m. to watch – even if I had satellite which I don’t nor ever will.

This is the worst live schedule that I have seen in the whole time that I’ve lived out here. I hope FSC go broke – bastards!

I had thought about paying extra for Setanta in the past, but I did not. Not until I learned about the EPL deal. Not only do Setanta get EPL games, they get *first choice* of games. So if you love Liverpool, ManUnited or Arsenal, this is a must have. If you love Spurs, you have more problems than you know! I think it is important to understand that FSC and DirecTV are both owned by Rupert Murdoch.

While I like to watch games via the tele, I purchased Sirius Radio a few years ago and have not been upset I did. They normally broadcast the 7:30 game, one of the 10 am game, every once in a while the 12 pm kickoff and the Sunday games. Last year I believe they broadcasted all mid week games. <br/><br/>I'm just a sports freak period. I have the premiumtv online subscription, Chelsea FC Online subscription, and look forward to seeing more games live on FSC this year. If I could only afford that Setanta subscription if the one online TV deal goes through. For me, I am not as upset as many other people.
