Premier League on Sky and ESPN

    Just had a quick look, and this is how many times these teams have been live on Sky Sports or ESPN in the Premier League this year:

    Liverpool 17

    Man City 15

    Arsenal 13

    Man United 12

    Chelsea 12

    Everton 6


    I think it's absolutely disgusting that Liverpool get shown as much as they do. I understand that they are one of the most well known clubs in the world, but it's beyond a joke now. This doesn't include the cup games that have been on tele.

    Cancelling sky sports for this very reason, fed up watching Jamie redknapp spout crap about how people keep on touching poor Luis and make him spin around in mid air, super slow mo magnified images to justify him being awarded fouls or to show how unfairly hes treated.

    The tide will turn when sky pull the plug on money, now that they don't have a monopoly.

    It will level the playing field,financially,a little.

    Probably home games dan, so you'll have missed them if you were at the match.

    If that stat is true it is unfucking believable...... So man utd who have won shed loads more in recent years than the scum and they too have a hell of a support have been on 5 games less than the scum.....WTF...... I can totally understand the likes of utd, chelsea, arsenal and even city getting more live games than us because they have been more successful than us over last decade. I know city have only reali come on the scene but due to the millions and millions they have pumped into thier team and the fact they are up at top end of league it was inevitable they would be on tele alot.....

    BUT AS 4 **** LIVERPOOL.......THIS STAT ASTOUNDS ME......THEY ARE FU-CKING DIRTY ROTTEN RACIST TRAMPS AND THEY GET MORE THAN ANY1 ELSE.........................DISGRACE

    ye lets forget about united city and RS games.


    I want more blakburn bolton and everton games on that will pull in the viewers.


    what do you expect, do you remember the city game when we lost 2-0 and just defended for 90mins, the commentators we talking about the advertising on the side of the pitch and the shirt sponsers the match was that boring.

    Like I said, I know they are a huge club and they attract the most viewers, but I'm just showin another way in which football is so money orientated these days and it'd not about the football anymore.

    On the plus side, one of those games got the bucktoothed diving racist banned for a load of games and another has once again shown him up as a diving cheat.......works for me..........

    Its a joke that you have to spend a fortune to get these channels over a season to watch live football and then have your team hardly ever feature on it.

    Sky sports will hava a fight on there hands and i can see the value of the prem going up and more money commin in for the next few years.

    There is that saudi group that just bought the rights for the frence prem league and they will enter the battle for the next bidding wars against Sky and ESPN.

    I totally agree, even if they had efc tv and sky together so we could watch all our games would work!! but to have us on that little is a f*****g joke, blackpool have been on more than us!! P****s me right off, they need to remember its about the football and they need to show some respect for the proper teams, its not all about the money or the rs!!
