More good Premiership action yesterday. Chelski have closed the gap slightly with the top 2 drawing at New Highbury. Great to see Portsmouth stuff Newcastle too. I do like Harry Redknapp.

It just would not be a Man Utd game without Fergie having a moan and tring to get the ref to give him a pen the next time he officiates one of their games.Hleb was fouled before their first goal and there was a handball in their area as well.So these things have a way of evening themselves out.

I couldn't believe it when Fergie began moaning about the ref, especially after Wes Brown elbowed Hleb off the ball before one of ManUSAs goals. Him and Ricky Benitez make a right pair!

I did laugh when I saw an online headline ''Avram shuns MOTD''. What the heck has upset the Grantster I wondered ..... apparently he had simply avoided watching MOTD on his telly at home because ''I only want to know about my team''. The more I see and read about this guy the more I like him.

A great comeback by Norwich in the local derby versus Ipswich. Darren Huckerby got his marching orders too.

Bats.

The Premiership may be very popular around the world but so is the FA Cup and England's international matches. (Must be all those ex-pats around the globe).
A new deal was struck this week by the FA with overseas networks to cover FA Cup and England games for the next four years.
The cost? A whopping 145 million quid.
Four years ago, the same contract went for 40 million.

Whatever may be said about the football game in England, it seems the rest of the world cannot get enough of the action.

Dave.
The Premiership is very popular here in Asia and we are lucky enough to get 3 or 4 live games shown on the box over the weekend. But it's strange that here in the Phils we only get to watch the England matches shown on a Saturday, the midweek qualifiers are not shown at all, yet we get to watch the Champions League matches. There are also a few unscrupulous companies who link up to channels off air and show matches from the UK on Saturday nights, no complaints there.

When I was last home I semm to remember that the average cost for a decent Sky package was about 45 a month. Well here it's not as dynamic as blighty and footy is probably the last thing on most Filipinos minds, but here we pay around 55 quid for the year and if we pay in advance for the year, we get an extra 2 months free, so after 6 years of payment, the 7th year is free, not bad eh? Beat that Sky!

The two big sports channels are ESPN and Star Sports and despite advertising the matches to be shown at 0400 (8pm UK) Hong Kong time on Thursday morning, we end up with girlie rounders and even more riveting stuff, I don't think, National Spelling Championships from the USA. How can that be a sport? Can't see red cards being waved around here. No fan adoration here, only from mummy and daddy, throw up.

Every Sunday morning we get Football Extra, a kind of MOTD format with the highlights of Saturdays games and presented by the beautiful Jamie Yeo, and this girl knows tons of stuff about the great game. For some strange reason I cannot seem to add pictures to this thread but I will send you the link to see a picture of the delectable Jamie.

Thank you FA for allowing us ex pats to be able to keep up with our football lives back home, but do something about showing the midweek games here.

Welcome to Jamie Yeo's official site

On MOTD2 last night it was shown that 1 3/4 minutes elapsed between the alledged foul and our equaliser.When Fergie got kicked in the nuts a few weeks ago it must have have affected his brain.

As the Asian market opens up and more money is pumped into the Premiership, it will constitute 90% of clubs' income, even the top clubs will have no choice but to make entrance to games free.

Here is a picture of the lovely Jamie and it's so much better than looking at Lawrenson and Co.
