Cable Forum - General ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

I was thinking same thing. I even thought of commenting again on BT facebook.

They may well have him on contract. But they could get him to cover other sports...or woman's football...whatever he says now will make as much sense in any other setting...nonsense :D

I think the mini desk is because it's presenter plus two, whereas their Premier League coverage is usually presenter plus three.

Surprised Owen did the first game, and isn't doing the Arsenal game. Perhaps he has dropped down the pecking order a bit?

Why do BT insist on ruining football coverage with Michael Owen ? Is there a strategy?

It appears to be a Sky masterplan, anything else seems too ludicrous to believe.

Has anyone actually said that? I think the point that was being made was that BT were not as aggressive as Sky with the way they ran their business. I am certainly of the view that customers will get a better deal with BT but none of us expects them to operate at a loss!

At the moment its just a guessing game as to what will happen but MM is usually spot on with his future predictions.

Well the new football season is almost upon us and watching some friendly games on BT I noticed BT are still continuing with the score and logo at the bottom of the screen. I was rather hoping they would of seen sense and starting putting them at the top of the screen. It always looks stupid when they show games from the European leagues and the have the BT logo at the bottom right and the score at the top left! You`d think at least for those games they`d put the logo at the top right,wouldn`t you?
