I really hope theirs a revamp here. Skys coverage in all probably is next to none but dictatorship isn't appealing. Bring in Al Jazeera to mix it up, keep everyone on their tippy toes.
For once I bet VM have their feet up just watching on

Who ever wins the rights us as customers really need not worry, Sky and VM will ensure they carry a EPL in some form from 2013 so its a none issue from that point of view.
But what is an issue if just who many place will we have to buy or football from? AJ/ESPN/SKY?? Its only going to end up costing us more..

I know a lot around here hate Sky but without it we would be paying more for less believe it or not. If Skylose the rights to EPL they also save £500 million+ for other things, then make AJ pay to be on the EPG.

If al-Jazeera do win some games than I wouldn't be suprised to see Gary Lineker as the lead presenter.

Well Lineker is already employed by AJ for their football, I just hope if they do win they aren't expensive as I won't be canceling Sky sports as I would lose too many other sports. I do love watching football but my pocket has a limit and its currently at that limit.
