Football Coverage Questions

Just thought i'd ask these Questions?
Which Channel is superior for football Coverage?
In my opinion Sky is still supreme but the BBC are i feel catching up nicely, with more England Friendly Internationals and more FA Cup and getting back the premiership highlights it has really got the BBC to a more higher level and trying to compete more with Sky
Which Channel has improved for football?
I suppose apart from John Barnes presenting, Five have vastly improved in terms of Studio Guests, new graphics and a good commentary team. In the old days on Five They always had Pat Nevin as a Studio Guest and had quite an awful studio but they should be praised for better football Coverage
Which Channel Would you like to see for Football Coverage?
Again as above i'd like to see five get more games as i feel if they were given more games they would do a good job but i'd like to see more matches on ITV2 and ITV3

what do others think?

Sky Sports - Full matches - Excellent post match analysis - Andy Gray.

Shame they dont show the Scottish stuff - the coverage of Scottish football up here is dreadful with two teams consistantly hogging the telly.

Your point about Scottish Football- They do show the other teams on PPV sometimes on Setanta
Also Sky did Show a fair balance of Scottish Football a Few Seasons ago

Yeah but every game is Cetic V someone or Rangers V someone, also Setanta is seperate from Sky Sports and is also, as you point out PPV, so even if you have the sports package - you dont get it.

And your right - Sky did show a fair balance a few years ago until the SPL got greedy and decided, in their wisdom, to ask for more from sky than it was worth - so sky told them where to go.
