FA Cup

[muleskinner]

Radio 5 are reporting that BBC/Sky have lost out to a combined ITV/Setanta Sports bid for the FA Cup and England away games. Can't find anything else reporting it , anyone heard more about this?

 

Oops, just read Cobs' post in the CL thread.

On the plus side - no more Ian Wright on England games

best get sky sorted and soon then,

[Cobs]

oh right

 

 

No Ian Wright but Andy Townsend & Robbie Earle instead

 

 

not quite a WIN/WIN situation, is it ?

[Gilps]

Are you casting doubt on Townsend and Earle's abilities to provide expert analysis on the international game?
