wow, last year's finals match-up gets disrespected like that? Just goes to show how premiership-tilted the american soccer fans really are.
I do appreciate that all of the matches make it onto FSC by the time I get home from work, however. I can DVR the FS+ game at 5pm Eastern on FSC and still watch it the same day.
You guys could always start doing home invasions and beating up United supporters watching their televisions.

We have to read every thread, "omg freakin why is United getting the best timeslot!? wtf!?" So I figure, if it bothers you that United is the most popular team in the country, you might need to find a solution to that.
It doesn't bother me in the least. It's a fact of life and it drives the programming decisions of both FSC and ESPN. Unlike in past years, I can now watch every Champions League match so I'm not worried about where the game I want to see is shown and if it's shown live.
It was more directed at It's like coming to New York City and saying, "Just goes to show how many people speak English here."
hey - some people come to New York and only interact with people in their preferred neighborhood. That neighborhood will be FS+ on February 23rd at 2:30
Real Corona, thanks for the smart ass comment. I really appreciate it. Keep it up. That premiership-tilted comment was an observation more than a complaint. I made that comment to illustrate how a rematch of a CL final is secondary when premiership clubs are playing. I'm fairly new to the board. Don't think I even have 50 comments. If you get butt-hurt about people complaining about man u coverage, take it up with them. Otherwise fock off.
