    I highly doubt it will make any impact.

    Guess you don't know much (anything?) about GolTV

    http://www.goltv.tv/eng_index.php

    Much, much more than the EPL

    Impact? What kind of impact do you expect TV to make?

    You should read my interview with paul from about a month back when he was in Toronto 4 days after signing the deal with Spurs. Also look for my interview with Edgar Davids coming in a few weeks. I will post any interviews I get for bigsoccer.com This website is the greatest around and truly brings the best of fans together to unite in celebration of the glorious game. cheers and chimo to all you fans

    Great news. Sunday games have always been a piss off here in Vancouver. Shaw had them as PPV, but he thing is they never existed here. They use to be listed all week, up until they start time, but come game time they would be replaced by some crap movie. Nothing like waking up at 6:45 to watch a game only to be disappointed to find even though its listed all week that its not on tv. This is great news.

    I hope Gol TV Canada plays the same lineup as in the states and doesn't cost a fortune. Maybe it'll be added to the existing Rogers digital sports package.
