    They are not showing ManU vs Arsenal in US live, but they are showing it live in Canada. We get the tape delay until Tuesday.

    I hate them because all they are doing is showing Chelsea v Wolves LIVE, then another game no one cares about Bayern Munich v Bayer Leverkeusen, then Leeds v Birmigham City.

    I hate them because they are showing the Metros v Crew on a 2 hour delay.

    And I hate them because Sean Wheelock never returns my e-mails.

    I hate them because my e-mail did not win "the shirt off my back" when my story was damn well better than whoever won. And it was true.

    I hate them because they didn't deliver me lunch today and I had to go out and get it myself.

    Evil bastards. How I hates them.

    Come on don't be so lazy.

    9/20 9:30am EST

    You can find it on their website easily.

    They should show ManU v Arsenal instead of Chelsea vs Wolves because it's huge. If they show it in Canada live, why wouldn't they show it in US? If Wolves win, then you can say it's some game, but I doubt it. The game will probably be totally lobsided.

    Because it probably a PPV game in the US.

    For the newbies, here is how FSW picks the games to show.

    Early Saturday game (KO 7:30 AM Eastern) and most weekday games are shown live.

    The best Saturday 10:00 Eastern game is live on PPV in the USA, the second choice game is on 2 hour delay on FSW.

    The early Sunday game is delayed on FSW at 2:00 PM Eastern, the late Sunday game (Man U vs Arsenal this week) is live on PPV.

    I appreciate any corrections if I have this wrong.

    Presumably the reason it's live in Canada and taped in the USA has something to do with money.

    Metros/Crew is on delay due to the A-League final.

    this is total crap
    everyone knows that the manu-arsenal games are the biggest of the season just saw all the bets being made in england on sky sports.

    and fsw is like home of the premiership yet they cant show this game live???????

    if they have the epl package---why is it on pay per view?????

    im probably gonna go to a bar to see it but still id like to watch it at home.

    is it going to be on the direct tv package??????????

    FSW really dropped the ball on this one and i believe last year they only showed the manu-arsenal game at highbury???????

    and this is a sunday game and i wouldnt mind if it was a 2 hour tape delay but these guys are freaking showing it on tuesday---its probably gonna be on the yes network as well

    and the sunday game we get to see
    birmingham - leeds i believe
    rubbish crap

    Yeah, Matt got the scheduling right. Arsenal-Man U from Highbury was on FSW only because the game had to be moved to midweek because of cup ties. Also, most midweek games feature Sky's "pure" feed (which FSW also used for FA Cup broadcasts last year) as opposed to the 1 announcer feed they work with TWI to produce.
    YES will certainly carry the game later next week. FSW also will carry PPV games once or twice, usually 2-3 days after the game was played.

    Which is exactly why they know all of us would shell out fifteen bucks or spend more than that to patronize a bar that shows soccer in order to watch it.

    Everyone repeat after me: duhhhhhhhhh
