Hoping to see Milan - Werder Bremen there... SA
I'm not usually one to complain and I do love me some Setanta but c'mon. I watched the Villa-CSKA match and was getting psyched to see the Bremen-Milan match. I am not happy when the Arsenal-Cardiff match from Mon shows up. I just figure that it will air later and then there is a scrolling message saying 2:00 EST, so I figure, OK, I dont know who won, just will dvr it and watch it tomorrow morning. Then it says 4pm. Again, OK, I'll watch Spurs and then Bremen. Now it's saying they can not show it. ARRRRGGGHHH. This is unacceptable.
Can't wait for CSKA Aston Villa part II. Today was great and next week will be 1-1. Glad it will be on demand on ESPN360.
So I was watching the Donetsk-Spurs match from Thurs and i had my dvr record a few extra minutes of the match. Much to my shagrin, the Bremen-Milan match that Setanta claimed would not air, did in fact air on replay Thurs at 4. Very annoying for me as a Bremen supporter. Anyone have any idea of where i might be able to find the 2nd leg this week? I don't see the match listed on Setanta or FSC so I'm hoping that Goltv will pick it up? Someone tell me yes even though I doubt it.
Thanks for the info but I could've done without all that forza nonsense. So you support Milan? I don't want to speak ill of the elderly but if I wanted to watch old timers play I'd support my local 40+ squad.
yea, I would support them too if they would have won 2 champions league trophies in the past 5 years and a club world cup. also some of them won the World cup in Germany ! teach schaffer how to do the offside than come talk football !!!
So a spot in the UEFA Cup and 3rd in the Serie A wouldn't be considered the beginning or perhaps even the middle of a downward spiral? I know Bremen might be having a rough season but I have to say that I am enjoying the decline of ME-lan.
I'm sure trying to lowball the MLS and being turned down by the LA Galaxy for an old Beckham would qualify as decline as well...
Haha. Nice. Or better yet, an old Beckham going from the last place Galaxy and WALKING into the starting lineup for ME-lan. Don't see him doing that at a Man U or Barcelona. But yeah, they were in 2 of the last 5 CL finals .
