Out of curiosity Tim, do you get a lot of coverage of football (soccer) over there? Like, are you ever able to watch any games or highlights or anything? I wonder if you do, is there a specific American show that shows these games or do you just get British football shows aired out there?

There's almost zero coverage here on basic cable. There are dedicated soccer channels but those are parts of sports packages that you have to pay extra for. So basically any coverage beyond like one game a week I'd have to stream or catch online.

Apologies, numbers muddle my brain!

If you get NBC Sports channel, it's great. They have every Premiere League match either on the channel or online streaming. NBC (basic cable) has the 12:30 ET match every Saturday. I love NBC for this.

If it does, then I would recommend trying to catch that when you can. That is basically all you need for you football highlight needs.

[SlightlyJames]

Wait is that bonus game next week?

[prophet]

Probably going to wind up being the worst week of the season for me

[AkydefGoldberg]

Wait is that bonus game next week?

Fucking hell! Arggh!

Well, you all get a point. Stick with me as an organiser of this, never know when you'll get a free point.
