Sheffield Wednesday is my team.

They are going through a rough patch at the moment.

It seems they've forgotten how to play football.

I didn't notice this reply earlier..

Dowding man, we are talking about the Premiership in this post...not some ponsey 1st Division team.

Curval - Hey, were Premiership a couple of years ago! Our ground is one of the best in the country.

We've just got the worst board of directors in the history of the universe.

Nifty - thanks for the info. Women's footie is pretty amateur over here (in fact 99% amateur), but growing. There's this flim out at the moment called 'Bend it Like Beckham' about women's football, and these two girls ambition is to make it to America to a soccer school. I just wondered how much actual coverage it got.

80,000 to watch a women's game is extraordinary! Even if it was an international.

Do you watch all your football through Murdoch's Fox network thing? How many games do they air?

Did anybody watch the Woman's FA cup final today?? Fulham won 2-1 if u wern't watching and I have to say those lasses played pretty damn well, and could probably give some guys teams a run for their money

. Oh yeah and Dowding, you can start having a go at our poncy southern teams when Wednesday take their fingers outta their arses

All Premiership matches are now on FoxSportsWorld or through pay-per-view. The FA Cup final for example was PPV only, I think $15, but maybe $20. Espn used to carry games, but now they only carry Champion's League matches. We get a couple of matches a week.

Here is this week's full FSW schedule.

as you see on Saturday we get the FA Cup a week late for free. This week we're getting the Wed match between Man U and Arsenal and one of the Saturday matches (my guess would be Arsenal and Everton.) Some games we get live, some we get on replay. Usually the English games are replays except for the occasional Monday match. If we're lucky we can get up to 4 games in a week. Then we get 1 or 2 German and 1 or 2 Dutch games on a weekend too (but both those leagues are finished now.) They'll also have some Argentine League games as well, usually 1 per week. We also get some tourney games. UEFA final this week, Coppa Italia final and the Nationwide Final between Birmingham and Norwich (edit: had Millwall, but that's who Birmingham beat in the semis). All three of those are live, which is rare for us Yanks!

Fun stuff like rugby and Aussie Rules Football too.

Actually, FoxSportsWorld is the whole reason I upgraded to digital cable from regular cable. That and I get the Major League Soccer PPV package so I can see all the games instead of the one game on ESPN2. Only $49 for the whole season.
