No surprise entrants this time round then, but I expected that. I imagine for the foreseeable future with these rights the story will be Sky v BT.

Even more ridiculous than last time then for not that much more football. I still struggle to see how they balance the books.

BT losing 6 first picks by the looks of it. Sky Definitely the winners content wise but still waiting for that bubble to burst.

Sorta disappointed that the neatness of having the weekend go BT / SKY / SKY / SKY / SKY has been removed. Also that you have to wait until 7:15pm to get Michael Owen's idea of commentary over with. Having said that, being later in the day, more beverage will have been consumed, so maybe it will become a wee bit more tolerable.

Cue SKY bigging up their FL72 coverage as Saturday Night Football again...
