I'm rather hoping BT will do things a bit better. Nothing more ludicrous than a table full of 'experts' sitting on a table at the corner of the pitch in the pissing rain, or with the sprinklers turning on them. That girl was OK that led the teams out but the rest of them are a shower of shite.

I'm also hoping they have a rival to SSN that doesn't act as a publicity vehicle for the RAGs all day every day.

Can't get much worse than ESPN but if BT do not sell to Virgin Media I will not be happy, all major channels should be available across all platforms and not exclusive to an individual set top box. When satellite first launched you needed a round dish on front of house for some channels a square one on the back for others and cable for decent broadband, we can't go back to those days...

I might just wander over from the Englischgarten, if the tussies aren't sunbathing in the expected 32 degree celcius.

Aguero pulled out of the Argie squad for the Italy game. Looks like he's crocked which is worrying - when did he do it, he's hardly played or trained?
