    UPC have put ESPN on as part of their higher packages.
    It's no longer a subscription service with them.

    It is part of your television package. It is not free.

    Espn has been available on the basic package for at least 2 weeks.

    They've had premiership football for the past two weeks... United v Brimingham and City v Rovers.

    They also had Milan v Juve last week and are showing the Milan Derby.

    It's hardly their fault its an F.A cup weekend.

    but the cycnical among us wonder why they choose a premier-free weekend to allow it free!!

    I think they would be better off doing this on a premier weekend when people might see the benefit of signing up

    Smartarses...;-)

    I mean in fairness now.

    I know the Bundesliga is apparently not up to the standard of your beloved best league of the world /sarcasm but how for instance

    Sat 23 Jan 10 17:30 Borussia Dortmund v Hamburger SV
    Sun 24 Jan 10 16:30 TSG Hoffenheim v Bayer Leverkusen

    are going to be worse matches than for instance last weeks encounter of Stoke v. Liverpool is beyond me. ManU v. Burnley didn't exactly blow me away either...

    Inter beat them 4-0 last time round. However AC are 6 points off with a game in hand. Must win for AC.

    Inter drew last 2, while Milan went to Juve and hammered them. And then beat Siena 4-0.

    Should be interesting. Inter win, another Serie A title. Milan win, a good race :)

    Wouldn't say it's that black and white. A draw wouldn't be the end of the world for Milan.

    Last Serie A game I watched was Juve v Milan the week before last. I watched a couple of Coppa Italia games last week including a good comeback by Fiorentina. I am aware that Milan have upped there game over recent months in fact I wrote something about it in the United thread only a couple of days ago. My reasoning is simple really - When did AC last defeat Inter ?

    Two of the biggest derby games in world football for free. Cant possibly see what anybody has to complain about. In fact a premiership free weekend is a plus for me.
