This doesn't include whatever picks Setanta and FSC will make for the 10AM ET Saturday (3PM GMT) matches, so it's possible they'll be on several times before then. These are only the ones that can be confirmed from the UK tv schedule that was announced.
Means I won't have to miss a Chelsea match either on FSC, Setanta or Setanta Xtra which I have at my place.
Happy to see Man U Chelsea moved a Sunday. That game should have terrific ratings!
Setanta confirmed on its website that its time slots for this year will be the same as last year. So, odds are the same is true for FSC.

Fox Soccer Channel won't announce their Premier League TV schedule for several more weeks yet, but here's a sneak peek of some of the games that we know that they (and Setanta Sports) will show.
They'll be announcing which 10am ET games they'll be showing in the near future.

What's interesting is how clubs like Newcastle and Spurs get millions more that teams like Blackburn and Portsmouth, just because they are shown on TV more often.
What made the NFL is equal TV money across the board. Thats why Tampa can win one year New England the next and the Giants after that. NFL owners in the Prem know the drill! A change maybe coming.
Thank God for p2p programs so I can get my Red Devil fix on the weekends they aren't airing on FSC........................
Not necessarily. Looking through the schedule, there were six matches for Manchester United that were not chosen for TV in the UK through the 15 rounds. One has been postponed to an unannounced date due to the UEFA Super Cup.
The remaining five after that are:
Sep. 27 v Bolton
Oct. 25 at Everton (which has been moved to Noon GMT)
Oct. 29 v West Ham
Nov. 1 v Hull City
Nov. 15 v Stoke City
The Bolton match is probably a given, but the Everton match would either require tape delay or giving up the normal 12:45 GMT start. The West Ham date (which is midweek) also has Arsenal/Tottenham at the same time, so it falls under your exception. So we are left with the two home matches against promoted sides. I don't know how thrilled Setanta would be with what appears to be two blowouts. That won't stop them from doing so, but if there's a closer option with a big 4 side, they might go for that instead.
As far as Setanta love or hate goes... I understand not liking it or not paying for it. But when you consider that, just two years ago, the other possibility after FSC was a $20 per match pay-per-view, you'll understand why I'd rather have Setanta.
What's going on!
There will be more Fulham games scheduled in the next couple of weeks. Neither FSC or Setanta have announced their respective 10am live games as well as the other 2 games that air at 10am one of which is live on Setanta Sports Extra and the other that airs on few hour DB usually after the Italian League Game. Most weeks we get 7 to 9 of the Prem Games here in the States so I wouldn't sweat it because Fulham will be definitley be featured more................................

As for getting Setanta, I had it on broadband last year (to supplement my basic cable) for $15/mo, and it worked alright. Costs about as much as going to the pub and having a few pints and some food for the game.
