Gaffer:

Great to have you back. Stay well.

While I was invloved in the chat on Saturday, while the FSC could be better, they are making an effort and responding to viewers desires as expressed on this blog and other places on the net. Good for FSC.

Also, from your interviews I believe they think that you and this site reflect FSC's viewers opinoins. Well done Gaffer.

There Sunday wrap up show is better than lats years version too. Its hardly a decision for me Saturday, the last 15-20 mins of a match or fsc droll? hehe

Im not sold on Miles. Hes a walking cliche factory and frequently misapplies. I was hoping one of the gooners on the sunday set would have taken one of those bass ale bottles upside his....

I'm just happy for the free Setanta preview on Direct TV.

Not sure if they'll extend it past the first week, but I enjoyed having both available this past weekend.

They may have convinced me to hop off the wallet and add Setanta, though I'll probably wait to add it until I'm missing out on an important game.

Too bad that Setanta is offered a la carte- I wonder why Fox didn't keep all of the games and simply extend the coverage onto one of their 20 other sports channels!

Interesting Gaffer but I am slightly disappointed in the show. I thought it looked very professional - Andy and Christian were dressed up like GQ fellas and the presentation was stylish.
But I thought it was very bland.

It felt like watching Sky Sports News but with not enough highlights. Too much focussing on them and they had little of real interest to say and had no banter. Bit dull. I just got around listening to your podcast with Rodney Marsh and his comments about today's pundits being bland was spot on based on that show.

In that first half hour (and correct me if i am wrong) - they managed to get in some Beckham news. Why? He doesnt play for Man City or West Ham. He wasnt set to play Saturday at all and as it happened he didnt play Sunday. Keep that half hour (or 15 mins as you suggest) to the coming match at hand or the EPL. Focuse on MLS later in the afternoon.
