TV Coverage Update for Christmas
Gooners can look forward to an excellent Christmas and New Year of TV viewing with almost complete coverage of our games up to the end of February.
SoccerTV.com's daily update confirmed that the following games will be televised in the US (and thus will be shown in Nevadas):
Sun Dec 19th, 2004 @11am: Portsmouth City v Arsenal (Setanta, $10)
Sun Dec 26th, 2004 @ ???: Arsenal v Fulham (on FOX, tape-delayed, FREE)
Wed Dec 29th, 2004 @ 3pm: Newcastle United v Arsenal (FOX, FREE)
Sat Jan 1st, 2005 @10am: Charlton Athletic v Arsenal (Setanta, $10)
Sat Jan 15th, 2005 @ 12.15pm: Bolton Wanderers v Arsenal (FOX, FREE)
Sun Jan 23rd, 2005 @ 11am: Arsenal v Newcastle United (Setanta, $10)
Tue Feb 1st, 2005 @ 2.30pm: Arsenal v Manchester United (FOX, FREE)
Sat Feb 5th, 2005 @ 12.15pm: Aston Villa v Arsenal (FOX, FREE)
Mon Feb 14th, 2005 @ 3pm: Arsenal v Crystal Palace (FOX, FREE)
Sat Feb 26th, 2005 @ 7.45am: Southampton v Arsenal (FOX, FREE)
This means that the only game we'll miss will be the Arsenal v Citeh thriller on Tuesday January 4th (when FOX have, for some inexplicable reason, chosen to go with the dull fare expected to be served up when The Scum visit The Theatre of Screams for their regular yearly thrashing...), while only one of the games in the next three months is tape-delayed (Fulham's Boxing Day visit to THOF).
It's also likely that our FA Challenge Cup Third Round game at home to The Potters will be televised after being moved to Sunday January 9th at 9am EST (2pm GMT) to avoid both The Arsenal and The Scum playing at home on the same day - obviously to protect the Tott'numb fans from being ridiculed by large crowds of Gooners... (as opposed to individual ridicule, which is a day-to-day happening).
