Look forward to sampling a few of these over the next few weeks.....this job does have perks! ...

By DanNo Comments
Sky Sports and BT Sport have announced their live matches for the new season of Premier League football. BT are a newcomer to the live broadcasting of Premier League football and their new deal will see them cover 38 matches per season for each of the next three seasons.  Sky will cover 116, meaning that there will be more football than ever on TV and more football on at the pub! Whilst Sky continue to impress with their comprehensive line-up, BT naturally offer an avenue for pubs and bars to venture into showing some live football at a cheaper rate. All of BT's live matches will kick-off at 12.45pm on Saturday's whereas Sky will takeover the slot that was previously held by ESPN at 5.30pm on Saturday's as well as their familiar 1.30pm and 4pm kick-offs on Sunday.  Sky will also show Monday night football with matches kicking off at 8pm.

Countdown to the World Cup begins now!

By DanNo Comments
The 2014 football world cup will kick off in exactly one year from today. The 20th edition of the tournament will kick off on Thursday 12th June in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Of the 19 previous championships, Brazil have been triumphant more than any other nation with five wins in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002 and they are the only nation to have featured in every world cup so it is perhaps fitting that A Seleção will host this landmark occasion. The World Cup is the most widely viewed sporting event. An estimated 751.1 million watched the 2006 final between Italy and France. That's a ninth of the entire global population. Even the draw was seen by approximately 300 million people! In a footballing hotbed like the UK, football fever takes over for the duration of the event with the nation coming to standstill as the festival of football ensues. With up to four matches a day, it's a sport fans paradise and with the...
