Looks like the European Commission are going to take legal action against the Premier League over the lack of competition in televising games. More power to them.
When my six year old excitedly told me Arsenal were playing yesterday and asked if we could watch it "on our television" (we don't have BskyB), he was a bit put out to hear we wouldn't be able to see the match.
"Aaawww. It's not right Dad. I'm very annoyed. They shouldn't do it like that. They're naughty. They should make it so that we can watch it on our television too."
I could only respond to his determined little frown by telling him he was absolutely right.
Mind you, when we sat down to watch Match of the Day (recorded from Saturday evening for Sunday morning viewing) he was less than impressed with the quality of the football served up on the opening day of the new season. At least the earlier frown was replaced by his sparkling grin when he discovered later in the day that the Gunners had secured a comforable two-nil win against Newcastle.
