Fox Soccer + is showing only 2 Live EPL matches this weekend.
Where as Fox Soccer Tv will have 5 Live games this weekend and every Match from the weekend will be on Demand. And then you can watch all Champions League Matches too … I think it is worth the 14.95 a month.

@Chary, "Good Old Arsenal" is widely panned by the folks I have spoken to and on the It's Up For Grabs Now podcast. Also, it's sung to the tune of Rule Britannia when it would be more apropos for Arsenal to have a song sung to the tune of La Marseillaise

Chris, I recall that there was some liaison with Arsenal fan groups, Red Action, AISA(Arsenal Independent Supporters Association) and some others)regarding the choice of 3, but the final choice offered did come as a surprise. Like I said, I’m pretty sure “Good old Arsenal” would have been the overwhelming favourite based on my gut feeling and the other gooners I spoke to.

what i ment to say was arsenal fans put a song forward in the first poll (any song they like) then after say a week of putting songs forward they count them up and take the top three songs and then vote over the the three.
might not be the best idea i just think it give the fans more choice. because i would like to know how they got the three songs to choose from (1. The theme from the “A” Team 2. The Wonder of you 3. Good old Arsenal) any idea
Chary?

PS – I have a few recordings of the wonder of you pre match(Birmingham & FC Twente) on my You tube account if anyone’s interested – just search for user name “Charybdis1966”. I’ve got some stuff of the first look at the Verminator in the Barnet friendly in July last year.

Hi Guys, someone mentioned earlier on why there wasn’t a poll amongst Arsenal supporters for their choice from 3 anthem candidates. In the 2005-06 season there was a poll with the 3 options below: 1. The theme from the “A” Team 2. The Wonder of you 3. Good old Arsenal.
Now, as you may guess form my avatar, chose the theme from the “A” team but the consensus was Good old Arsenal was the popular choice so I don’t know how the Elvis got chosen. I have to say I’m not unhappy with Elvis, when it was played before our ill-fated Champions League S/F it was spine tingling. On balance I’m happy with The Wonder of you – it’ll take time to grow on us though. If we want to be pumped up before the game I’d play “Ride the lightning” by Metallica just after the Elvis.
