Setanta does tend to be a common theme for threads nowadays, after taking over a lot of great football, but this is taking it to a new extreme.

If Homer is correct, the FA Cup semi between Arsenal and Chelsea on Saturday, is on Setanta, and not on normal TV or Sky...

They've crossed the line this time, big time.

Gone are the days when you could enjoy two semi-finals in one weekend, one at Old Trafford and the other at Villa Park. Nope, Setanta have intervened and one of the biggest games this season is not being aired on a conventional channel. I am fucking livid.

I might be forced to ditch MUTV but pay another 5 quid a month to have Setanta. It seems like the only solution to me, but the fact is, I shouldn't have to.

I've seen Setanta Sports on streams and they have nutjobs like Steve Claridge and Lou Macari commentating and presenting...watching a game with clown coverage takes more of an edge off it.

Why can't they hire commentators in the same mould as Andy Gray/Tyler/Alan Smith, Clive Tydsley etc.?

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

Apart from them who would you suggest? It's not as easy as it looks but Setanta aren't doing themselves any good hiring clowns...

Setanta should do their own version of Fanzone cos that would easily be better than watching the muppets they pay.

I might be forced to get it now...maybe I'll just get it for next season I don't know.

You cannot beat Tyler/Gray though.

Actually I might get it now then, I didn't realise they offered sitcoms as well as football coverage.

I've started trying to sell computers to Setanta's main US office. If i get in there i'll have a word about the standard of their commentators and the production.

I watch every United game in the season, on a stream and/or on football first...

I'm just praying I can get a decent stream for the game Saturday. Will VEETLE show it?
