Matchday 5 - FC Porto vs. Chelsea
Matchday 6 - Olympiacos vs. Arsenal

Some of the Man Utd games, on paper, don't look as strong as the two Chelsea games above.

Let's see if I was right....

Wed 30 Sept - Man Utd v Wolfsburg
Wed 21 Oct - Chelsea v Athletico Madrid

Yay - seemingly right for Matchdays 1, 2 and 3.

Seemingly can't quote posts from "Part 4" but ITV's live game on Matchday 4 is Lyon v Liverpool.

Welcome to part 5 everyone!!

Ray Stubbs is hosting Chelsea v Burnley live on ESPN, alongside King Kev and Frank Lebouef.

Ray Stubbs presenting coverage of Chelsea vs Burnley with Gianluca Vialli and Kevin Keegan on ESPN.

EDIT: Jeez, I need my eyes checking - it's Frank LeBeouf, not Vialli.

The endlessly enthusiastic John Motson on duty for MOTD at Tottenham/Birmingham

God bless this man

BobbyG2008 · 29-08-2009, 11:16

Thanks for the congrats Casinoman, almost fell off the sofa last night when heard Ian Payne hand over to the commentators.
All that money I've paid to these commentators and co-commentators to tell me what games they are doing has finally paid off.........................(JOKE)
Can someone PM me the list of commentators for FF? I think I know who the surprise is but would like to see.
As for my success, I get the feeling a Newcastle moment is coming on lol

Chelsea - Burnley International feed

Steve Baynard and Nigel Winterburn.

bwfcol · 29-08-2009, 11:48

Jon and Joe on ESPN

Jay K · 29-08-2009, 11:52

Surprisingly, ESPN2 in America went live to Stamford Bridge before the game started while the studio pundits were still talking and I could hear Jon Champion introducing the game. However they are now using TWI commentators and graphics as well!

Jay K · 29-08-2009, 11:54

They have now changed to their own graphics (same as ESPN UK) but still using TWI commentators

nick 1709 · 29-08-2009, 11:55

can someone messege me the suprise commentators please?

hoping its not what i think!

Jay K · 29-08-2009, 11:58

They have announced that they are having problems (which I didn't see any at all) with the world feed and they have joined ESPN UK commentators!!

Jay K · 29-08-2009, 12:10

Jon Champion at his very best

LOSG · 29-08-2009, 12:11

I'm not sure how it works these days but I believe it will be there due to Sky being the producer for ESPN games (bilateral relationship mighty be there to allow Sky to show ESPN games on FF)

The 5.30 games havent been. I think its a rights issue, nothing to do with any friendship. I just wasnt aware if it was for all ESPN games or just the 5.30 kickoffs.

Its all their games that Sky are producing. That way it is helping them reducing their production cost

Dickie Davis is doing the reporting from Stanford Bridge for Soccer Saturday. So we might see smudger in the studio at Old Trafford later.

Yes thank you i am aware, but this has no bearing on whether the game is available on Football First.

Thanks. So clearly the delayed rights dont count for any of ESPN's games.
