Just a quick couple of questions; are English football games broadcast live in Saudi Arabia and also are there any restrictions or problems listening to BBC radio via the internet? Thanks.

EPL/ECL games are shown live over here.

Some games are on regular, free to view satellite channels. Others are available on subscription only channels afaik, but you can usually find a caf� that shows the bigger games.

BBC radio works fine over the internet, but they don't broadcast live EPL games outside of the UK due to licencing issues.

I haven't had any problems keeping right up to date with Arsenal's utter shambles of a start to the season so far...

Thanks Commenter. I think this will be Wenger's last season. The game has moved on and, as admirable as it is to try and win things with a blend, it really all is about big, big bucks now. With that stadium of yours, and the money it must create (despite repayments) you really don't have an excuse not to splash the cash. Think yourself lucky I'm an Evertonian, we haven't a pot to piss in.

You could be right, BST.

His clear refusal to meet the asking price for players has turned the squad into a bit of a joke.

I've no idea why he talks about money not being the issue, but we all know that Everton turned down a bid for Jagielka, so that's clearly not the case.

As they say... He's made his bed...

The Abu Dhabi Media Company bought the rights to show all the EPL games through to 2013.
Pricing details are included in this "Arabian Business" magazine article...

And, this website provides the global scheduling information for EPL games, amongst other soccer matches....

It was an important win for Arsenal last night against Udinese.
After Nasri�s departure earlier in the day, Wenger must have been relieved when Van Persie scored.
