| what channel has English commentary? Star sports is always a day late on the games. Usually if I want English commentary I just stream the matches. |
Have you ever actually sat down and put Star Sports on at the 3pm kick off on a Saturday?? They have been showing live games for 10 years now. |

I think you add 8 hours to the kick off time in England. Roughly, you'll be able to see about 6 (give or take a couple games depending on who is playing and time) or so games. Man Utd games are almost always live because JiSung Park. Most of the top teams will be either live or delay. Whats your club? Any club with a Korean player gets seen (Man Utd, Arsenal, Celtic, Bolton?).
Have someone order a cable package that includes SBS Espn for the EPL games and MBC Sports for the Champions League games. The CL games come on live at 4:45AM midweek.
The main issue you will have is that the EPL games will start Saturday night and you have to make a decision to party at the bars or watch games. Some bars will show the game if you ask them if they don't have it on already. Also, the EPL games and the CL games get replayed a few times as well. There is also a highlight show.
A korean will have to help you with the schedule from the net. Its in Korean.
Who's your club? |
Clocks moved, dude. |

Which one? There are many "Uniteds"
My bias kicking in, hate when Man utd fans refer to them as such...lol.
Anyway, you have nothing to worry about and the game will be replayed ad nauseum as well, so if you have something to do when its played live, don't worry, Sunday or Monday morning (depending on whether its a Saturday or Sunday game), will be shown the next day in its entirety and probably the whole week several times. |
I especially hate when Man U. fans or commentators describe Man u. as 'The Reds'. They are not 'The Reds'. Liverpool are 'The Reds'. Man U are 'The Red Devils'. |
Haha, in fairness my mate from Hull refers to his team as "City" despite there being loads of teams called city, I don't think it's specific to (Man) United. I do agree that we're the Red Devils though, Liver are the Reds to me.

Yeah, I filled my team with Newcastle defenders, they've been on fire this season. Swansea too, 1 goal all season at home? They've both got difficult fixtures coming up though, I switched to Stoke defenders last week thinking their fixtures were much better, what happened? Stoke got beat 5 - 0 and Swansea drew 0 - 0 at Liverpool? Goddamnit  |

Fans whose clubs have a 'united' or 'city' refer to themselves as such in their own city. That's fine. Sounds a bit odd living in Newcastle and saying the whole name.
My beef with Man United supporters is that they could be anywhere, London, Seoul, Mars and they still say 'United'. It has a touch of arrogance about it and it comes ith the territory I guess supporting a club with its history.
As for english commentary, sometimes its a good thing NOT having it. Sometimes they are so biased. For example, I hate hearing Jamie Rednapp but then again I'm an Arsenal supporter.
EPL football access was a deal breaker for me coming here. Not sure how I'd survive without being able to watch week in, week out during the season, although I'm usually emotionally drained by May and looking forward to the summer by then.
Anyway, all of us who are football fans are pretty lucky here in Korea. |
