Im planning to head to South Korea for a year very soon and there is one thing i need to know, can i watch English premiership matches there? When i was in China I missed half the season cause they only ever showed German and Italian football. Is Sky television available and at what price? Please help Im an Arsenal fan i have a very, very good feeling we are gonna do something I wont want to miss next season!

Yes you can watch the games on cable, on a channel called Star Sports. I don't know how much it will cost. I watch the games on ESPN but they are not as regular as Star Sports. By the way 'cas of the time difference they are on 1 or 2 in the morning. That's ok if it's a Saturday but if it's a Sunday and you are teaching in the morning then it can be a pain. The Champions League is very late in the morning.

As for Arsenal doing something!! Haha.

There is a Premiership forum where we predicte the scores here..

It's good fun and it's free!!!

A couple more signings and we will be back where we belong! No other team in Europe has as much quality coming through the ranks as we do at the moment, add to that some quality experience players and you have the right combination me thinks!!

[livinginkorea]

You are talking to the European Champions here! Just as long as Man Utd. don't win it.

Come on the pool!!!

Your lucky I dont hate Liverpool as much as I used to, Chelsea have taken over that mantle (Man Utd obviously no 1). That champions league final was amazing much more entertaining that our FA cup final, although we won so I was pretty happy!

Yeah i was nervous too, I really cant believe you lot came back I have never nearly lost my voice for another team but that was immense! We were rubbish but we had no Henry which changed our game plan. There are rumours about bids for Robinho and Baptista which would be nice and we have just signed this bloke Hleb who is a Bergkamp type player! Cant wait for this coming season, without world cup or a Euro championships it just feels like forever!

Now that Park Ji-sung is a member of ManU, I'm sure either SBS or KBS or KBS Sky Sports will start to televise matches more often.

Liverpool vs TNS in Wrexham doesnt really make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up to be fair! Where abouts are you based in Korea, have you adopted yourself a team over there? I thinking of going to Pusan, but im not sure, are you enjoying Korea is it as bad as everyone makes out or are a lot of people just whinging over nothing! I have been to China for 4 months teaching and that was boring as I was in a town of 200,000 in the middle of nowhere but that was easy, surely Korea cant be as bad as that?

[Ronaldclaw]

Maybe we should sign a Korean then cause I dont think i could handle perpetual Manure games!

Also I forgot to say that they have a street called after Park Ji-Sung here in Suwon!! I don't think that they have any Roy Keane or Damien Duff street back home!!

[Ronaldclaw]

So whats Suwon like I really have to make up my mind soon and I want to avoid Soeul! Are you from England, was it hard to find a job with your accent? Sorry left the origanal thread by some distance now! One thing which will be annoying is the World Cup, the last one i was in Europe and it was in Asia now visa versa! I dont mind staying up late though to watch Arsenal!

[Ronaldclaw]

So your from Ireland then, me too. Where abouts Im from Arklow in Wicklow. Live in london now though! I heard about that Park street thing, they should have a Kilbane street just for comedy value, crossing it would be impossible though!!
