Whoa!
OK, so you probably don't follow English Premier League football on FSC as closely as i do. (And if you do, your team isn't stuck at the bottom of the table like mine is, most likely.)
But Jose Maurinho abruptly quit as Chelsea's manager early this morning after 3 years, with 3 more years to run on his contract. Maurinho won the EPL with Chelsea his first two years in charge, Chelsea's first in 50 years.
So, for a large chunk of the sporting world outside of the US, this is a huge shock. For a Tar Heel comparison, imagine if Roy Williams announced three games into the season that he was going back to Kansas.
Yeah, that big. The Guardian has about 8 stories on it this morning.

How much does FSC cost, Barry?

beats me. i let soon-to-be Mrs. Dependable handle the bill paying.
i'm pretty sure we have a Roadrunner/digital cable package, and FSC showed up after we installed that, so you could probably go to Time Warner and see what that costs.
Setanta, which picked up a good size chunk of EPL games, is not on TW at this time to my knowledge. FSC is, i think, mostly carrying Sky Sports games.
Bull McCabe's and James Joyce often have English footie on the tube if you need a place to watch.

The digital cable plus high-speed internet costs a tad over $90/month, if I recall.
