I never had any idea why the European Commission forced the Premier League to split its matches between two broadcasters – something to do with consumer choice, which has been a complete farce it left many football fans having to fork out another thirteen pounds a month to Setanta, which I duly did. I won’t go into the reasons why I no longer subscribe other than to say when I signed up the deal was supposedly a monthly contract; however you try cancelling a Setanta contract, almost impossible. So I’m very happy that Sky has won five out of six of the available packages leaving Setanta with just 23 Saturday evening matches. Source: The Guardian.
