I was in Madrid when Madrid was playing Barcelona and the cheapest tickets I could find were around 500 dollars.  I don't know if this is typical for Spanish soccer or just because it was Madrid/Barcelona but it was too rich for my blood.

Ok so how do I know when the Manchester City games are going to be televised? The first game appeared to be shown live but I couldn't find the one that was this last Sunday.

Agreed.

A couple of times I thought the sound had gone out during the Untied-Chelsea snoozer, but no, it was just the announcer letting me enjoy the game in peace.  It was absolutely the best thing of that match.

I have had a couple of tablet viewing issues with the app, but the desktop viewing has been fine.

Have you tried that yet?  I think some of my viewing problems have been by virtue of trying to log in under one name on multiple devices.

I have photos of me in Lederhosen as a child.  Then we moved to the US and I wore them to school.  I still blame my mom for the horrible event.
