Setanta Delayed (I'm not sure what the C stands for, communication, channel?) but it simply means that the match is not a live Setanta broadcast.

And of course Set Xtra means channel 670 on DirecTV. It's not available on Cable or Dish, just ITVN, Broadband and DirecTV.
interesting, never saw it called that before. of course setanta will spoil all three during the man u match :roll:

my goal for saturday is not to throw up in my mouth. could be the first time for a league game in 2008

When I get the info off of Setanta's site, I usually change it to (Set Del). I just got lazy this week.

unsuccessful attempt
I'm just wondering what the time added on to allow arse'nil to score limit is? 10? 15 minutes? What do you think?
i didnt think it was that bad

villa lived so dangerously on those corners and crosses all day. how many balls did randy moss head over the crossbar?
It was 3 minutes and they scored at 92:23. And there was a yellow issued to a Villa player for time wasting during stoppage time as well.

Actually, my DVR says this match will be on ESPN Classic at 5:00. ESPN's web page didn't list the match, but I trust my DVR.

Tuesday, March 4

5:00 Barcelona vs. Celtic (ESPN Classic)
…and marching on to the quarters!!!!!
What a performance by Arsenal, and especially by Cesc Fabregas. Such a young team and so much better than Manchester United, Fenerbache, or Barcelona, the other three teams that qualified to the last eight last night.

Arsenal were by far the best team last night, and that's not easy for me to say. They made AC Milan look old. But that was only one night. I recall a night last year where United were practiaclly handed the trophy after shredding Roma and we all know how that turned out.

The Fenerbahce match was very exciting as well, however, that was the one match I didn't extend my DVR (despite my own warnings) so I didn't see the PKs. Nonetheless, in regulation time, I was very entertained.

And, lest I forget, Barca's first goal was the goal of the tournament thus far.
