    After what seemed like an endless run of Fulham TV games until New Years, we are on a serious dry spell and making me a grumpy boy :x Even the old standby of Setanta Xtra on Direct has turned in to the Spurs channel the last few weeks. Sure we had Pompey and Kettering on delay but there hasn't been a "live" Fulham opportunity since Chelsea it seems like.

    With the Cup Tie with Swansea on ITV I assume it will be available live on one of the 3 channels. Then its decision time... Skip out of work early for Man U or not?

    Looks like no coverage at all of the match against Wigan, not even on delay.

    Setanta's website says there will be live coverage of the Cup match at Swansea on 2/14 at 7:30 am EST on Setanta (the main channel, not Xtra).

    The FFC website doesn't list a provider for live coverage of the makeup match at Old Trafford; neither Setanta nor FSC publicize their schedules this far in advance but presumably there will be coverage of that match somewhere, though a weekday afternoon is of course a pain in the butt.

    FFC website says live coverage of the Sunday 2/22 match against West Brom on Sky at 8:30am EST, then presumably the 2/28 match against Arsenal will have some coverage too.

    So while January has been sparse, February should be better. And if the lads come away from Swansea with a win (or even a replay) then you would think the next cup match will be televised as well.

    I am getting old and the memory is definitely going, but I swear we had a similar lull in match availability last year in Jan-Feb. Then, while we we were toiling at the bottom of the table it seemed like almost every match was available. I do wonder if that had a lot to do with the number of Yanks getting significant playing time last spring.

    Yes, because God forbid the North American stations broadcast two top 10 teams instead of showing their 357th Newcastle match of the season.
