Do You Hate Setanta?

England's The Spoiler is asking readers if they hate Setanta or not becuase of the unavailability of watching England World Cup Qualifiers. As a Setanta subscriber here in the U.S. I too was amazed at the games being shown this weekend on Setanta. Armenia vs Turkey was a real barn burner. Followed by another highly touted game in Denmark and Hungary's thrilling 0-0 draw.

If you wanted to watch England vs. Andorra, it was on a pay-per-view for around $20. Not a chance I was going to pay further to watch England play such a minnow of an opponent. Pretty much as an American and footie fan, Setanta is only good for Barclays Premiership matches and nothing further. I can't cram into pubs at 6am anymore any pay $20 at the door to stand shoulder to shoulder with Chelsea fans. The couch is much more pleasing.

Anyway, if you'd like to chime in on The Spoiler's poll, you can go here and give your two cents.
