Portsmouth is vorige week al overgenomen, mits die figuur de persoonstest doorstaat. Die zullen het dus niet zijn denk ik.

West Ham is ook al overgenomen toch? Fulham of Liverpool dan? Everton zal het niet zijn.

ESPN has bought the rights to show 46 games in next season's English Premier League that were to have been shown by struggling broadcaster Setanta.

Disney-owned ESPN has won the two packages of games shown on Saturday teatimes and Monday evenings. It says both will be sold through BSkyB.

It has also won the 23 games per season Setanta was due to show from 2010-13.

The league took the broadcasting rights back from Setanta on Friday after it missed a payment deadline.

The Premier League had set a deadline of Monday for other broadcasters to submit offers for the games.

ESPN said in a statement it had "reached an agreement for its coverage to be retailed by Sky to residential and commercial customers".

'British commitment'

It is the first time that ESPN will broadcast live Premier League football in the UK.

The broadcaster already has two channels in the UK, one covering American sports and another showing archived action.

Russell Wolff, managing director of ESPN International, said: "This move demonstrates our commitment to British sports fans and our ongoing commitment to delivering football to fans around the world across a variety of media."

"ESPN have a formidable worldwide reputation and experience in sports and I am sure we will enjoy a long and fruitful relationship with them," said Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore.

"I would like to thank ESPN, as well as all the other broadcasters who submitted bids, for their professionalism and effort in engaging in our sales process at such short notice."

ESPN is gewoon via de schotel te ontvangen. Moet je natuurlijk wel een abbo voor hebben wil je beeld krijgen.

Arsenal loathe Chelsea just as much as Spurs, West Ham don't hate Millwall and Blues have become the new Man United...

Tottenham's long-suffering fans haven't had much to shout about in recent seasons.

Since the Premier League's inception in 1992, the club have never finished higher than fifth and have added just two League Cups to their dust-gathering trophy cabinet.

It might be a little harsh to suggest they're an irrelevance, but they certainly have been when it comes to challenging for major honours in the Premier League era.

And now north London rivals Arsenal have rubbed salt in the wound by naming Chelsea - alongside Spurs - as the club they dislike the most.

In a survey of the capital's supporters conducted by Football Fans Census, Chelsea topped the list as the team London fans love to hate, but followers of Tottenham will be dismayed to learn that they are no longer considered Arsenal's main rivals anymore.

Despite Arsenal's growing indifference to their north London neighbours, West Ham fans voted for the boys from White Hart Lane as the team they dislike most with more than double the votes of second-placed Chelsea.

That particular rivalry appears to be one-way however, with Tottenham naming Chelsea and Manchester United as the teams they dislike most - after the Gunners.

But although a section of Arsenal's support now no longer consider the traditional rivalry with Spurs relevant, their own fading fortunes have ensured they're no longer regarded by Chelsea as a main rival.

Fans of the west London club have now turned their attention to the big boys of English football, Liverpool and Manchester United - with Tottenham given an honourable mention in third-place.

West Ham's grudge against Sheffield United (for their opposition to the dodgy Carlos Tevez deal) shows no signing of going away with the Yorkshire club appearing third on their list, ahead of traditional rivals Millwall.
