No man, i enjoyed watching it even more when it was on ART, Showtime's coverage is poor and their commentators, anchors and pundits even poorer.

You gotta love the Widescreen tech!
I'd kill Ayman Jadda to have in Al-Jazeera, as for the coverage I think that Aly Al Zain is great and much better than many of the folks around the arabian sport channels these days. And the commentators well I gotta admit when Rauof left there was a big hole but Fahid Al 3taibi is good as well, and then there's Al-'3ool and another great egyption commentator that I dunno his name. You know the one who was screaming when Figuiroua scored that long distance goal against Stoke, that was magic :D

Man Zain is average.

Khalid El-Ghol is a terrible commentator, makes you want to sleep. Fahd Al-3taibi is the only decent commentator in Showtime.

Ya, i'm expecting them to be really exciting. For me, there is no league as enjoyable as the EPL.
Liverpool-Man Utd
Arsenal-Chelsea
Fulham-Chelsea and craven cottage.

I can't think of any other enjoyable matches, even you have to admit that Arsenal beating some lower table makeweight 4-0 without breaking a sweat has gotten fucking tedious.

You can always switch to the english anytime, and that wasn't available on ART :D

Of course that won't be enjoyable for a neutral. But most EPL games have been rather tight this season. United, Chelsea and Arsenal have all found it hard to break teams down this season.

This week, the Arsenal - Villa , Birmingham - Chelsea, Fulham - Spuds, Spuds - West Ham, and Villa - Liverpool all promise to be competitive and tight games imo.

Actually that was available in ART too. You could switch to English commentary using your remote control, ART did that way before Showtime did.

I always switch to English commentary when watching Showtime.

Oh and why the sad face, is it because Al-Ghol is Jordanian? :D

Arsenal Villa
Villa Liverpool

The rest will be drawn out and boring, maybe with a few highscores.

TBH I'd have said the same thing about serie A
Juve-Inter
Juve-AC
AC-Inter
Juve-Fiorentina
Genoa-Samp

All, always great fun and fiery.

I certainly think it's pointless to talk about the most entertaining league because to be honest all of them are shite aside form a few games.

    Tell me about it. Plus for the amount that you pay to have Showtime's coverage you expect something good, from commentators to those punks analyzing before the game.

    And that Lebanese fat dude with eye-glasses forgot his name, I feel like hitting him on his head each time I see him.

    Personally i enjoy the Italian league very much too, same for the Ligue. I can watch both leagues mid table teams and enjoy them. Not so much the La Liga though.

    But of course, it all comes down to preferences in the end.

    the top 5 best matches from each league should form a superleague :)

    I pay null, so I guess thats why i find them this good.
    Hmm, interesting, didn't think people considered Spurs consistent enough to take it there. Looks very open, but I still expect Liverpool to take it through some type of dramatic circumstance (the only way they know how?).
    Well you're right Spurs never was consistent enough but under Harry the team's spirit changed for the better much better.
